hi, im facing my friends skaven tomorrow, and i´we been thinking about how to design my army list. i think i´m going for either mostly skinks or mostly saurus, cince we will be playing like 1000 pts, i think i´ll go for skinks. so here´s the army list that i´ll probobly be using. skink priest lvl 2 mount: ancient stegadon engine of the gods skink priest lvl2 staff of the lost sun skink chief mount: stegadon stegadon war-spear 10 skirmish skinks skink brave 10 skirmish skinks javelin & shield skink brave stegadon ancient stegadon engine of the gods salamander hunting pack so, this will end up at 1091 pts, so i´ll have to ask my friend if i can have a little more points than him, otherwise i´ll remove 1 skink priest. any tips??
Your army is also highly illegal, you have way too many points in heroes (mounts count in heroes allowance). I suggest you take a standard balanced force such as: Scar-Vet Skink-Priest 20 Saurus 10 Skink skirmishers 2x5 Chameleon Skinks 2x1 Salamander with extra handler This should give you around 1000 with command upgrades and magic items.
re: well, now i realise that you are right about the fact that i have too much points on my heroes. so i figured a bit and made up a new list. see if u like this one better... skink priest lvl 2 staff of the lost sun skink chief burning blade of chotec 12 saurus warriors spears & shields full com. 11 skink skirmish skink brave stegadon salamander hunting pack like that better? i think i´ll be able to handle his skaven now, thanks for the tips!
- 12 Saurus is too small, I'd get 20. - Skink chief means your Saurus will have to use his LD. I'd use a Scar-Vet instead. - Stegadon is fine, I'm not a fan of the giant bow vs the giant blowpipes but you can't have an Ancient Stegadon at 1000 pts. - The role of a skink priest is the role of a caster. Give him Plaque of Tepok and a protection trinket or use him with a cube of darkness or other combo like. I think giving him the staff is a waste of points. - Use Skink Skirmishers in units of 10, drop the brave. - Using a Stegadon at 1000 pts is a bit tricky since it means almost 25% of your army is spent on a single model. I would drop him in order to boost the Saurus to 20, get some Chameleons and another Salamander, especially if you are playing against Skaven. You should already be outnembered and you should have something to take care of war machines/weapon teamps
re: ok sa now i think i´we came up with something. here´s my army list: scar-vet army general light armour, shield, add. hand wep. skink priest lvl 2 plaque of tepok 12 saurus warriors spear & shield full com. 11 skink skirmish 10 skink skirmish javelin & shield 18 temple guard full com. totem of prophecy enchanted shield ( rev. guardian ) salamander hunting pack so, this is how i´ll play. i know u hate me because i doesn´t use 20 saurus.... but i think this will be good.
Hi The spears on the saurus are a waste as you wont have much of a third rank with only 12. Give them hand weapon and shields and run them 6X2. Use the spare points to add one more saurus or skink The enchanted shield would be more suited on the Scar Vet and the points spent on the magic banner would be better spent on beefing up the saurus block. You are going to be out numbered 2 or 3 to 1. Salamanders are going to be a huge advantage. Instead of buff ing your saurus blocks try to get another lone sally unit. Panic checks from their breath is priceless vs. skavin
Don't worry, I won't hate you if you don't take my advice. I don't have all the answers and there's more then one way to play Lizzies .
ok guys. i played yesterday, and i can tell u, i totally wiped him out... anyway thanks for all tips!!!
