In this list, I don't think light is necessarily the best- I'd have expected shadow to be the fiercest, too.

However, I agree that light is probably better for lizards than it is for any other army!

Also- I think the point's been made above, but those skinks dying in droves means steadfast won't be around for long... if you're picking your matchups, that's fine, but if you end up in combat with a unit of my trolls (for instance) with regen... well, they'd love to fight against skrox units. Particularly if you're buffing units... I'd rather be killing easy to kill stuff anyway, until steadfast is gone.

But I do think the unit has merit and (more importantly) is incredibly cool and would love to face it (and a life slann- like Tantras, I have only heard rumors of this mythical beast, never laid eyes on it...)

They're cheap enough that you can have lots of steadfast. And, with M6 (possibly 10 with light) these units should be picking their fight.
