Hear I have a 1000point army of lizerdmen was wondering whether to put in some kroxigor and turn a unit into normal skink's and work with that but can't decide Lord's and Hero's Skink Priest: Level 2 = 100pts Core Skink Skermisher's x20: None = 140pts Skink Skermisher's x20: None = 140pts Skink Skermisher's x20: None = 140pts Skink Skermisher's x20: None = 140pts Skink Skermisher's x20: None = 140pts 100 skink's in total Special Terradon Rider's x3: Brave = 100pts Terradon Rider's x3: Brave = 100pts Total 1000pts
Your movement phase would take forever with that many skirmishers. Not to mention they'd wind up with little room to maneuver, which is the main strength of skirmishers anyway. So if the enemy has anything with speed and armor, he can break one unit and cause massive panic checks. Basically any army that has psychology and/or armor will laugh at that kind of skink horde. Another note, never take braves on your terradons, as it is rather pointless. Pretty one dimensional army, but if those are the models you have...
One of my friend’s down games-workshop who I play against that uses a skaven army this is for the soul purpose for betting him and with a movement of 6 and that many numbers I think that I'll be running circles round them each BS3 carrying a blowpipe I do however see what you mean about heavily armoured army's and how they could win because I can't get rid of heavy weapon's but if I did this what do you think Lord's and Hero's Skink Chief: Blow Pipe, Shield, Talisman of Protection 80pts Core Skink's (x24): Kroxigor x3 285pts Skink Skermishers (x20) Javelin and Shield x5 145pts Skink Skermishers (x20) 140pts Skink Skermishers (x20) 140pts Specal Terradon Rider's 150pts Chameleon Skinks 60pts do you think thats better
What do you mean by this mate? It seems that you want to give 5 out of the 20 skinks javelins and shields. If that's the case then I'm going to have to dissapoint you and say that that would be illegal; the whole unit has to be equipped with the same weapons. So it would be 160pts for 20 javelin Skinks or 140pts for 20 blowpipe Skinks.
