    So here goes:

    Hero:

    Skink Chief with
    Light armour
    Shield
    Javelins
    Dagger of Sotek

    Core:

    2 x 10 Skink Skirmishers
    19 x Skink Cohorts + musician + standard bearer

    Rare:

    2 x Salamander + extra handler (seperate units)

    The total sum of that is 501 points, and I know that the pple in my club wont make a point of that ;)

    I realise that this list lacks defense. No mage for dispelling (allthough spells shouldnt be a big problem at 500 points) and the best armor save is 5+. Not to mention all that T2 models. It is a quite mobile force though, with alot of poisoned stuff flying around :p

    Tell me what you guys think about it.

    At 500 points, I would drop a unit of skirmishers and add a unit of chameleons. I know that makes them expensive, but I think it would be worth it to get the scouts into your opponents back field.

    I may be wrong but can't you only have 15% of army points in your rares, meaning that you'd have to drop one sallie and both extra handlers?

    Ah yes too many points on Rare choices, it cant be up to 25%. So basically scratch a Sallie, add 10 Skink skirmishers or 6 Chameleons and 2 Skinks for in the Cohort. Ill go with chameleons, because they can help kill warmachines which wont have a hard time nuking the Skink Cohort.

    you could also use the points from the sally to get a kroxigor in that big cohort, might be nice to have some high strenght attacks at your disposal.

    didn't you think about a L2 priest instead of the chief. I know, he's more expensive, but can be very nasty in small games at the same time he gives you a better dispel chance against others.
