Hi! Im attending a special quarantine tournament (only 2 persons at the same place but swiss matchup and fixed lists for 5 games). Im up against deepkin with my fangs of Sotek skink heavy list. Need advice
My list Kroak Starseer Starpriest x2 Skink priest Terradon chef 40 skink x2 10 skink 12 salamander h pack 9 terradon Bound geminidis Vortex I think his list will be something like: Volturnous Turtle Some mage Wave surfer 3x2 Defense eels 6 off eels 3 off eels 10 archers
ok so with your list being shooting you aren't going to be able to choose your targets so LoSaT will be very important so will good spacing you don't want the eels to just jump your lines. i would focus on killing the offensive eels and volturnous first but really your going to be shooting whats ever closest (darn IDK) hit the heros with comets and just keep pilling on the mortal wounds
Thanks for the advice! The battleplan is starstrike and we also play with some hidden agendas. As you say, the teleport must make a mark. Hopefully the terradons can nuke something too not needing to follow Target restrictions with their stones. Being starstrike, maybe I should turtle up and not advancing assuming I get the first turn? My Magic dominance and mw supplies can hopefully give me some edge.
he will out drop you but thats not uncommon for us so you don't know if you're going first or not. but you have way more bodies and that counts for a lot just don't let him nuke your heroes
Screen well with your Skinks. Don't let his eels get into your Terradons or Kroak. If you can make him drop is mws on the skinks then you have a good shoot at swinging back hard enough to cripple him. Starstrike doesn't really start till turn two. So wait to see how the table will develop unless you get a good opening.
Yes, he had 9 drops so he may choose. But im guessing he gives the turn to me. Deepkin likes double turns. His actual list: Volturnous Soulscryer Aspect of the sea (with the cloak of midnight) 10 thralls 10 reavers 6 morrsarr guard 3x2 ishlaen guard Leviadon
That was my thoughts too. No need to rush in starstrike. I think terradons are the potential stars being able to drop one target outright. He needs to come to me and kroak loves msu-opponents approaching .
Time for an update. I played the game a few days ago and I won! I deployed the whole army exept 10 skinks behind a double screen of 40×2 skinks. The skink units were placed so that he could only fight the first unit unless it got wiped. He also could fit for charging or piling in between the units. He decided to go first. Afterwards explaining that he tried to get board precense and also tried to strike before my buffs were activated (I also lacked starting cp). He managed to hit my lines fiest turn with 6 attack eels, 3 defense eels, leviadon and volturnous. The 40 first skinks were wiped but only one from the second row fell. In my turn I managed to kill all those units eccept half defense unit. 2 succesfull kroak spells and geminidis hit them all. Volturnous was killers by terradon rocks and the salamanders and skinks shoot and hacked the remains. Despite not winning any initiave rolls I had cleared the board by the end of turn 3. We literally spitts Mortal wounds now.
Great job! We have so many lists that can win 3 round tournaments, but so far skinks seem to be the only things that can go the distance in 5 rounders.
LizardWizard: Thanks! Jason839: I have seen some guys having great success with tempelhost double bastilodons paired with some salamanders, skinks and Kroak. My list lacks starting cp and have many drops. But you can't have it all.
