    Has anyone thought about running a duel Old One list?

    I just picked up the new book and plan on starting Lizardmen as my third army. My others are High Elf and Tomb Kings. As both of those are magic heavy and since I just don’t really love the fluff of the Slann, I was toying with the idea of running a duel old one list, supported by Skink priests.

    Old Ones are awesome. Almost as killy as a High Elf Prince, at least as durable as a Tomb King. 60 points isn’t too much to pay over the scar vet to get +1 WS, Wound, Attack, and AS.

    The base of the list would be

    Old One – General
    4+ ward Armor, Pariah Blade, Shied.

    Old One on Cold One
    Stegadon Helm, 4++ Talisman , Halberd.

    Heroes

    Scar Vet (BSB)
    Dragon Helm, Light Armor, shield, Dawnstone.

    Skink Priest w/dispel scroll
    Skink Priest w/ Cube of Darkness
    Skink Priest w/ channeling staff.

    Core

    30 Warriros w/ FC
    3 units of skinks to bunker the priests.

    9 Cold Ones with FC.

    Both Old Ones are supporting 1+/4++, and the BSB has a 2+ (w/ Reroll) and a 2+ vs fire.

    The Skinks priest could all take beast to truly spam Wildform. But a single Heavens also would be useful (Ice shard is a great spell). And with the scroll, cube, and 4 channel dice a turn you magic defense should be passable.

    But I do not know the LM army very well so I have some questions.

    1) Best builds for the Old Ones?
    2) Would 10 skirmishers be a better bunker then 14 cohort.
    3) What else do you need to get with the other 450+ points


    P.S. First post.

    Edit - math is hard..
