Hi guys, Back at the (good) old days i always played an Oldblood list. I like it it fits my playstyle better then a slann. I hope to continue playing with that nasty combatlord. I have build a 2200 pts list and would like to receive some feedback or pure critisism, so i can tweak it...... Thanks in advance! Characters: Oldblood on carnosaur - SOM - ES - LA - glyph of warding 430 pts Scar veteran on Cold One - LA - Shield of the mirrored pool - spear (or magical weapon not sure.....) 144 pts Skinks priest - Scoll - Diadem 115 pts Skink Chief on stagadon - War spear 340 pts Totaal: 1029 pts on characters Core: 12x sauruswarrior with spear - musician - champion 162 pts 2x 10 skirmishing skinks 140 pts Special: 2x 3 terradon riders 180 pts Stegadon 235 pts 5x Cold One Riders - Standard bearer - War Banner 225 pts Rare: 2x salamander hunting pack 150 pts 1x salamander hunting pack 75 pts Totaal: 2196 pts units (incl characters) 10 PD 3 (do not need them) DD 3 of 5 (Is it enough?) Shoot please.....
Wondering what you thinking with a Sword of Might on your carno lord.. IMO I think something like the sword of the Hornet could be as good(thinking of you could get charged by flankers or other nasty suprises) I would maybe drop the single salamander and add in some extra saurus spears to get your ranks up a bit( something like a group of 15..) Otherwise, I think this list could do well.
I would also increase the CoK unit. If you use cavalry as heavy, and line breaking (as you are with command and the warbanner) you need to be able to absorb a few casualties and still hit very hard. Cavalry are tough, but a 2+ AS isn't invincible, there are a lot of things that can break it with ease and a lot of things with massed fire that will whittle it down. And a big scary unit of knights is a high priority target. 6 would be minimum for your unit, maybe even go with 7 or 8. Any beyond 6 sit in a second rank and do nothing but add numbers for combat res or die letting your unit still hit at full power. It is well worth it, 5 are just to easy to kill 2 of and leave the unit mostly useless.
Thanks for the replies guys! @ aparach: My thoughts were that i would have a str6 hitting lord. nothing more then that.... Maybe SotH is a good replacement for it, although str 5 for a lord is not that great imho.... --> The second Sallie is there pure for extra harrassement on a flank. I choose to play two units (1x 1 and 1x 2) instead of one, sow i would gain an unit with deployment..... It could be a good idea to drop the single sallie for some SW (and an extra SCOR) , so they can take some casualies and still be hard as nails. @ Strewart: Good idea. If i drop the singleton sallie i could buy one extra. That with the Scar-vet make it a nasty unit. And even more so, it will make the opponent choose between with shooting...I then have 4 viable targets (2 stegs a carnielord and this unit) Maybe i can take a the war spear and give the chief the war drum of xahutec. Everybody and his grandmother will expect the lance (why call it a "war-spear" for crying out loud) on the steg. hmmmm options.....i will post my altered list later.......
