So, my friend recons he has 6000 points of empire and suggested we take a day out and have a massive game. I've not played a game this size before so I was wondering what people think of this army list (I haven't worked on magic items or anything yet - was just wondering what people thought of the army) Lords Lore Of Life Slann Lore Of Light Slann Oldblood of Carnosaur Heros Saurus Scar Vet on Cold one (in the cold one unit) Saurus scar vet on foot (in the TG for challenges) Skink Chief on foot (in one of the skink units) Skink Chief of Terradon (in the terradon unit) EotG Skink Priest on foot (in one of the skink units) Skink priest on foot (in one of the skink units) Core 30 Saurus HW/S 30 Saurus HW/S 30 Saurus Spears 10 Skink Skirmishers 10 Skink Skirmishers 10 Skink Skirmishers 10 Skink Skirmishers 10 Skink Skirmishers 10 Skink Skirmishers 6 Jungle Swarms (more because I haven't used them in 8th edition and the points cost isn't too much in this game for something that is largely a "waste") Special 10 Kroxigor 4 Terrordons (my maximum unfortunately) 30 Temple Guard Stegadon Rare 3 x Salamanders with extra handlers. Suggestions will be much appreciated, includeing what magic items people would suggest. With the exception of Terrordons I have lots of spare models so can probably fit in anything people might suggest.
i would definetley take more saurus units! probably 4 blocks core and 2 blocks of TG, assuming you have them. some chameleons would be good to take out at least some of thier war machines. more salamanders and stegadons would be good too actually.... does what you've listed even get close to 6000 points? seems really little
I thought that too but it does. Because I can't give actual costs here is a "rough guide" based on each section Lords 1300 (including lee-way for magic items and disciplines) Heros 1000 (including lee-way for magic items) Core 1850 Special 1200 Rare 500 Total 5850 (note I know these figures don't exactally add up, but unsure what is and isn;t allowed and thought I'd er on the side of caution) Actually, just gone over and seen I forgot to put in the Ancient Stegadon too. Chameleon skinks - knew I'd forgotten something. Also should point out that all units that can have standard/champ/musician So, more Saurus - would you drop some skinks or something from the special/char section?
