Trying to make a "shooting" army. Anyone had any luck with 2-3 engines? Here's a list I'm toying with...

Slann Starmaster -Great Rememberer, Incandescent Rectrices
Skink Starseer
Engine of the Gods
Engine of the Gods

40 x Skinks -Blowpipes & Star Bucklers
40 x Skinks -Blowpipes & Star Bucklers
10 x Skinks -Blowpipes & Star Bucklers

3 x Razordons
3 x Razordons

Bastiladon - w/snakes
120 points for summoning (More Razors, Salamanders, Chameleons as required)


Potential to drop the skinks down to 3x10 for another Bastiladon but at this stage, I like the numbers for the enemy to wade through, and more shots in the double turn. With an effort, could also shift this into a heavenswatch.

Obviously aim for the double turn but I also like the idea of going for the d6 mortal wounds option. With a slann and starmaster engine rolls should be a little more predictable.

3 Engines could also be quite interesting too as one goes for the double turn while the others target heroes/elites with the d6 mortal wounds. Similar to razors, law of numbers means 3 of them should get you a double turn and potential for 3D6 mortal wounds (albeit unreliable).

Unlikely to be competitive but could be fun. Interested to hear thoughts!
 
Hmmmm...
I never even thought about using more than one engine. Could work.
 
I'd drop a razordon from each group and grab some handlers and an astrolith. I agree. I'd keep the skink blocks as is otherwise you wont have much of a body count
 
There was someone at the GT final who had a similar list and did pretty decent, think he got an extra turn in most if not all his games!
 
Interesting - Tweaked it a little, definitely going to be trying this:

Engine of the Gods - General, Master of Star Rituals, Coronal Shield
Engine of the Gods
Skink Starseer - Incandescent Rectrices
Skink Starpriest
Skink Priest -Priestly Trappings

40 x Skinks - Boltspitters
10 x Skinks - Boltspitters
10 x Skinks - Boltspitters
3 x Razordons

Bastiladon w/Laser
Bastiladon w/Laser

Heavenswatch Starhost

I know a slann would help the engines (and the list) immensely but imtrying to keep it all skink themed. Will finish painting my second engine and give it a shot and see if it has potential
