    Hello,
    There will be a Tournament near my city with quite funny rules, which are: 700 point Army, no Lords, Max 2 Heroes, maximum point cost of a Hero is 125, it also counts for single models, max 1 warmachine, chariot, max 2 same core units, and no BSB. So i though of a Funny list.

    Hero:
    Skink Priest with Plaque of Tepok and Ironcurse icon

    Core:
    2x10Skink Skirmisher
    20xSaurus Warriors HW+S FCG
    10xskink Kohort

    Special:
    5xChemelon skinks

    Rare:
    Salamander+extra skink

    I'm thinking that with no BSB Iceshard blizzard+Salamander can be quite effective:) Also with no Hydra due to point limitations, I don;t need a flaming attack Hero. I also decided to not go for DS, but ad an extra Spell:)

    What do you think?

    Cheers,

    I like it but, I would put less skink skirmishers, or none at all. And use the points to bulk up the chameleon unit or cohorts unit.

    Hello,
    Thank you, but I don't have more chameleons, in fact I had to convert mine from Skink champions, and I don't like to proxy things... Are Skirmishers that bad? I think they are very Good for 70 points, especially with fire on the march:)
    Cheers,

    Skirmishers aren't bad, Chamo's are just better. ;)

    What is the role of the ranked Skink unit? Seems like alot of points for very little use at 700.

    I think you may suffer from the low leadership on your sallies and skinks with no Saurus general. With 175 points of hero allowance and the tournament restrictions you could concievably squeeze this setup in:
    Scar-Vet - Light Armor, Great Weapon, Dragonhelm
    Skink Priest - Lvl 1

    As you said the Iceshard Blizzard is a quite usefull spell, so not having two spells may not matter all that much compared to having a str 7 Ld 8 general.

    Thank you !!!!
    I Just saw the Players list and there are 3 VC players, so there is a possibility of a lot of Etheral to engage So i had to throw in a Scar Vet:) So The list goes as follows:

    Hero:
    Scar Vet General
    -La
    -Shield
    -DragonHelm
    -Warrior Bane(just for magic Attacks)

    Skink Priest
    -naked:D

    Core:
    2xSkink skirmish

    19xSaurus Warriors with Standard and Music

    Rare:
    2xSalamander with 2 extra skinks.

    perfect 700 poitns.

    Looks good, though I would make two minor changes:

    1. The Warrior Bane is pretty horrible, I would trade the Dragonhelm+Warrior Bane for a Sword of Striking.

    2. Trade one of the skirmisher units and a sally snack for 6 Chamo Skinks, you won't be dissapointed.

    There is a limit either 1 Rare or 1 Special. And there is a limit of 1 war machine so i went for 2 salamanders.
    Well The Warrior bane is just for magic attacks, and with Dragoonhelm I have a 2+ sv so I think I will keep it.
    I bet i will forget about discardig attacks its just a precaution againts etherals:)
