Hi all, I'm preparing a 2400 point tournament list for CanCon, an annual gaming convention held in Canberra, Australia. Here's my list of painted models: Slann Mage-Priest 72 Skinks (24 with blowpipes) 30 Temple Guard (2 command groups) 40 Saurus with spears (2 command groups) 6 Kroxigor 4 Terradons 16 Cold One riders (2 command groups) 2 Salamanders Ancient Stegadon Can you help me make a good list?
Re: 2400 Tournament Looks like you've got a double horde list. You run your big blocks of slann and TG and the max amount of skirmishers you can if they are comped. Try to distinguish one of your cold ones as a scarvet cowboy maybe and the same for a terradon egg chief. Also perhaps there could be a simple way to distinguish some of your blow pipe skinks as chameleons.
Okay, here's my first list using the models I have available Slann Channeling staff, Battle Standard Bearer, Standard of Discipline, Becalming Cogitation, Harmonic Convergence Lore of Light Skink Priest Level 2, Ancient Stegadon Lore of beasts 18 Skink Skirmishers 18 Skink Skirmishers 18 Skink Skirmishers 36 Saurus Warriors, Full Command 26 Temple Guard, Full Command 4 Terradon Riders 1 Salamander with extra skink 1 Salamander with extra skink I think my next move should be to get a skink priest on foot model, as well as some chameleon skinks.
I've done some more research, and I am ordering some more minis. Here's my latest list Slann Battle Standard Bearer, Standard of Discipline, Obsidian Amulet, Ironcurse Icon, Channeling Staff, The Focus of Mystery (High Magic), Reservoir of Eldritch Energy, The Becalming Cogitation, The Harmonic Convergence. Gor-Rok Skink Priest Lore of Beasts, Dispel Scroll, Opal Amulet 10 Skink Skirmishers with Lustrian Javelins 10 Skink Skirmishers with Lustrian Javelins 10 Skink Skirmishers with Lustrian Javelins 10 Skink Skirmishers with Lustrian Javelins 10 Skink Skirmishers with Lustrian Javelins 10 Skink Skirmishers with Lustrian Javelins 34 Saurus Warriors, Standard Bearer, Musician 24 Temple Guard, Standard Bearer, Musician, Revered Guardian with Gold Sigil Sword 4 Ripperdactyls Salamander with extra skink Salamander with extra skink Total 2391
Not sure if there is any comp at this tournament, but double check as you may be hurting yourself with Gor-rok (special characters) and too many skirmisher units. If so cohorts with musicians make decent chaff and you can free up a few more points. Otherwise the list is pretty solid as long as you play the avoidance game and try to poison down as many models as possible before you commit your big units; salamanders will help too. Best of luck to you and don't be disheartened if he gets to your units a little early they're both stubborn if Gor-rok is with the saurus and slann is in the TG.
