    Hi guys,
    First post here after lurking on all the forum. Former fantasy battle tournament player, i've came back to the game a month ago and i plan to chose and paint what i'll play in my upcoming first tournament.
    I'm hesitating between two lists and i'd love to have your insight, considering i don't know if it's hard or friendly level tournament ( so i'll take the most competitive list)

    Here we are ,

    List 1

    3 razordons

    Thunderquake Starhost

    Engine of the gods : Incandescent rectrice
    Bastiladon : prism
    Bastiladon : prism
    3 skinks handlers
    3 razordon



    List 2

    Leaders

    Slann Starmarster : Gryph feather , Great rememberer

    Units

    10 skinks

    Shadowstrike Starhost

    Skinks Starpriest ( or Skink priest ? ) prism of amyntok
    10 skinks
    10 skinks
    6 Ryperdactyles


    Thunderquake Starhost

    Engine of the gods : Incandescent rectrice
    Bastiladon : prism
    Bastiladon : prism

    Welcome aboard

    List 1, you have 2 EotG but you only need 1 for the Thunderquake, have you 2 for a reason?

    List 2, running 2 batallions is risky at 2k better at 2.5k, also skinks won't do anything in units of 10, in your shadowstrike better to have a 40 skink unit so they all get buffed.

    As a brand new player I would go with Thunderquake as it is easier to play than Shadowstrike, Shadowstrike is deadly but Thunderquake is just hard to kill.

    Hey Crowsfoot, thanks for the answer.
    I'll give you some more informations .

    List 1 : i picked one more to improve a bit my summoning power, maybe it's to much and i got other option ( carno ? )

    List 2 : The idea was to have TQ plus a bit more impact to fastkill key target so the shadowstrike. Skinks are just here for BattleLine and unlocking battalion, havent tryed yet big skinks unit, only screener , obj taker ...

    Considering my experience , i'm not " brand new ". I'm a former tournament player ( warhammer battle ) and playing 1 / 2 Aos games each week so i can get used to SS without a problem :p

    I don't have a lot of experience with Saurus lists, but 1 thing I can say is that there are probably a bunch of artifacts from the realms that might be more effective than the prism of amyntok on the Sunblood. Maybe you've already considered them and this one fits your plan better, I was just wondering since it is less common these days to see 2 artifacts from the Seraphon ones when there are a plenty to choose from the realms, let alone 3 of them!

    the Ghyrstrike (or something like that) realm artifact is amazing for Sunbloods. +1 to hit and to wound means his exploding sixes are now exploding 5's.

    Like I said I don't know much about Saurus list, but I guess the Sunblood is part of the synergy going on? If so, I'd maybe look for something that can make him more durable, like a Gryph-Feather Charm from Ghur (-1 to hit him, +1 move) or maybe a Ignax's Scales (4+ ignore MW), depending on what you're more affraid of. If his role is more of a get in and beat down people, I'd probably look into more offensive artifact, at which point your Prism of Amyntok might be just fine.

    That sounds like just the kind of offensive artifact I would take if that's what I wanted my Sunblood to do!

    It's really pretty awesome, it makes him pack a sneaky punch. With 5 attacks hitting on 2s, exploding on 5s, and wounding on 2s, exploding into d3 damage on 5s... I've definitely taken some people by surprise

    However, that MW protection sounds pretty awesome too, it's really his one defensive weakness.
