Saurus or skinks

[treadhead]

What're better? skinks or saurus? , I am just starting a lizardmen army ;D and I'd like to know.
By the way, while I'm at it are slann any good for a relatively cheap (2000pts) army? I've heard mixed opinions over these and I hope you guys will be able to help out.

Both are good and supplement each other well. Quite simple really, you have cheap light infantry, skirmishers and heavy shock infantry. All perform different roles and work well together.

If it was 6th ed I'd say Skinks over Saurus in pure effectiveness (even if Saurus are awesome and all-Skink armies were cheese), but it isn't. Saurus nowadays are damn good, especially with spears (only unit in the game where a spear is actually good. fornicate you GW).

Skinks. Skirmishing smelly, sadistic, sanitary, seditious, sly, sneaky, silly, sausage-like, slimy, selective skinks.

You forgot sexy, seductive and sensual.
