2250 Lizardmen vs Vampire Counts friendly need advice

Greets! I'm new here, just returning to the games (Warhammer and 40k). I've got a match coming up and am looking for some advice. This is going to be my first game of Warhammer in over a decade, and is against a person who plays regularly. I'd like to give a good showing.

Here's what I know about my opponent.. He plays Vampire Counts. I watched him play a match recently, and he loves his ghouls. What he fielded was a horde sized block of ghouls, a unit or two of skeletons, a small unit of mounted wights, a 20 or so strong unit of grave guard. A vampire lord and 2 other vampires, one tooled up for magic, one for combat.

After the battle, he talked a lot about how awesome the ghouls were in a horde, so I expect to see that popping up again. I also know he focuses on the raising dead and danse macabre spells.

Revised, again:

Lord
Slann
Battle standard bearer, Focus of mystery (Lore of Light), Focused Rumination, Becalming Cogitation, Cupped hands of the Old Ones

Ok, off the bat this list looks solid to fight undead, a few problems though, 1) Make the slan a bsb, just incase you fail those all important fear tests, and you might even with cold blooded! that saurus will not last long at all vs. a vampire made to fight. Even with -1 to hit, at the least give him an enchanted shield, for a good save, not entirely familiar with lizardmen book, but see if you can get a ward save too.
Well if this list is purely for vs Vampire counts then it should be ok. Lore of light would be best for vs Vamps. All in all, looks good. Only thing I would say is, to make this a all comers list, drop the skinks, add the sun standard of chotec on the temple guard, to protect from the inevitable shooting, and see about razordons or salamanders.
If he drops the scar vets he has NOTHING to fight a vampire. Thus his saurus will get owned.
