I am working on a list for an escalation league, once it goes above 1k I know what I want to field, the first step is where I am not 100% sure. I don't really care for skinks but I am using them to fill gaps in lower points games.

The list is:

Skink Priest
-------------------
Bastiladon(solar engine)"
-------------------
Skink skirmishers(blowpipes, 10 modes)
-------------------
Skink skirmishers(blowpipes, 10 modes)
-------------------
Saurus Warriors(HW/Shield, full command, 25 models)
-------------------
Temple Guard(Halberd/Shield, full command, 22 models)

I you don't fancy skinks don't take them. they are not needed in your list as your saurus cover the core requirement on their own.

That gives you 140 points to play with. I might be tempted to use them thus:

Level 2 for the Skink Preist
unit of 3 Terradons.

This costs the same.

Other than that i like the use of TG as something other than a bodyguard. they are going to hurt when they hit.

If you wanted a dispel scroll (i would) trim the TG down to 20 in number to cover it.

I will definitely have to consider your suggestions, the temple guard do hit very hard, and have a pretty good armor save.

I would down grade the TG to sarus warriors and take some swarms or hunting salamanders
