Trying to make a "shooting" army. Anyone had any luck with 2-3 engines? Here's a list I'm toying with... Slann Starmaster -Great Rememberer, Incandescent Rectrices Skink Starseer Engine of the Gods Engine of the Gods 40 x Skinks -Blowpipes & Star Bucklers 40 x Skinks -Blowpipes & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks -Blowpipes & Star Bucklers 3 x Razordons 3 x Razordons Bastiladon - w/snakes 120 points for summoning (More Razors, Salamanders, Chameleons as required) Potential to drop the skinks down to 3x10 for another Bastiladon but at this stage, I like the numbers for the enemy to wade through, and more shots in the double turn. With an effort, could also shift this into a heavenswatch. Obviously aim for the double turn but I also like the idea of going for the d6 mortal wounds option. With a slann and starmaster engine rolls should be a little more predictable. 3 Engines could also be quite interesting too as one goes for the double turn while the others target heroes/elites with the d6 mortal wounds. Similar to razors, law of numbers means 3 of them should get you a double turn and potential for 3D6 mortal wounds (albeit unreliable). Unlikely to be competitive but could be fun. Interested to hear thoughts!
I'd drop a razordon from each group and grab some handlers and an astrolith. I agree. I'd keep the skink blocks as is otherwise you wont have much of a body count
There was someone at the GT final who had a similar list and did pretty decent, think he got an extra turn in most if not all his games!
Interesting - Tweaked it a little, definitely going to be trying this: Engine of the Gods - General, Master of Star Rituals, Coronal Shield Engine of the Gods Skink Starseer - Incandescent Rectrices Skink Starpriest Skink Priest -Priestly Trappings 40 x Skinks - Boltspitters 10 x Skinks - Boltspitters 10 x Skinks - Boltspitters 3 x Razordons Bastiladon w/Laser Bastiladon w/Laser Heavenswatch Starhost I know a slann would help the engines (and the list) immensely but imtrying to keep it all skink themed. Will finish painting my second engine and give it a shot and see if it has potential
