Lord: Oldblood HW Cold One RBoT MS Heroes 3xSkink Priests All Lvl 2 One with EotG All have DoP and a dispel scroll Core 24x Saurus Spears FC 12xSkink Skirmishers Javelins n Shields 12xSkinks Skirmishers Blowpipes Special 5xCoC FC War Banner Stegedon total is 1998 the reason i made this list is b/c so many ppl at my local GW play heavy magic armies and they keep crushing my CC lists simply b/c i dont have enough dispel scrolls and dispel dice Heavy magic means:lvl4, and 3 lvl 2s, with some really crazy bound spells if your gonna say take a slann, don't i have sworn off slanns and am sticking to Oldbloods, skinky mages.
i realize how truly awsome they are, however every time i test ran them using my buddies slann, they have failed me and have never given the amazing effects i have seen other player achieve, as such i never purchased the model. But i might consider buying one in the near future seeing as jow they became even better in the new book. (maybe it was just bad luck cuz i was using my friends model, i dunno but for now im sticking to my trusty Oldblood(who had never failed to do wat i need him to) i hope that answers your question. PS: i guess i exaggerated when i said "Sworn Off"
well i have no clue what RBoT and MS stand for but if DoP is the diadem you can only have 1/army like any other magic item
Revered Blade of Tzunki= RBoT Maiming Shield=MS and thx for pointing out the diadem thing, im a little careless with magic items sometimes.
Have you thought about the Shield of the Mirrored Pool on your Oldblood instead of the Maiming Shield? Sure, you lose 1 magical attack, but you do gain the ability to reflect all magic missiles aimed at you on a roll of 2+, which i'm surprised is missing from a list high in magic defence.
i had tried that previously, however i ended up taking damage from spells that are not classified as magic missiles, and plus i have a load of dispel dice and scrolls which have helped me keep my units safe. for example i played a dark elf player and his magic had the total effect of killing 1 skink but his stupid black guard and assassins ate my super expensive units of saurus with my general in it but i might try the shield against an army that has a crap load of power dice (tzeentch daemons)
slann will kill all of them get the first two disciplines and get cupped for your only magic items also get 30 temple guard so he does not die [i see a vision of complete slaughter] lol
