That's an awesome score, good job! While my warroom is acting up and I can't access my lists, I'll give you a few good pointers.

Paingivers are your best friends, you'll probably have at least a min unit in every list. At worst, they can score zones. At best they make your beasts ultra effective and run super hot.

That being said, skorne can get support bloat, because we have so many good supporting pieces. Agonizers and kreas are great, but be mindful how much you invest. Willbreakers are really versatile and extollers are needed for a variety of matchups because of Guidance (anti grymkin). Marketh, our caster attachment is excellent with many casters, I like him with rasheth for extra aoes. I try to limit my support points to around 15. A unit of paingivers(7), an extoller(3), and an agonizer(6) for example. Also, I don't always categorize the Shaman as a support piece because his gun is really good, but he does support things nicely by helping to cast rush.

2 units of ferox with makeda is great. You can do this with both makeda 1 and 2. Her ability to keep them from dying is soooo good for jamming and keeping a threat around because of their jump ability.
