The idea is to combine the bodies of Skinks with the mighty giant dinos of the army, let me know what you think! Allegiance: Order Leaders Slann Starmaster (260) - General - Trait: Great Rememberer - Artefact: Coronal Shield Engine of the Gods (220) - Artefact: Prism of Amyntok Skink Priest (80) - Priestly Trappings Battleline 40 x Skinks (200) - Boltspitters & Moonstone Clubs 40 x Skinks (200) - Boltspitters & Moonstone Clubs 30 x Skinks (180) - Boltspitters & Moonstone Clubs Units 3 x Skink Handlers (40) 2 x Salamanders (80) Behemoths Bastiladon (280) Bastiladon (280) Battalions Thunderquake Starhost (170) Total: 1990/ 2000
I like this list but I'd rather equip the skinks with Star Bucklers, I used to equip them with the Clubs but the shields are better, also the salamanders are situational and maybe you could keep the points for summoning them or some Razordons
I disagree. I prefer the clubs. Skinks with clubs are still not good in close combat, but the weight of numbers can definitely help in come situations. Star bucklers, while nice, aren't that great with a 6+ save. I like Skink spam. My only issue with the list is the lack of dedicated close combat units. Of course, it all depends on your tactics.
Clubs suck. Star bucklers are better. A 6+ save even against rend -1 is better by far. Skinks should be running away and blowpiping stuff. Not fighting in combat.
I'm trying an almost identical list to this but with kroxigor and 10 more skinks instead of the salamanders and the priest. Will be good to hear how it fares for you.
