Thoughts on using a solo Slann?

I've got a 3vs3 battle coming up next weekend.

Me (Lizardmen) + Chaos + Cathay vs High Elves + Vampire Counts + Orcs. 9000 vs 9000 points.

What do you think on the pros or cons of using a solo Slann without any accompanying Temple Guard? My logic being that I would make him ethereal to protect him better, plus he'd be able to fly around better solo and deal out damage, and retreat quicker if needed. Also I'd be using the new Renegade rules so he's essentially a level 5 wizard and could dispel a lot of any magic thrown at him.

Has anyone tried a solo Slann before, is it a recommended tactic at all?

Has anyone used the new Renegade rules in a battle yet?

If so, how did you get on? Was there anything that stood out as amazing, or anything that needs further improvement?

Also, does anyone know how long it took for the previous version of Renegade to appear in Old World Builder/New Recruit etc?

Just want to see what my fellow Lizardmen brothers and sisters have come up with. Here is mine.

Thoughts on the new Renegade rules for our beloved Lizardmen?

For anyone that has watched the video from Square-based with their latest adjustment to our rules, or downloaded their draft written version (https://docs.google.com/document/d/10JbMnZzdadz5bT8WrTIcFzWilhbRWy-chHc6XLf9w4o/edit?usp=drivesdk) - let's hear your thoughts!

Lizardmen have been a bit weak in TOW, but they're suggesting to make improvements to every unit, which I love.

Personally, I really like what they've done with the Slann. Increasing the arcane vessel range to 24" (for spells AND dispels) is great, and allowing 3x disciplines of the old ones, rather than 1, means we can field essentially level 5 super all-powerful wizards.

Introducing predatory fighter (extra attack everytime you roll a 6 when rolling your hits) across most units will be helpful too.

Bringing back Skink Cohorts with embeddable Kroxigar adds a new flavour I've not experienced before.

I also really like the beast handler changes proposed, where the handlers are basically tokens that give the stronger beasts a higher number of attacks.

Really excited to try the new Renegade rules out once this version has been finalised!

Hello, newbie painter here trying out dry brushing and edge highlights for the first time. I'm quite happy/proud of how these scales have come out over the last 2 nights, but looking for any suggestions from more experienced painters on if they need anything else to make them 'pop' please?
