    50x skinks
    21x templeguard
    16x cold one cavalry

    the 56 saurus is a nice amount, you could use those as 2 nice sized blocks, perhaps with spears for some more attacks.

    temple guard amount is ok, i like to run more but thats a personnel preference. youll most certainly want to put your slann in there, what with all the cannons (dwarves) and killing blow (tomb kings) out there.

    stegadon will have a rough time against both of those armies. dwarves have the shooting to take it down quick and tomb kings have some nice new monsters to do the same in CC.

    razordons are kinda meh overall but they can be useful for denying a flank, perhaps with the stegie if you take him too (this will be semi-useless against dwarves but could be helpful against tomb kings).

    youve got a lot of skinks, so you could either run them as skirmishers with javelins/shields (more effective IMO), buy some kroxigors to odd to the block of 50 for a big horde OR proxy them as counts-as chameleon skinks to go warmachine hunting.

    the CoC will find both of those matchups tough, but taking them against TK might be good for flanking some chariots

    Id say overall the only thing your truly missing is some form of effective warmachine hunting/lone character harrasment. since your getting a slann, your magic phase should be well under control. either do the proxy chameleon thing or pick up some terradons to accompany tic-taqtoe

    thanks so far, i'm goingtoo order some terradons for tiq taq.

    at the moment 36 of my saurus have spears.

    after the slann i think the next addition will be another stegadon, 2 salamanders 4 terradons and 3 kroxigors.

    for now my nephew only has a battalion a bone giant and a screaming catapult and my friend all the warmachines exept for the normal cannon, dwarf warriors, miners and lord on shieldbearers.


    can i post pics here too? or should i do that on anotherpost area

    you can post pics here. the salamanders are a great addition. id keep the spear saurus together for a big block and use the rest for a smaller flanking unit. ive got 12 steggies, so i always encourage more :). think about using him as an EotG or a Chief with a Warspear
