Edit: Updated
Fluff aim:
I want this army to represent the memories/remade forms of a bunch of the toughest, bravest Lizards from the world that was. Things I want to play up are uplifting/ascension to demi-godhood, celestial/spacey imagery, things like the Slann's throne and Engine of the gods having this look of 'magi-tech', like almost sci-fi but obviously still made from stone and metal.
Their Stormcast buddies, if included, will have heavy theming around lightning and thunderclouds, contrasting the brighter colours of the lizards, and drawing heavily upon influence from the presentation of the Angels in the Diablo game series.
Crunch aim: Absolute tank army with some tasty magic to back it up)

List (with conversion notes):
Slann Starmaster: This is going to be a biggy. I want my slann to be a newborn: looking like an axolotl, with those frilly gills and sort of foetal, floating. I want it to look very ethereal and graceful. Lots of magitech craziness going on with the throne too.
Looking at using a lot of necron, tau and/or eldar bits in line with the Stegadon's EotG arm.
Status: Blu-tac and frustration!
Saurus Sunblood (aka. 'Big Momma'): Using the Dracoth from the Stormcast Lord Celestant model as a base (yeah, she is gonna be huge) this is going to be one big hacked-off lizard.
Status: Under construction.
Skink Starseer/Starpriest: His cloak of feathers and flying ability will be rather literal: like a feathered dinosaur/archaeopteryx with super colourful plumage. Looking at making him magnetised or pinned so he can be put onto a floating palanquin to make him a Seer. Using similar bits to the Slann palanquin, possibly more stone and shrine-like, usig bits from the Luminark/Hurricanum kit to make it like an orrery.
Status: Blu-tac and frustration!
Saurus Guard: Assembled as is, possibly with some poking around of the shields. Bone armour will be painted like obsidian/fossilised bone. Alpha, Icon Bearer and Drummer to have standard conversion for saurus (doubled up super-icon and big dewlap throat on bearer, cold one tail on Alpha and bulked up armour, huge open mouth/froggy throat sac on the drummer)
Status: Planned
20 Saurus Warriors with clubs: Command converted as above.
Status: Assembled, awaiting greenstuff.
Saurus Knights: Cold Ones swapped for Dark Elf Cold Ones. Command Converted as above.
Status: Cold Ones assembled, Riders assembled.
3 Kroxigor: Converted from extensive 10 year plus bits box and the Cold Ones not used in making the Knights. Heavily inspired by the Total War iteration, so using ogres as a base, some tyranid warrior bits in the mix.
Status: Under construction.
Skinks with javelins. Assembled as is, possibly some conversion on Alpha. These are going to be very different in colour scheme: very pale, bright red crests. Basically reptile versions of the Warboys from Fury Road.
Status: Planning.
Stegadon /Engine of the Gods.
This lad is going to be the centrepiece: one of these beasties uplifted, walking on it's hind legs, crazy skink warboys hanging off of him, with the EotG mounted as a massive golden magitech-looking gauntlet, or between the Steg's horns/on his crest for the EotG.
Status: Under construction, awaiting heavy sculpting!
So yeah, that's the plan, pics as things develop, as well as my Deadzone/Warmahordes bits.
