Slann - Naked - Lore Master Life Slann - Naked - Lore Master Death Chief BSB on Ancient with War Spear (18" inspiring presence!) 25 Saurus with Spears (Death Slann goes here) Idea is to get unit into combat Slann casting Purple Sun and sniping characters along the way. Unit of TG right behind offering buffs and Life Bloom support. 25 Saurus with Hand Weapon/Shields 20 TG (Life Slann) 18 Skinks / 2 Krox 10 Skinks Blow-Pipes
huh, That looks like a really interesting (if unorthodox) list. Death is great, but in our gaming group, The sun of doom is banned. Regardless sniping out the threat of a challenge on your slann unit. My only concern is running them both naked, and Purple sun having such a high casting value, blowing yourself to hell. I think if i had another slann I'd love to try it!
I've found that Life and Shadow complement each other well. Toughen up your own forces, while crippling theirs- on a good magic phase, you can make combat basically unwinnable for the opponent. Not to mention what happens when you lower their strength by D3, then hit them with Dwellers...
I was thinking the same thing after creating this post. Plus I can Steed the Slann out if there looks like there is going to be trouble. My thought with the Lore of Death was that the Death Slann could potentially be creating more Power Dice for the Life Slann. That and it just sounds cool to have the Life and Death Slann combo plate.
I did pretty much the same list at 2400 points and it did very very well. The extra dice you generate from death makes death more friendly to use, though I would recommend making one ethereal (the death one) and one rumination. You don't need loremaster to be super-effective, you do however need power dice. Soemthing rumination will give you even on bad magic phases.
just a quick notice. a skink chief cannot be both a BSB and the army general. if you want to cast what spell you want, you will have to give your slann focus of mystery. othervise you pick spells randomly, and so you can´t cast whatever spell you´d like to. just saying.
You are correct about the Skink not being General, my Slann of Life will be the general. The 18" inches inspiring presence is the range from the Battle Standard Bearer that LD checks can be re-rollable.
