    Hi folks, I'm up for my first singles tournament in a while, a few weeks from now. The Skink-based list below is pretty much based on all the models I have available, so there's no real scope for model changes, and I have no illusions about competitive tournament play. However I'd be grateful to know what looks good or bad or just plain weird. More thoughts after the list.


    Slann - Becalming Cogitation, Reservoir of Eldritch Energy, Obsidian Amulet, Ruby Ring of Ruin

    Skink Priest, Lore of Beasts - Level 2, Dispel Scroll

    Skink Chief - Battle Standard Bearer, LA, Enchanted Shield, Egg of the Quango.
    Rides Stegadon w Unstoppable Stampede & Sharpened Horns


    24 Skinks + 3 Kroxigor - Full command, Poisoned attacks

    22 Skinks + 2 Kroxigor - Full command, Poisoned attacks

    10 Skink Skirmishers - javelin & shield


    20 Temple Guard - Full command

    5 Cold One Cavalry - Full Command, spears


    Salamander Hunting Pack
    Salamander Hunting Pack

    Ogre Thundertusk (Allies via tournament rules)


    - The BSB on Stegadon is a risky one - one cannon shot and he's gone. If I can avoid this, I do like the idea of the 18" BSB bubble, and his 2+ AS allowing the Egg of the Quango to go off on the charge. At the end of the day, the BSB and Steg will cost the same if they're fielded separately, so that's an option.

    - The Slann's disciplines, plus Drain Magic and a Dispel Scroll, should make for some good anti-magic. Not sure that they'll cope with everything in 2500 pt opposing armies, we'll see.

    - It would be nice to claw back 30 points somewhere for another CO Cavalry.
