Hello! I'm new to AOS and will be playing whit my girlfriend's sister's boyfriend in a couple of weeks. He will be playing LON whit Mannfred as a general. His points are somewhere 960-980. Down below is what I have to play whit: Lord Kroak Slann Starmaster Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur (not fully assembled) Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (not fully assembled) Saurus Astrolith Bearer Saurus Knights x 8 Saurus Warriors x 12 Terradon Riders x 3 Should I convert one of the Saurus knights to a Scar-Veteran on cold blood and go whit the Oldblood on Carnosaurs? What's the best build for a 1k list whit the units above?
Welcome to Lustria. Allegiance: Seraphon - Mortal Realm: Ulgu LEADERS: Slann Starmaster (260) - General - Command Trait : Great Rememberer - Spell : Stellar Tempest Saurus Astrolith Bearer (160) Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur (240) - Artefact : Doppelganger Cloak UNITS: 5 x Saurus Knights (80) -Lances 10 x Saurus Warriors (90) - Clubs 3 x Terradon Riders (120) -Sunleech Bolas TOTAL: 950/1000 EXTRA COMMAND POINTS: 0 WOUNDS: 54 This list is a bit limited, it is pretty much your whole collection. My advice is to be aggressive with your Carno and not worry about it dieing. If you can trade if for Manfred you will be in a very strong position. Doppleganger's Cloak Should allow it to stay alive for 2 rounds of combat at minimum. As long as your Astrolith rolls a 3+ for each of your hero phases you will able to resummon a new Carno by the time the first ones dies. Best of luck.
Thanks and thank you for your answer and tips! I plan on expanding it either before I meet him or after. What do you recommend me to buy next? I was thinking about Skinks or another starter box but I'm open for tips.
Thanks, glad to be here! Okay, so skinks it is. Do you recommend Meteoric Javelin, Boltspitter or Moonstone Club? What's the next step after skinks if I'm building towards 1500 points?
Boltspitters and Starbuclkers for the vast majority. Normally 1/5th of the skinks I own I build as Jav and Buckler. My recommendation is to only start adding in javs after you own 40x Boldspitters.
