Slann Focus of Mystery - Lore of Light Focused Rumination Cupped hands of the old ones 21 Saurus + Banner + Musician 24 Saurus + Spears + Banner + musician 10 Skinks 10 Skinks + 1 krox + Banner + Musician 3 Terradons 2 Salamander Hunting Packs 2 Salamander hunting packs ---- 1499 I'd Like to give the Slann a little more gear but he's at 24.7% right now... I had to cut the champs off the saurus to make 1500... I've never been a fan of Musicians, I could lose 2 for an extra saurus. handy to have the swift reform on the skrox unt tho. Please leave comments/flaming criticisms.
heyya i think keep musicians and you NEED standard of dicipline you NEED it maybe change 21 saurus for 16 guard with full com and ironcurse icon???? not sure bout this one
Why do I need it? I intend on keeping this army in fairly close quarters to the slann (and his Ld 9 is quite sufficient with cold-blooded I've found).. I use an oblique order. That is: I like to deploy on one side (left flank is my fave) and rush up to defeat immediately opposing enemy units, then turn to defeat the remainder of his army in detail (one unit at a time). i like to use the Spear unit as my own flank defense while the sallys weaken threatening units. What I'm wondering about this list is: is it going to be weak to shooting (war machines)? I've got the Terradons, but should I try to squeeze a set of chameleon skinks? Also, should I try to put in a scar vet? I'd have to cut a bunch...
Does Pha's protection from the Lore of Light protect against cannons? It says "...Shooting attacks that do not use a ballistic skill must roll a 4+ on a D6 before firing or the shot is lost" but technically... do cannons actually TARGET a unit?
I was wondering the same thing about mortars and catapults. Furthermore, you do not need the standard of discipline. I use a life slann with rumination, mystery, BSB and a scroll in 1500 pts. This is because I've noticed that a BSB is needed and I have no points left for cupped hands so I take life. And you also don't have cogitation at this points level so a scroll is nice to have aswell. Cheers
Phas protection is used if the cannon will hit the target. Has been cleared up in FAQ if Im not misstaken. For example, if a stonethrower targets unit A, that do not have the spell on them, and then scatter 8" so that it hits target B, that have the spell on them, the stonethrower will roll the die for 4+ at that point to see if he was allowed to fire at all. It comes at the wrong time but it is as far as I know the way to play it.
