So I have been brooding a long time over the loss of my precious coldblooded, and the guy I sold them too, traded them back.
Now I have been a complete stranger to the new army list, so can I have a few musts and don'ts and other advice?
Also, I was wondering what I'm really needing, my models thusfar are:

Slann (preferred the previous system)
Bunch of skink heroes/priests (I really like the extra options)
2xcarni (always liked the looks of him, never really used it)
1 hero on foot (I think I'm gonna miss the JSOD, I'm wondering what's the new deal)

45 sauri with hw/shield (4x FC,spears to change weaponry, bit more than 20 AFAIK correctly)
25 sauri with spear/shield (I think I want to go for 3 times 18 sp/sh with command, 246 pts for a core with 25 str4 attacks? Yes please!)
64 skinks with blowpipes (my favorite unit in the 6th edition book, by far, I'm saddened to see they've become more expensive)
20 skinks with jav/shield (skinks in blocks? Not sure if i'm liking this)
9 skinks on sprue
bits to change weaponry on previous three
(few old skinks with bows)

4 terradon riders (I'm liking the new profile, not sure if they ARE better)
8 saurus cavalry (If I'm correct, they became a little bit better, and I liked them before already)
6 kroxigors (why?! what have you done to my babies?!! lower strength and when put between skinks, easy loss of CR?)
20 templeguard (I previously ran a deathstar unit with them, regards to stelek for suggesting it, and I really liked these. Now they seem even harder and the models sweeter, so I bought the real deal instead of saurus proxies)

4-5 salamanders (saddened once more, I really dislike templates, now I have to spend all that money again for razordons, and I'm not even sure if they're worth it)
3.5 stegadons (2 new guys unassembled, one guy assembled but oddly,as there's a stone circle on a base and the bow's already installed, and one old guy without headshield,tail, howdah, anything on the howdah. Possibly my new favorite model among lizardmen, I never used them before, but the blowpipes and engine really look great, I'm now looking to assemble them with interchangeable options)

That's my list of models and my ideas on them. I don't have jungle swarms or chameleons, because they just never cut it for me.

All help, suggestions and opinions are welcome.
