Greetings Folks, It has been a while since I posted. Life has gotten in the way of things, but everything has smoothed out now. As such, and with the new army book out, my Lizards are coming out of Hibernation. Here is the army list I have. Any suggestions would be great. I dont have any of the special characters so I am going off what I have right now. Heroes Saurus Scar-Veteran Burning Blade of Chotec Maiming Shield Light Armour Skink Priest Level 2 Upgrade Dispel Scroll Diadem of Power Core 20x Saurus Warriors Champion Musician Standard Bearer 12x Skink Skirmishers Hand Weapon Blowpipe 12x Skink Skirmishers Javelins Shields Special 5x Cold One Cavalry Champion Musician Rare 1x Salamander Hunting Pack This ends up being 1000 points even. Thank you for this wonderful site. I hope to be able to participate in discussions more now that life is evened out and settled down.
Thats a pretty solid list. i suggest is getting rid of diadem of power on the priest. They nerfed it in the new book and you will probably be using all of your skinks power dice anyway. I find that I always do. It would be good with a slann tho. I would give him the plaque of Tepok. this way you are guaranteed to get a good spell from the priest. ( I hate rolling a 1 and 2 in lore of heavens. Also, I would give the scar-vet a shield. Good luck
I might swap out the Maiming Shield with the Shield of the Mirrored Pool. I'd rather have a 2+ to reflect magic missiles on the Scar-Vet rather than an extra attack at base strength of the Scar-Vet that doesn't benefit from the Burning Blade bonuses. Otherwise, I'd say maybe drop a couple of skirmishers from the Javelin unit to get another handler for your salamander. It might get you an extra turn after a misfire roll. 10 is still usually a good number for those skirmishers.
Ok. I have made the following changes to the list and am posting an updated list. Switched: The Maiming Shield for Shield of the Mirrored Pool Diadem of Power for Plaque of Tepok Removed: 2 Skinks from each group to put them at 10 total Added: 3 Saurus Warriors (makes 25 total models in the unit for when i put in priest and general) 1 Skink Handler with the Salamander So the list looks as follows now Heroes Saurus Scar-Veteran Burning Blade of Chotec Shield of the Mirrored Pool Light Armour Skink Priest Level 2 Upgrade Dispel Scroll Plaque of Tepok Core 23x Saurus Warriors Champion Musician Standard Bearer 10x Skink Skirmishers Hand Weapon Blowpipe 10x Skink Skirmishers Javelins Shields Special 5x Cold One Cavalry Champion Musician Rare 1x Salamander Hunting Pack w/ 4x Skink Handler any other suggestions are greatly welcome. I have a game with this list on Wednesday against either VC or Dwarf.
Do you have anymore salamanders? I think one doesn't cut it. Two should be alright in a 1,000pts. Do your saraus warriors have spears or hand weapons?
I wish I had another Salamander, but I only have one right now. Also, the Saurus have Hand Weapon and Shield. Would the spears be better now that they can have full attacks from the second rank?
I would deffinetly go with spears as they has become so much greater than before now that the predatory rule is gone...
