    This is my usual "all-comers" list I run 9 times out of 10. Since I'm new here I figured a few extra sets of eyes could help me figure out any possible way of making this any stronger. Any C&C would be appreiated. Slann takes either shadow or light and dominates the magic phase as well as provides magic defense. 3 solid blocks (2 stubborn), 3x normal skinks as redirectors/shooting, 2 chamelons shootingtaking out artillary, large monsters, and light infantry, and 4 salamanders (especially deadly with shadow) I think i have a well rounded fighting force.

    IDK. Looks about as straight forward, all the good stuff as a lizradmen all comers list can be. Got the sallies, slann with the 3 big goodies, camo skinks, skirmishers, stubborn all over, enough magic damage to skill spirits. Got all comers all over.
    I wouldn't do anything really dramatic, but I would change it a little just to suit my preference. Seems good as is.

    I'd spring the two extra points for a great wep instead of a halbred.

    I feel like Discipline is kind of wasted since 2 of the 3 core blocks in your army are stubborn. A little redundant. Like cupped hands on a life slann. Turns from great to OK.

    I think iron curse icon would do better on the TG champ just because the slann has a ward save already. I feel like it would get more use in that unit from cannon fire and the like. Giving the save to 4 saurus instead of 3 TG and a slann with a better save, from a cannon shot straight throw. And even better odds from bolt throwers and rock throwers. And if you take life instead(which is great in a saurus heavy army) the regen spell would make in completely obsolete vs all non flaming war machines.
    Of course then you wold have to drop the venom and give him a magic wep or armor to compensate. Maybe free up some pionts for a great wep for that vet and a 5 piont shield of wep for the champ.

    Kind of weird that your vet has a helm and a crown. I think some people in my gaming group might get a bit pissy if I ran it. We're more for the flavor than competitive. Unless I modeled him two headed. ;)
    I probably shouldn't say pissy. More just laugh at him for and make fun for being unintentionally two headed.

    Seems like a lot of skirmishers between the 3 skinks and two larger than normal groups of camos.
