    Apart from the three things mentioned I don't have any serious issues with this.

    You're over your 25% core tax so I would find better ways to spend that 40 points (This is after your skirmisher unit is bumped to 10). Also I entered the data from your list and i'm guessing you have loping stride and blood roar on your carnos and sharpened horns on the stegs, but even with that I found their were enough points to squeak in bsb on your scarvet. So when I did it all up it came out like this:

    LORDS
    Old blood + carno (loping stride, blood roar) + gw + armour of dest + dawnstone + tots

    HEROES
    scarvet + carno (loping stride, blood roar) + gw + la + talisman o pres, BSB flaming banner
    (Alternate build: AOF + luckstone + relic sword, BSB flaming banner)

    skink priest lv 2 beasts + dispel + ruby ring

    CORE
    43 saurus +spears, mus & stand

    10 skink skirmishers

    10 skink skirmishers

    SPECIAL
    2x3 rippers

    RARE
    ancient steg EOTG, sharpend horns

    ancient steg sharpend horns

    I went with the flaming banner bsb because you only have one flaming attack and it's magic dependent on EOTG and that can be rough with the number of regen monsters about; that's also why I put the ruby ring on the priest. I also proposed an alternate build for your scar vet (1+1+/5+ or you can stick with yours; either way give him the luckstone)with magic weapon because magic is also you only answer to ethereals other than crumbling and it'd be fairly easy for them to avoid the only unit you have with ranks; or put them in your flank. Also with the relic sword he wounds on a 5+ regardless for high toughness. All that comes in at 6 pts under 2500 so you could change your banner to swiftness, but I like the toolbox approach.

    Best of luck and I hope I helped.

    Also I downloaded an update to my army bulider spreadsheet and it's posting an error on the BSB it says he's over 50 pts, which I guess means they are saying the BSB points are being counted towards his 50 points of magical items. Can anyone clarify this for me? If this is the case give the scar vet a mundane great weapon, LA, dragon helm, luckstone, bsb flaming and you've got 21 points leftover. 3 skinks or a saurus and your champ back. Take care.

    Good to know. Maybe I'll get another carnosaur and use the one I have for more than eye candy.

    Your BSB can't have magic items and a magic banner. It's one or the other - drop the flaming banner for sure.
