Hi, here's my first try at a 1000 pt army which will be facing dwarfs. I would really appreciate any suggestions so please tell me what you think Skink Priest w/ Plaque of Tepok Scar Veteran w/ Light Armor, Ench Shield, Burning Blade of Chotec, Dawnstone 17 Saurus w/ Std, Mus 17 Skinks w/ 2 Kroxigor, Std 10 Skink Skirmishers 10 Skink Skirmishers 6 Chameleon Skinks Salamander w/ extra snack Salamander w/ extra snack Total = 1000 pts I figured at the points level the Scar Veteran would be better as the General than as a standard bearer. Scar Veteran would be with Saurus unit, Skink priest w/ skirmishers. I was debating dropping the dawnstone to add two more saurus and running them as a 5x4 instead of 6x3, would that be better? less attacks per round of combat but more staying power
Hey Okaric, Against Dwarves, I agree with FlowinEnno that ironcurse icon would be a good investment for the scar vet- at minimal points it gives a 6+ ward save against war machines (applies to whole unit I believe). Also, it may be an idea to have two groups of chameleon skinks as you really want to get rid of their fire power asap. I think it would be better to have staying power with your saurus (HW/Sh) but that might just be personal preference. Just a tip, be careful where you place your rank-and-file troops (saurus and skrox) as if they're easy to hit, they will be killed rather quickly (assuming your opponent has at least a couple of bolt throwers or cannons). In deployment, place them last and try to put them out of sight from the warmachines if you can Other than that, it looks like a nice list. Good luck!
