    Dear all,

    Do we think Shadowstrike can work at 1000pts? Ive not used it before and I would like advice on:

    1) The best units to take as the Shadowstrike
    2) What else to take alongside it.

    My initial thoughts are to go skink heavy, say two units of 20? Plus the chameleon skinks as a unit of 5 and rippers.

    Can three rippers take out characters reliably? If I use the swooping dive and the formation extra attacks and re rolls of 1 etc could I take out Drycha for instance? 10 wounds, 3+ save.

    I was thinking of taking a Bastiladon alongside it for some stability and long range poke.

    Cheers!

    Cheers chaps ill give it a try!

    How is that ripperdactyl Alpha Strike going to do against key targets? Clearly it will decimate normal infantry but how about big stuff?

    Going for heroes, pretty good, going against 10 wound or better models, requires a bit of help from the chameleons.

    Like @Bowser says Rippers will do a good job but back them up with Chamos, I now own 15 Chamos! and they are our best unit by far
