    Thinking of making a very strong list with heavy skink support. They are super cheap for what they do and they can take out such large threats, monsters, war machines, single heros, single lords, etc. with all their shots. Im primarily talking about skirmishing skinks and chamo skinks.

    The list will center around two giant hordes of units. 1 block of 45 Saurus awith HW/S and 1 block of 36 horded + slann TG. They will be accompanied by 2x units of 2 Salamanders and 3x groups of 7 chamo skinks. Also 4 groups of skink Skirmishers. They provide flank protection, redirecting goodness, and a hellfire of blow dart shots with poison. They are so cheap that its almost a waste for the opponents to shoot at them with anything of real signifiance. Also if they are shooting at those little units they arent hitting your hordes, which hit like trucks and have the staying power to keep them trucking across the field to smash into what they want. Salamanders need no introduction, they will destroy.

    Ive seen some tournament winning lists for lizardmen where they took the same approach as this...what are your guys thughts on this?

    A skink heavy list would have more skinks. Maybe use some skrox units too. What you are describing is, to me, an average list. It should do well.
