    Hello All,

    Playing a game vs my mates Gitz/Trolls.

    Looking to take the following list:

    LEADERS
    Skink Starpriest (80)
    Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (240)
    - War Spear

    UNITS
    20 x Skinks (140)
    - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers
    20 x Skinks (140)
    - Meteoric Javelins & Star Bucklers
    3 x Kroxigor (150)
    - 1 x Moonhammers
    3 x Skink Handlers (40)
    3 x Razordons (120)

    BEHEMOTHS
    Bastiladon (280)
    - Weapon : Solar Engine

    I am very new to the game so just built this list around models I have painted. What concerns me a bit I was looking at his army an most of them have loads of wounds and regenerate.

    I was thinking of using star priest to summon more skinks and possibly my salamanders?

    I do have the following in reserve/painted if I want to change up the list

    Loads more Skinks with bolt spitters and Javelins
    Salamanders x 3
    Knights x 5
    Warriors x 10

    Any feedback and advice? I do have a 2nd getting starter box and Stegadon which I am building as an Engine. Also have a Slann but he seems to expensive for this list.

    Only Slann are able to summon. If you want to summon you will want to fit one into your list.

    So I played the above list and by turn two.. I should have just packed up.. between my opponents hot rolls, having bad moon land 'exactly' where he needed it.. making every single charge.. I got tabled.

    Kroxigors got smacked in one combat turn - didn't even get to swing
    Carnasaur lasted 3 rounds engaged - did not land anything worthwhile
    Razadorns did ok though he did target my handlers.. right away
    Bastiladon last a few rounds but did not do much.

    What I got out of this defeat:

    • Bolt Spitter Skinks is where it's at.. they didn't do a lot of damage but they tied up a few units.
    • Javelin Skinks - I should green stuff the javelins to bolt spitters..
    • Skink Star Priest - did not do much. Did get surrounded by those hopping squigs and got smacked hard.
    • Third time playing Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur and 3 times he has not done anything to justify the point cost.
    Hot tip: don't present your list up front a week before game... :/


    And Slann - Slann - Slann - every single list I see him.. no matter the point level always has a Slann..
    I have one but not painted - and I don't like to play with grey models..

    Looks like I am putting my Engine on hold and painting a slann :/
