I'm nearly done my Start Collecting box, starting to play my first games and I want to be sure of what my army will be before I get to buying anything to expand my army. So I've been reading here and messing around by factoring in stuff like my own opinion on the model/playstyle and I came up with a list idea. Allegiance: Seraphon Slann Starmaster (260) - General - Trait: Great Rememberer - Artefact: Incandescent Rectrices Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur (280) - Artefact: Relic Blade Skink Starpriest (80) 40 x Skinks (200) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (60) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (60) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (60) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 6 x Ripperdactyl Riders (280) 3 x Kroxigor (160) 1 x Razordons (40) 1 x Razordons (40) Bastiladon (280) (Solar Ark) Shadowstrike Starhost (170) 1970/2000 I know Kroxs aren't the most viable unit, but I really like how they look. Basically the idea of this list would be to use the swoops to get rippers on heroes, while teleporting in Carn to deal with big stuff. Skink blob has Krox to protect them, small skink bands and razors can play objectives. I'm not really sure if this would work, so I'm looking for some feedback.
Decent list I think, can work. The Kroxigor are very threatening to hordes so if you position them right they can do good damage.
Take out 1skinks unit and add 2razodons. Then have 4razodons tp 11' enemy and shoot 2d6x4. I think razodons>krox(then u can take 4more). U cant have relict blade its order artefact and maybe can change starprist to skink prist reroll charge and save but u dont have Double bonus from jaws on 6wound.
Thanks for the advice, here's an updated list! Allegiance: Seraphon Slann Starmaster (260) - General - Trait: Great Rememberer - Artefact: Incandescent Rectrices Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur (280) - Artefact: Coronal Shield Skink Starpriest (80) 40 x Skinks (200) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (60) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (60) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 6 x Ripperdactyl Riders (280) 3 x Kroxigor (160) 2 x Razordons (80) 2 x Razordons (80) Bastiladon (280) Shadowstrike Starhost (170) Total: 1990 / 2000 Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 133 Gotta keep that starpriest tho.
Looks good, but I question the inclusion of kroxigors. They can be quite good vs. hordes indeed, but I think 4 razordons can be even deadlier, especially if you use that 160 points for an Astrolith Bearer. 8d6 attacks rerollable hits can generate an insane amount of saves! So I would switch the Kroxigors (160) for an astrolith bearer(160)! Otherwise seems solid!
