This comes out to 800 points? Feedback on this list is going to require you list upgrades, magic items and the like...

You can get a lot of Night Goblins for your points. They may not be able to dent the saurus, but their static combat resolution will make them hard to beat.

The TG aren't going to do much for you here in such a small number. One decent-ish sized Saurus unit with a lot of shooting will do best, especially against NG. If you want to stick with Saurus mostly, I would suggest a small unit of Kroxigor or CoC. While they will be a large part of the points cost of the army here, the great armour saves and high S will just eat those squishy gobos!

I'd imagine 12 Saurus with spears would make a pretty big mess of whatever night gobbo unit they fight, regardless of static combat resolution.

Nets and fanatics are what you need to watch out for if you go with small numbers.

Indeed, that is what I had in mind.

Sadly at so few points I can't really think of a good way to deal with them aside from shooting the crap out of them if the opportunity arises. A small Saurus block would get eaten by one solid pass.

Blowpipes wouldn't be too shabby would they?

But other than that there is nothing really. Meaning that there is going to need to be a few units of Skink Skirmishers and/or a Razordon.

I love people who post no upgrades, its so hillarious.

Why hallarious?They just have a better life style called "saving",they just happened to put it on gaming too,not sarcastic.
Some times upgrades just waste your points,but sometimes they are neccessary

The issue here is that he has upgrades (what he posted is somewhat less than 800 points), but he didn't explain what they were.

Uh tony...HE HAS NO UPGRADES.

AT ALL.

That isn't EVER viable, you cannot run an army with no upgrades.

That was one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.
