    First the list;

    Lords:

    Slann w/Lore of Metal, 'Focus of Mystery', 'Unfathomable Presence', Bane Head
    General and BSB, Standard of Discipline

    Metal already does a great job killing things Saurus can't grind to death in combat ie heavy armour, and the Cataclysm spells are amazingly good. Ld10 aura and re-rolls means he keeps the phalanx of TG and flanking Saurus in line.

    Slann w/Lore of Shadow, 'Focus of Mystery', 'Unfathomable Presence', Cupped Hands

    Goes with the Eternal Flame unit of TG, focuses on hexing units. The 'Dominance' spell for this guy is flat-out insane, opponents will cry with frustration if you manage to get it off

    Heroes:

    Level 1 Skink Priest, EOTG, Cube of Darkness, Charmed Shield

    Would go to Level 2 but can't afford it. Place him on a Fulcrum, block the first cannon shot with the shield. His job is to cast 'Fantastic Foresight' before everyone else starts casting, and then 'Four Winds' to push back enemy advances/re-direct vortices and blow enemy Wizards off their Fulcrums. Also, Cube comes in handy for getting rid of the many RIP spells going off.

    Scar-Vet w/Sword of the Hornet, Dragonhelm, light armour, shield, Talisman of Protection

    Scar Vet w/Sword of Swift Striking, Gamblers Armour, shield, Dragonbane Gem

    These guys join the Temple Guard units and take down enemy characters/monsters.

    Special:

    6 x Camo Skinks

    Warmachine assassins. Might replace them with another Salamander in Rare if I take Eagles

    Musician, 18 x Temple Guard

    Joins the Metal Slann, guards one of the Fulcrums

    Standard Bearer w/Banner of Eternal Flame, Musician, 17 x Temple Guard

    Sits with the Shadow Slann and guards the other Fulcrum

    Core:

    (2) Standard Bearer, Musician, 18 x Saurus

    Guard the flanks of the Temple Guard and counter-charge with them if they need more bodies

    (4) 10 x Skinks w/blowpipes

    Anti-monster dakka, and screening to deny charges on the TG and Saurus. Will most likely die fairly early on, but hopefully I knock out a Giant before they perish

    Rare:

    Salamander w/3 x Skink Handlers

    Anti-cavlary artillery, positioned near the Fulcrums to drop onto assault units that come near. Can always Summon more if he dies/I need more firepower

    I've got 750 to spend on magical gear and monsters. Will probably go for;

    - Level 4 Zoat

    Life caster to camp a Fulcrum. If need be, I can also attach him to a pack of Cold Ones for a buffed cavalry-style assault unit

    Then either

    - Arabyan Puzzlebox

    Put on Zoat to make him better

    - Living Deadwood staff

    Create more forest, turns all forests into very dangerous Blood Forests thus evicting enemy casters from them

    or

    - 4 x Great Eagles w/Swiftsense+Blood of the Flame Roc

    Replaces/supports the Camo Skinks in getting rid of enemy warmachines and monsters. Makes a pretty decent assault unit, hopefully if they're Unbound it'll be in enemy lines

    or

    - 20-30 Cold Ones

    Bodyguard to the Zoat to get him close to enemy lines to drop a 'Dwellers' on an important unit. Can split them up into several smaller packs for harassment if I want, but they're easier to buff in one unit
