Welcome to Lustria Online!

To be honest you've made a great start with the battleforce, even you do not get 1000pts out of it, you converting models to a scarvet and preist so you should be able to field 1000pts.

As for what next, I would suggest getting a salamander or more skinks as 12 isnt really enough.

Hope I was of help

Welcome! I think having two battalion boxes is good IF you like to field Temple Guard and Cold One Cavalry at least every now and then. If not, then I'm on the same lines Wistrel: Skinks and Salamanders! Later, when you go towards games of over 2000 points, I'd recommend Slann, more Saurus and maybe some Terradons. Good luck with your army and don't forget to post pics of your forces!

I'd also get some skinks and paint them as chameleon skinks (either vintage military chamo color schemes or painted to match your terrain). I'm not a big fan of the look or price of the official chamo skink models.
