Hello everyone! The first list I build from all the models in my collection was this "masterpiece": Oldblood on Carnosaur - General - Trait: Tenacious - Artefact: Phoenix Stone Skink Starpriest 20x Saurus Warriors - Alpha Talon, Pennant Bearer, Wardrum - Celestite Spear 10x Skinks - Alpha - Blowpipe & Moonstone Club 1x Salamander 1x Salamander 3x Skink Handeler 3x Ripperdaktyl Riders In my first game I failed incredebly (here is the link to a short battlereport) and I will try to improve myself. In terms of "know your army" and "know the rules" I think I just need some more expieriece. But when it comes to Listbuilding I hope you guys can help me a bit optimizing my list. Modelwise I have: 1x Slann 1x EotG 2x Scar Vet on Cold one 1x Saurus Sunblood 1x Skink Chief 1x Skink Priest 2x Skink Starpriest 30x Saurus Warrior with Spears 20x Saurus Warrior (still on sprue) 20x Saurus Guard 40x Skinks with blowpipe 40x Skinks with javelin 30x Skinks (still on sprue) 10x Cameleon Skinks 1x Stegadon with Sunfire Throwers 1x Bastiladon with Ark of Sotek 3x Kroxigor 3x Ripperdaktyl Riders 4x Salamander I build the list around the Carnosaur model, because I really like the model, but I´m not sure if this army can work....when you see how the first battle turned out....I´ll guess not so well Do you have any suggestions? Cheers, Trepus
Oldblood on a carnosaur doesn't work so well in 1000pts in my experience, the scar vet can be good, especially if put in a firelance starhost, unfortunately you don't have knights to make that work. What you do have is enough models for a shadowstrike starhost. You could just do two units of twenty skinks, rippers and a starpriest, say your carnosaur rider is a scar vet, add a salamander and you've got 1000pts. Phoenix stone to your starpriest and quicksilver potion to your scar vet. If you're playing against chaos again, then might be worth looking at some of our units that get perks against daemons like the bastiladon with searing beam.
Maybe something like this, Leaders Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (260) - Warblade Skink Starpriest (100) Battleline 10 x Skinks (80) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (80) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 10 x Saurus Warriors (100) - Clubs Units 5 x Chameleon Skinks (120) 3 x Ripperdactyl Riders (140) Battalions Shadowstrike Starhost (120) Total: 1000/1000 Or this if you want a tank. Leaders Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (260) - Warblade Saurus Scar-Veteran on Cold One (100) Skink Starpriest (100) Battleline 5 x Saurus Knights (120) - Blades - Seraphon Battleline 5 x Saurus Knights (120) - Blades - Seraphon Battleline Units Behemoths Bastiladon (300) Total: 1000/1000
Thank you for these lists. I´ll give the Shadowstrike Starhost with Salamander and Scar Vet on Carnosaur a try. On Saturday I´ll meet another member of our gamuing group and his Flesheater Courts. I assume, he´ll bring a Terrorgheist and a lots of Ghouls. When I have some spare time after the match, I´ll try to write a small report about it. Cheers, Trepus
