AoS Escalation - 700/1100/1500

[Ritual]

He definitely has some big things that hit hard, a turret thing that shoots lightning lazers and can blow itself up, and some sniper dudes who he overcharges all the time that do loads of damage.

Lots of big damage targets to take out, at least...

 

[Bowser]

Okay, well use the chameleons to take down the lightning, the bastiladon should shoot out the guns and make them panic. When the friends pop up you're in trouble. You won't be able to out shoot them, so hopefully you can get them in combat and outnumber them.

 

[Ritual]

I've played him a few times with varying points and he always goes for the Starpriest first, so at least I should be able to draw him out with that if I play my cards right.

 

[Ritual]

Need 3 battlelines for the 1100 point list, so playing with some ideas for this still.

 

[Ritual]

Considering something like this:

Allegiance: Seraphon

Leaders
Skink Priest (100)
- Priestly Trappings
Skink Starpriest (100)
Saurus Scar-Veteran on Cold One (100)
- General

Battleline
10 x Skinks (80)
- Boltspitters & Star Bucklers
10 x Skinks (80)
- Boltspitters & Star Bucklers
5 x Saurus Guard (100)
- Seraphon Battleline
5 x Saurus Knights (120)
- Lances
- Seraphon Battleline

Units
5 x Chameleon Skinks (120)

Behemoths
Bastiladon (300)

Total: 1100/1100

Priest and Starpriest hang with the Guard and Bastiladon and try to coax in his underground stuff - this makes a reasonably strong little defence unit.

The Scar Vet and Knights go on a little cruise and try to avoid the big smacky things.

Chamo skinks try to snipe a hero. Skinks head for some cover and try to do some shooting as well.

 

[Ritual]

Downside to that list: No carno.

 

[Ritual]

Killed about 500 points of his team before I lost the Bastiladon and then everything crumbled.

I just can't beat his shooting... So much, he over charges or does something mad and his gattling guns were doing like 4d6 shots each and tearing me apart.

Guards did okay but crumbled to mortal wounds so quickly. Though 2+ save with rerolls was fun.

Not sure where to go next against these rat bastards.

Might try and add more chamos and sneak a couple of assassins in to take out the Heros and casters. Sigh

Didn't catch the rerollable 2+ save on the Guards. I mean, I know how to get the 2+ but need to find out the rule for rerollables too! Sounds very tanky. Minus the mortal wounds, that's unfortunate.

Looking forward to seeing more updates.

 

[Ritual]

I think I have decided my biggest issue against the Skaven so far has been not being offensive enough. I need to get everything right up in his grill as quickly as possible to negate the shooting damage he does.

Thinking of taking this and getting right up in his face...

Bloodclaw Starhost

Comes in at 1080 and should be pretty brutal if I can get in range of him quick enough. Problem would be him shooting out the knights before I could get them charged, as they're kind squishy.
