Is my endless spell good?
Why Is the 10 x saurus knights worth 180 when a unit size of 5-20 is worth 90pts.
Any information would be appreaciated.

I like the list. Shadowstrike is my favorite battalion.

If you are wanting to bring a Carnosaur you might be better severed bring the Scar Veteran variant. The ScV is more damage, especially if you equip him with the Sword of Judgement from the Reaml of Ulgu. The Old Blood's command ability will only work on himself in your army. The ScV on Carno's command ability would turn your warriors into a nightmare. You would generate extra attacks on 5/6 instead of just 6's while you have your Ordered Cohort warriors buff.

You also will get more buffing mileage out of a Skink Starpriest for your warriors than you will out of a Skink Priest with Feather Cloak. Having rerolls to saves, runs, and charges half the time is less impactful in my experiance than having the unit be -1 to enemy hits nearly all the time. Also, the Serpent Staff buff stacked with the ScV on Carno command ability just sounds awesome.

Best of luck. I hope this was helpful.

The endless spell is somewhat nice if you face wizards. Otherwise I'd rather go with the shackles for 20 points. Those are way better than they sound on paper.

You need another unit of skinks or chameleons to run the shadowstrike. I think you are looking athe book weord for knights. They are 90 points per 5 and can be run in a minimum unit of 5 and max of 20.
