So without Saurus to act as my anvil OR hammer in a 525 game, this is what I came up with as an all comers list. Skink Priest lvl 2 22+2 Skrox 2x 5 Chameleons Salamander + snack (don't have the book in front of me, so replace 1 unit of chameleons with a cohort or something if I'm over) Questions: 1) Can a Skrox work as a cleanup crew for this list? Idea was to deploy them back (maybe wide for shots > ranks before charging/getting charged) and let my priest (hopefully) and shooters run around and wittle things down. Salamander can act as a support charge when Skrox are engaged. 2) Would swarms be better? Or a 40 block of skinks to just hold tight? Thanks guys!
Thank you for the advice! I'm not too worried about the priest running around alone, but I might use a cohort or skirmish squad to tuck him in. The issue I was having was that 40 skinks was roughly the same cost as 20 + 2 skrox. That's a net loss of like 14 wounds. Could also get a pretty ugly stand and shoot on anything that charged them But I've never used a skrox before, so its time to see how they work as a cleanup crew
