    Hey everybody :) This is my first post on Lustria, love the community so far.

    I'm starting an escalation campaign, first time playing Warhammer since 1999.

    I will be mainly facing: Skaven, Dwarves, High Elves, Warriors of Chaos - and also maybe some Wood Elves/Ogres.

    My initial list is as follows:

    -- Heroes --
    - Scar Vet (Cold One, Enchanted Shield, Halberd)

    -- Core --
    - 10 Skink Skirmishers
    - 15 Saurus Warriors with SB

    -- Special --
    - 3 Ripperdactyls

    This leaves me with about 35 points spare. Is this a good list? Any comments, criticisms, hints, or tips very welcome.

    Thanks guys :D

    Well.... One thing I see right away is your Scar-vet's gear. The Enchanted Shield is cool and all, but you'll get more mileage with Light Armor. A Halberd requires 2-hands to use, thus disallowing use of the shield in close combat. So while you're out riding around being shot at you'll have a nice 1+ save, but the second combat starts you're staring at a 3+. Light Armor would give you a 2+ either way.

    As for the remaining 35 points, throw in a few more Saurus. You can't go wrong there.

    Looks like an ok list with the points limit! Rippers will be fun in a small game like this for sure, haha.


    And welcome to L-O!!
