    Hi,

    I will play my first game next week against Ogre Kingdoms, and I don't know what of this lists would be better... He will play one IronBlaster for sure.

    Heroes

    Scar-Vet
    General
    Armor of Destiny
    Halberd


    Skink Priest
    Heaven LV2

    Core

    19x Saurus Warriors
    Full Command
    Scar-Vet here.

    11x Skink Skirmishers
    Blowpipes
    Skink Priest here.

    12x Skink Skirmishers
    Blowpipes

    Special

    5x Cold One Riders

    And here I have some problems because I don't know what would be better. I wanted to play an Stegadon. Then, I thought that Bastiodon with Solar Engine + x5 Chameleon Skinks OR 5x Cold One Riders more + 5x Chameleon Skinks could be better. All the combinations have the same points value, and I want to know what could be better versus Ogre kingdoms.

    Thank you!

    Note that I had to edit the individual points values out of your list. We can't even post points by Core/Special/Rare alone here. If you only one unit in Special and you say I spent XXX on Special, anyone can figure out what the per model cost of the unit is and GW is litigious.

    Any of the options you mentioned would work. I would personally not take a Bastiladon or Stegadon if you know you are facing an Ironblaster. I think more Cold One Riders with Chameleon Skinks would be a good investment. Cold One Riders have speed to deny Ogres their Impact Hits and they hit hard enough to put wounds on Ogres. Chameleon Skinks can do nice damage with their poisoned shooting on lightly armored Ogre units (most Ogre units are lightly armored)

    Some disagree with me on this, but rule of thumb is "If you are facing cannons take 2 or more large dinosaurs or take zero."

    Chameleons are also great against the Ironsky cannon!
