I note that you’ve taken an arc of sotec as one of your options. I thought I’d point out that you have to have an existing jungle swarm in order for it to add bases to. If you don’t have these then you are negating 50% of the special rules of the model.
Apart from that I can’t offer too much in the way of feedback.
How married to the idea of just skinks are you? I worry that even with cold blooded, the average leadership of the army is very low.

Thanks for the feedback. To be honest it was more a fun, fluffy list. Theorycrafting as such.

It's play style was of interest as an annoyance/skermishing list. Wasn't sure if people had tried it.

I’ve faced skink heavy lists in a number of tournaments but they were normally a combined list with all skink core (such as yours), a couple of units of terradons and 2 salamanders but backed up with the almost compulsory slann and temple guard, as well as stegadon. The skink skirmishers are such a pain! I love Tetto but every time I use him I inevitably either drop him down a hole or wipe his magic levels from miscasting comet! 😂

Knoffles hit it right on the head. The old Lizardmen skink lists used their insane amount mobility and skirmishing to play charge redirect simulator for most of the game while a Slann/guard combo bombed the ever living shit out of the opponent. Big includes were stegadons, skink priests, and a few salamander packs. The list worked very well when piloted correctly, and was a major pain to face if you couldn't shoot out the Slann/guard unit.

My only huge issue with your list is your lack of anything to do the big killing. You will be able to skirmish all day, but even with all those blowpipes I do not think you really have enough killing power in the list. The large unit of skinks go with our favorite star skink slann impostor I assume, and that is just going to be a big target for your opponent.

If you do get a chance to try this list out please let us know how it goes!
