    Welcome to Lustria! May the jungle snakes slither around you in harmony...or something.

    Make those cohorts into 2 blocks of 24 Skinks with 3 Kroxigor (i.e. split up one unit) and get Musician + Standard Bearer for each. 3 Krox can dish out more damage than 2, and full command is always a good thing.

    Remove Skink Braves from Skirmisher units. They are next to useless.

    Add Musician + Standard Bearer to regular cohorts. Again, always a good thing.

    Add an Extra Handler to each Salamander. Sometimes we are unlucky and get all our handlers eaten in the first turn. Having 4 will help with that.

    Is that any closer? (don't have my book on me to count points) If you don't like those ideas, then you can just add a single Kroxigor to one of your cohorts. That will make you only 4 points shy.

    EDIT: typos...

    Thanks for the answer. What do you mean by the cohorts? You suggesting that i should take 4/5 units of 3 krox and 24 skinks?

    Eh, sorry. I guess I should have been more clear. Cohort is just the rank and file skinks, as opposed to skirmishers. Right now you have 3 that have the Kroxigor upgrade (Skrox) and 3 that don't (regular cohorts).

    I was suggesting that you make your army with 2 Skrox and 3 cohorts. Does that make more sense?

    In hindsight, it may actually be better to combine those skink cohorts as well. More bodies per unit will help them stay in combat longer, hopefully long enough to get a Skrox unit into flanking position. That will be something for you to play around with though.
