Hey folks. I'm debating trying my hand at WHFB again. I've been out of the game for... since before 7th was released. So what, a year or so? I had a brief foray into Daemons before porting them over to 40k. Of the armies I'm considering, the #1 is Lizards. Other ones are LD Bomb Slaanesh Daemons and Abyssal-lead VC. I figured I'd play an army that's still a contender... but not one of the top tier. 415 - Slaan: Mystery, Rumination, Bane Head, 2x Dispel Scrolls. 435 - Priest: Level 2, Engine of the Gods, Plaque of Tepok, Wardrums of Xahotec. 126 - Scar-Vet: Great Weapon, Shield, Light Armour, Charm of the Jaguar Warrior. 183 - 15 Saurus: Musician, Standard. 183 - 15 Saurus: Musician, Standard. 50 - 10 Skinks. 50 - 10 Skinks. 70 - 10 Skink Skirmishers. 70 - 10 Skink Skirmishers. 90 - 3 Terradons. 90 - 3 Terradons. 235 - Stegadon. 1997pts 9 Power, 1 Bound, Rumination. 6 Dispel, 2 Scrolls. 80 models. ... Tactics are pretty simple. Slaan will either join or hide behind/around Saurus. Generally refuse-flank with both Stegs on the flank. Skinks will redirect for Saurus. I'd consider dropping the Wardrums for BSB on the Slaan. Any thoughts before I start purchasing?
BsB is must , increases dramaticaly ur % to stay on any close combat (either u lose lot the fight or no) War drums on the other hand isnt bad , specialy on ur engine , is somethink ur oponents dont expect it so u can surpise them easily , with a march and the burning alignment. maybe is better to have ur hero on cold one so u can get 1 unit warriors immunity on fear and gife him sword of might or somethink similar (and bane head or carnosaur pendant).Also i think slan is a bit unprotected, u need divine plaque (drop the bane head from Slan) or make him ethereal, on tournaments u ll meet for sure a gun line (empire , dwarfs , dark elves ,skaven etc) u need protection on range attacks. My general view for ur list is that is good for 2k.
