Hi all, I'm planning on starting Lizardmen soon and I was thinking about making this list my goal. I'd really appreciate some opinions here. Thanks alot.

Let me get this straight; your bringing 8 magic levels to table and are still taking 3 Dispel Scrolls and the Diadem ? First of all; make your Slann the BSB, this way his TG will (almost) never break from combat. Second; get the War-Drums on your Engine, just march yourself into the middle of the enemy army and set of the nuke, then just march to another spot the next turn and nuke again Third; get rid of the Soul of Stone and get the Cupped Hands of the Old Ones, you will be unlucky indeed (or playing DE) if you miscast more than once in the game and the Soul of Stone only really increase your chances of rolling a double 1
Personally, I frequently take a power stone (or two) with my Slann. Especially if he knows all the spells in a lore, and has the cupped hands. Most armies have one spell that just horribly hoses them in a terrible and awful way, and I like to have a magic turn where I can "alpha strike" and just throw everything at someone. I take the blood statuette, the rod of storms, and powa stone all in that turn. Powa Stones are also important to take on skink priests especially, in case they roll comet they could actually cast it. Individual salamanders are the way to go, panic more stuff.
