That oldblood is awfully expensive; I would take something cheaper, maybe drop the Sotek mark (which is usually very expensive), since the Scimitar thingy is actually pretty cool. I'd also protect him with some LA, which is cheap and gives a nice extra save. For your skink skirmishers, blowpipes are fine but javs are also nice because they don't have as many penalties when shooting. Maybe 1 unit with them; it's also a nice change from the blowpipe models; gets boring using the same 30 guys over and over.

I agree with mr. pimp. The oldblood is quite nasty even with minimal equipment.
Try:
sotek
tepok
chotec
la, sh, gw
jaguar charm
232pts, saving you over 50, which you can use to boost your saurus unit up to 19 strong. Plus now you can bust chariots and such. And I'll bet, that you score more kills on average against a variety of opponents that you would with the 50pt scimitar.
I would also advise that if you are gonna use saurus warriors, you should take 2-3 units and not only 1.

So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak.

Columbind,
I must admit I am seriously not liking this list, and I don't mean in a "I'm scared way". The are a number of things which puzzle and confuse me, these are:
Firstly none of your Skink skirmishers scout, why? In my opinion this takes away the ultimate advantage when using skinks. I personally give almost all my skink units the scout ability, even if I have no intension of scouting them. Not only does it mean they can set up further into the field, but it also means that most of the time your army will get +1 to go first. Finally by scouting a large number of skinks you can conceal a large part of any battle plan you are working on.
Your saurus units are to small to warrant a standard bearer, as this will simply mean they are worth more VPs to your opponent. Without the STD you will be able to throw them into any combat and not really care too much about them. Instead of giving them a STD give them a musician that way if they flee a charge they are definitely coming back.
The character you have picked as your general doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of your army. He will be plodding along with the Saurus, whilst the Krox/Steg/Terras run off into the battle ahead of him. I would suggest dropping this character and making the other Scar-Vet the general and giving him the Aura/Blessing of Tepok/Shield. That way he can contribute the leadership where you need it (Terradons get pretty scared on Ld 5), also he can get into combat where you need it, when you need it.
If you did drop the non-Nikey Scar-Vet then try replacing him with a third skink priest so you can control magic better, and make all three priests level 2s. Heavens magic can be pretty daunting to your opponent if you have good spells and a fair amount of dice.
Finally Stegadons work very well if they can cause a distraction in some way or if they can support a thought out strategy. Be careful when using them as they can be easy to take down and are worth a bucket of points.
Cheers
Ches
