There is a forum specifically for army lists. Please look into using it as this is the wrong area for this kind of thread.

Moving.

Engine of Gods ward only works on shooting attacks so has nothing to do with MR.
Honestly wouldnt bother with MR this edition at all, pick up Cupped Hands, it saves your Slaan AND probably screw up an enemy wizard.
Scar Vets are fine with just GW and Light Armor.

Death is really not a good choice for a Lizardmen, it does nothing to really help the rest of your army and you only have Purple Sun to threaten people (which can very easily backfire). You can maybe get away with it if you are running around solo, but in the middle of a block of Temple Guard that's just asking for trouble. Light, Life or even Shadow would be a better choice for the various buffs and debuffs. Metal would probably be a better choice if you are after a more offensive Lore.

That Potion isn't really that helpful. For starters you should expect to be casting Purple Sun more than once during a game. More importantly you don't know beforehand how many power dice you are going to get that turn, so you could easily waste it if you roll low the turn you use it. As mentioned MR is largely a waste in this edition.

I really wouldn't recommend putting a Cube of Darkness on the EoTG Priest, its a massive (and vulnerable) target and it really limits when you can use the Cube.

The Saurus, Chameleon Skinks and Sallies are all good, I don't normally bother with Spears but 24 strong is enough to make use of them.

Your TG block is a little small, 16 is usually fine if you are running Life on your Slann, otherwise 20 is a good number. 18 is also a bit of a strange number as far as ranks go, the Slann takes up 4 spots which gives you an incomplete rank assuming you go 6 wide unless you put both the Scar Vets in there (which I wouldn't recommend, the Saurus need the extra punch more than the TG in any case).

Light Armour + Great Weapon is fine for a Scar Vet, definitely more important than stuff like the Opal Amulet. Venom of the Firefly Frog is pretty helpful though, mostly just so you count as having a magic weapon (when you think about its 15 odd pts for a +2 S magic weapon, you already strike last most of the time anyway).

Ok, but could you please explain why Magic resistance arent good enough please ? I think the item is 30points and the whole unit gets it.
Aint enough of magic missiles and stuff ?

I was thinking about Metall but ended up with Death because i need something that kills chars. If i had more units with several wounds like stegadon i might have gone
with Life, but right now...i rather kill stuf then save.

Purple sun is a dangerous spell, no doubt. With a 16% of misfire i sure have to choose my spots. ANd pot of INI "5 pts" might get me one more opportunity.
I dont expect to use it more then 1 or 2 times. I see it as a kamikaze spells if the game goes for the worse. "Might do well in the Narrow passage mission ? "

Dont expect him to die within first or second magic phase.

I think that the Opal amulet is fine for 15points, because of the low wounds "2" on ScarVet aswell as the low INI.
Might be a marginal decision. I will look into it.
