    Chief /w BSB

    3 kroxigor
    (2 priests and BSB here)

    20 TG
    Full Command
    War Banner

    9 Camo skinks
    Stalker

    How do you guys feel about this list? At 1500 points no one is going to be taking away the steadfast from the horde. The plan being to grind everyone down with my immovable SkroxBox and TG unit, while the cowboy does his thing and the terradon chief goes and plays with war machine crews / rear charges something. Camos are there to be annoying / kill war machines and monsters.

    I could shelve the TG for more saurus bodies but S5 will help crack things the skinks can't (my kroxigors can never seem to hit when you need em to...).

    This looks pretty balanced, will all bases well covered (depending on local meta). I really like your choice of core, as mine mimics it very closely. My only query then is for a dispel scroll - can you fit it?

    Seems like one of the more solid Death Star lists out here, because you will be playing at 1500 you will not have to worry as much about spells that would kill your Star, Dwellers would be the death of that unit. Still, there are some(notably WE, HE and Empire lists) that run lvl4 wizards in 1500 P with spells that could kill that unit, so i would also try to invest in a scroll. I would cut a channeling staff at least for it, that item is only good on a slann with the proper Mastery. Also consider taking a GW for your cowboy, the +1 strenght offers you more then the +2 I that the halberd gives you. Also, try to give him a Dragonhelm for 1+ rerollable armour saves.

    Small note, do all your characters fit within the 25% hero limit? I doubt it.

    Thanks For the Feedback! I've amended the list slightly to include a scroll, and changed the teradon skink to include an egg of quango.
    My friends play at 50% lords and heroes , so I am able to take my heroes.

    I tried the list against an OnG army ( several blocks of black orcs, biguns, night gobs, trolls and 2 war machines) and it was quite successful. My chamos and heavens mage (with chain lightning) thinned down the black orcs and trolls significantly, then in combat my skrox went toe to toe with the remaining black orcs for big casualties on both sides, but I won and overrun. My TG got stuck following a unit of night goblins around the board and my cowboy got splattered by a lucky stone thrower. But The skrox were too numerous to be beaten in a 1v1 and he couldn't being his other units to bear.
