AoS 1000 - 1250 - 1500 growing list

[VVolfsong]

A few friends and myself are having a fun little escalation campaign where we start off at 1k and then add another 250 points after every two battles.

So for that purpose I put together the following lists using the Koatl's Claw constellation.

1000 points
1 x Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur (General with Dominant Predator and Eviscerating Blade) (230)
1 x Saurus Scar-Veteran on Cold One (110)
1 x Skink Starpriest (120)

10 x Saurus Warriors (90)
10 x Saurus Knights (200)
5 x Saurus Knights (100)
4 x Salamander Hunting Pack (110)

Bound Ravenak's Gnashing Jaws (40)
---
Total points: 1000

I'm a little limited based on what models I have available, so it is not the most optimal list ever created. I have won both starting games at 1k though, so it can't be all bad either ^^

Suggestions for growing past 1500 are welcome.

Edit: Updated the lists for the new GHB2020 point costs.

you're probably going to need a slann past 1500 if not at 1500 if you have one. the salamanders are maybe best used in minimum units as in coalesced they battle shock really badly

Nice tip on the Salamanders. Splitting them up will also give me more options to hold objectives without leaving behind a large portion of my damage. I've updated the lists with that suggestion.

I do own a Slann, and conveniently I have 10 points leftover in my 1500 list, so I do have exactly 260 to spend when going up to 1750 =)

However, if I drop the skinks to free up another 60 points, I could grab Lord Kroak instead. From what I've read people seem to favor him any time they can over a Slann?

I don't actually have the model for Lord Kroak yet, but my friends won't mind me proxying with my Slann should I decide to try him.

If you dont have guards in your list, finding the 60 points extra for kroak is worth it. It may be hard to ise all of his casts but i suppose and arcane bolt and mystic shield arent that bad. Kroak has a 4+ after save which makes him a lot more survivable
