So I'm thinking of going to a 5 battle tournament. The tournament has different army composition though. The army has to be composed in the following way: No Lords Maximum 250 points in Heroes Minimum 400 points in Core Maximum 400 points in Special Maximum 100 points in Rare Maximum 30 models per unit, to a maximum 250 points per unit. The tournament will also be using objectives and stuff. This requires me to bringbanners and at least one champ. So here is what I got now: Heroes: Saurus Scar-Veteran Great Weapon Armour of Destiny Skink Chief BSB Lustrian Javelin Light Armor Shield Talisman of Preservation Core: 20x Saurus Warriors, Full Command 20x Skink Cohort, Musician, Standard Bearer 10x Skink Skirmisher Special Bastiladon Solar Engine 4x Ripperdactyl Riders Comes to exactly 1000 points: 250 in Heroes, 440 in Core, 310 in Special. The tournament is also looking to get mostly soft to semi soft lists. I was planning on doing a full skink list, but I found that the restrictions of 250 points/30 models combined with the 400 minimum in Core is pretty tough on Lizardmen. I could go full skirmisher/cohort but that would bring the power level up in my opinion. Plus I would have to paint alot of skinks. I added the Saurus Warriors for some punch and a good spot for my Scar-Veteran to sit in. I am also trying to minimize the painting, with that list I would only need to paint a Scar-Veteran on foot, the Skink Chief and 3 Rippers. What do you guys think?
I don't get the Bloodstorm comment If you're going for a semi soft list, you've nailed it. I don't see anything that screams, "Death to all who oppose me!!!" except maybe the Scar-Vet. I don't have faith in Skink Cohorts without Krox, but that's just my preference. I suspect the Rippers will have a hayday in a small game like this one though. Place your blot toad carefully and put them on the board last if you can.
(Mini) Bloodstorm is the name of the event, basically its 1k points with the change in composition. 5 battles in one day on a 4x4 board. And yea the Scar-Vet is the toughest thing in the list, but I think I'll need some sort of can opener. I agree, I would like to add a Kroxigor to the skinks but that means I would have to find 50 points somewhere else. I could perhaps drop the skink BSB?
Dear Qupakoca, if you want a bloodstorm you can get one Also I have a similor idee what I am going to play, here is my post about the armylist I was thinking to take, http://www.lustria-online.com/threads/1000pt-tournement-with-restrictions.15991/ But I proberbly will take a normal steg because its awesome, also I will take an krox now because I like the model. But its a 1 day tournement so you can drive back after the day or is alcohol something important? Greatings
Well I'm from Belgium and I dont have my drivers license yet So I can't drive there. None of my buddies that can drive are interested in going to so for now its just me thinking of going.
I think a BSB would be more valuable. I dunno though, the S7 attacks are nice too. Definitely a tough choice there.
