My buddy is finally upgrading his beastmen army to 1500 points so now I get to use more of my lizards (well what I have) I am quite excited. We are going to play a match some time this week or possibly the weekend. Okay well he is my list up for shredding. Heroes: Scar Vet - 144 Cold One, Light Armor, Maiming Shield, Spear Skink Priest - 405 Lvl 2, EotG, Plaque of Tepok Core: 18 Saurus Warriors - 234 Spears, Standard, Musician 18 Saurus Warriors - 234 Spears, Standard, Musician 12 Skink Skirmishers - 84 16 Skinks - 190 w/ 2 Kroxs Special: 5 Cold Ones - 205 Standard, Musician TOTAL - 1496 Please keep in mind, my army is still growing and I haven't gotten around to buying a unit of temple guards yet nor any salamanders or Razordons. My oppenent does not use magic and I was hoping that my priest and his EotG will be able to get some devastating magic attacks on his minotaurs and possibly his gors (I know he will have 2 units of at least 3 minotaurs, possibly 4 in each unit) He will probably also have about 3 herds of gors, with one possibly ambushing, and a unit of centigors. Im hoping that my cold ones will be able to make due of his centigors. Also, i plan on having one unit of saurus attack a unit of his minotaurs possibly with a flank charge while the unit of skinks w/ kroxs holds it in the front. I am also hoping that my skirmishers will get good rolls and deal a decent amount of damage to some herds of his. My battle plans are still in the development phase, but I believe I am on the right path to victory... hopefully...
Poison is your friend, I would try to fit in some more skink skirmishers. Kroxigors aren't very good against Beastmen because minotaurs are so much better. Terradons might also be worth looking into. You might be able to actually outshoot Beastmen and use the magic phase to your advantage. Use his low leadership against him. Fear and terror are your friends, as well as panic checks. Best of luck! I like the Beastmen btw. Hopefully you guys have some fairly matched, fun games!
So I've come up with two lists because I had the time. This first one is heavy shooting and magic. A couple melee units to try to win a combat here and there. Scar Vet - 144 Cold One, Light Armor, Maiming Shield, Spear Skink Priest - 405 Lvl 2, EotG, Plaque of Tepok Skink Priest – 145 Lvl 2, Cloak of Feathers, Power Stone Core: 18 Saurus Warriors - 234 Spears, Standard, Musician 11 Skink Skirmishers – 77 10 Skink Skirmishers – 70 10 Skink Skirmishers – 70 10 Skink Skirmishers – 70 Special: 5 Cold Ones – 195 Standard 3 Terradons - 90 TOTAL – 1500 This one is more melee and shooting but has the EotG to get few spells off. Scar Vet - 163 Cold One, Light Armor, Shield, SoSR Skink Priest - 405 Lvl 2, EotG, Plaque of Tepok Core: 18 Saurus Warriors – 234 Spears, Standard, Musician 15 Saurus Warrios – 195 Spears, Standard, Musician 10 Skink Skirmishers -70 10 Skink Skirmishers -70 10 Skink Skirmishers -70 Special: 5 Cold Ones – 195 Standard 3 Terradons - 90 TOTAL – 1495 Advice is greatly appreciated. I really want to make sure the Beastmen know their place in the world.
