Take a look at the list above.. Would it be better to ditch the basti and a unit of guard in place of a slann and an extra unit of flyers? Or maybe add a starseer just for lol's? What do you think?
I would never ditch the Basti, IMO it is one of our best units. Until magic is fixed a Slann isn't very powerful IMO. Wouldn't use it here.
Yeah your right. But arnt there game modes where I can only capture objectives with heroes. I suppose I could swap out 5 guard for another hero. Either that or swap a unit of chameleons and 5 guard for a unit of skinks and a second warden. But I feel like if your taking chameleons then take 10 right?
I would also love a starseer over a tank. but it's tough. I also don't necessarily need to take knights but I do like my knights and they come in handy for their movement.
If you have the option, more Guard would be better for you than the knights and 10 skinks. 10 more Guard will beef those squads up. You can rely on the Chameleon Skinks and deep striking Rippers to disrupt the backline and provide some objective "sneakiness." With 10 more Guard you can control the midfield with a bigger presence and staying power. If you did this, it would be almost identical to LordRibbit's list. He put up a great Batrep. Check it out! Also, as good as the Bastiladon is, it's dmg will be less reliable without rerolls from a formation or skink chief.
This is my list i took to the GT, very similar to yours! Personally I went for the oldblood on carno instead of the bastiladon, i think there's a lot more potential damage output and like to play a bit more aggressively Shadowstrike starhost (120) Skink priest (100) 3 x Rippers (140) 5 x chameleon skinks (120) 5 x chameleon skinks (120) Eternity starhost (80) 3 x 10 guard (600) Eternity warden (140) Phoenix stone Old Blood on Carnosaur (320) Quicksilver potion Starseer (160) Scar Vet on Cold One (100) Relic blade
