The easy answer to your question is the same reason why you're taking saurus in the first place. If you wanted something tougher than skinks take...
I use it pretty often on a 55 point night goblin warboss. 155 for a level 2 wizard, who's T4 W3 isn't that bad of a deal. Especially when...
I would always let my opponent use the chiefs BS on a steggadon. Because, it means he just dropped 255 points minimum to run something other than...
You could do a temple guard who's carrying a skink. Said skink could be sharpening a halberd.
While it depends on the opponent, a old blood with Piranha Blade is on par with a Red Fury + ASF + Ogre Blade Vampire Lord when going up against...
That last line was posting help from my 2 year old. Got to love it. -Matt
Gor Rok is solid at 185. He's got +1 toughness, 2+ armor, ignores killing blow, heroic killing blow and multiple wounds special rules on a 2+,...
Does that mean if I fill the front rank of a cohort unit with skink chiefs, you can't attacks the krox? -Matt
Look at it this way, if special rules in army books over-ruled the BRB then Lizards would be one of the worst armies. A block of saurus would get...
Yes, we're reading what you are saying. Basic vs advanced only comes into play when the rules are in conflict. The BSB says to IGNORE special...
It's a beast, that's for sure. But I'd be worried about the cowboys. Between Mangler Squigs, Fanatics and Doom Divers, you run a very real risk...
Nah, it's only 390. :D And, it works wonders on most opponents. -Matt
A unit within 6" of one or more solar engines gets +1 init. No, you can't get +2. Too bad really, it would open up some interesting builds. -Matt
Vanguarding is enemy dependent. Sometimes you'll want to move up salamanders, sometimes you'll want another support unit to pressure war machines;...
That's not that far off my fast list. Except I went with: Tehenhuin Tetto Eko Skink Chief, BSB, light armor, shield, banner of discipline Skink...
By starting off with the slaan, the rest of the army is pretty set. So, break the mold and don't take a slaan. Tetto packs a decent magic phase....
Re: 8 SKINK CHIEFS! 2000pt "army" Should be worthy of a comm It's doesn't matter how 10 chiefs rank up. Characters joining is model by model....
Re: 8 SKINK CHIEFS! 2000pt "army" Should be worthy of a comm Doesn't work. The Chief is on a 20mm base. Temple Guard are on a 25mm base. The...
I've run them in most of my games since the new book came out. Against most opponents, I deploy them in my center. With a general and BSB near,...
My unit of 6 deleted a unit of 24 Irondrakes. With Skirmish, T4, and the handler save, they are pretty durable to normal shooting. The thing...
