    Hello,
    As many tournaments here are on the Stupid ETChammer, there are many new ideas that come into my mind. And since now there is a Team game in a short while. I've decided to Try this:


    1 Slann Mage-Priest
    General; 2 Discipline; Magic Level 4; Battle Standard
    # Focus of Mystery
    # Focused Rumination
    Cube of Darkness
    Divine Plaque of Protection

    1 Skink Priest @ 405.0 Pts
    Magic Level 1; Lore of Heaven
    Dispel Scroll
    Dawnstone
    1 Ancient Stegadon with Engine of the Gods
    4 Skink Crew
    Javelin

    1 Saurus Scar-Veteran
    Great Weapon
    Armour of Fortune
    Dragonbane Gem
    Venom of Firefly Frog
    1 Cold One

    22 Saurus Warriors
    Shield; Standard; Musician
    1 Champion

    10 Skink Skirmishers
    Blowpipe

    10 Skink Skirmishers
    Blowpipe

    10 Skink Skirmishers
    Blowpipe

    10 Skinks
    Javelin; Shield; Musician

    10 Skinks
    Javelin; Shield; Musician

    1 Ancient Stegadon
    2 Giant Blow Pipes
    5 Skink Crew
    Javelin

    1 Ancient Stegadon
    2 Giant Blow Pipes
    5 Skink Crew
    Javelin

    1 Stegadon
    Giant Bow
    5 Skink Crew
    Javelin

    The point of this army is that Lore of Death and Shadow spells are limited to 4 PD max. And there is huge limit on the Warmachine count. Besides in Team games I will be paried againts armies like Skaven or VC. I was thinking of using Lore of Fire, but this lore is a little too situational:)
    What Do you think?:)

    First, in ETC, you have a maximum of 2 DD. With Focus rumination counting as 2 DD, a cube of darkness 1DD and a Dispell Scroll 1DD, you've too much of them.
    The limit on warmachines is 4, which permit to have a nice anti monster force. And you've go nothing to deal with them. Against an army full of warmachine, I do think you'll lose one stegadon each turn or couple of turn. Which means you'll lose one or 2 stegadon before getting into close.

    Dude,
    Rumination dosen't consume your DD limit. Cogitations Does. Rumination adds only 2 PD. Don't forget that there is Stupid Line of sight not Tlos...:)

    Oh yeah, I made a confusion between those 2 (french book, french name! it's *french accent* Aphorisme apaisant and Concentration métaphysique *french accent* :p)
    What does TloS stands for ?

    True line of sight. In other words, put your eye at the same level as your model, if you can see the target, so can your model.

    Okay, that's was I would have guessed :)
    As far as I'm concerned, I do think TLoS sucks, and like the ETC los. TLoS are easy to mess up and spend 20 minutes to tell if you do see or not the enemy...
    What I dont understand is your point about it :
    are you talking about not getting shot by warmachines by using vision ?
    'cause when you take a look at ETC maps, there are not a lot of building, hills and impassable terrain in the middle of the map AND there are a lot of hills in deployment zone. And your unit does not block LoS.

    looks like a fun this to play!
    Any opponent that hasn't brought 4 cannons or a dragon is going to be wetting themselves as you progressively plonk one monster after the next on the table haha.

    I would try and get some chamo skinks in there though, a unit of 5 can take care of one war machine which would help a lot.

    Well,
    4 warmachines but Empire has Cannons 0-3 and Stank is a Cannon too. Besides, in ETC you get to be picked to the right opponent and not to make an allrounder list:)
