    This list is for a turniment coming up monday

    Old Blood 287
    GW

    Aura of Quetzl
    crown of comand
    cold one

    Priest 90
    Scroll

    Salamander 80
    Snack

    5 chameleons 60

    5 chameleons 60

    10 skinks skirmishing 70

    20 saurus
    standard


    20 saurus
    standard
    musican
    Total 1197
    Heres the plan, going to run up sam and start hacking away at the enemy. The chameleons will take down any war michines then hassle other units. Then saurus will march them selves up and start pulverizeing anything not dumb enough to flee. The sallys will flame anything they can find. The skinks I have there just as a point filler and cannon fodder.

    Any thoughts or critisism welcome and thank you to the guy who enlightened me of the saurus lord known as slippery sam

    On big ole' Sammy, Glittering scales is light armour, so you cant have light armour and Glittering scales. Other than that its a nice tough list. Good anti magic is a must at tournys :D

    Ran this through army builder....


    Well you can't have light armor and magic armor, so no light armor,
    not that he needs it he's still got a 1+ save and -2 to hit in close combat.
    well you still have a few points left on his allowance.
    the crown on command wouldn't be a bad choice. ;)

    Ps. you can have the shield and greatweapon, but you can only use the shield against ranged attacks.

    You can find more information about Army Builder here:
    http://www.wolflair.com/index.php?context=army_builder

    It is a good program. However, there are a lot of mistakes that are small and not easy to find if you are not looking for them. One example is the War Banner (+1 to combat rez) is listed as 25 points when it should be 35. Also, there is no way for you to add a magical item to a units champion (i.e. gold sigil sword to a saurus champion). I am sure that there are other minor things as well. The reason that there are so many errors is that the data file updates are completed by volunteers. The company does not handle the updates (I would assume for legal reasons).

    The software is about $40 (US) for the initial install. AFter the first year, it is only $12 (US) to continiue getting updates. It more than pays for itself within the first few months. Just watch your lists in the meantime.

    That's because the only champion in our army that has and item allowance is the temple guard champ and he can only have on thing.

    As a rule Chapions can't take extra euqipment unless they have some special rule.
    The Temple Guard have such a rule. Otherwize you just get the basic champion upgrade.

    Basicly the way the rules are writen unless it says you can do somethin you can't.

    slippery sam is a horrible idea because it does not matter if they can hit you or not. They still are steadfast and the old blood cant dish out enough wounds for him to brak his infantry opponet. For the points your paying for him you can get a perfectly good slann.


    tryed 3 games with him and he never won combat once and fled twice in one game while being stubborn.
