    I like it.

    Buy the Salamander an extra handler with that last bit of dough!

    Thank you I will.

    Do you think I should keep the krox unit or grab another Skink Priest so Predatory Fighter doesn't cause problems?

    Predatory Fighter is more of a minor inconvenience than a serious problem. A second Skink Priest is unnecessary since you are packing enough magic in your Slann.

    Ok, thanks. I was worried enemies will be able to setup counter charges after I have to pursue a weak bait unit.

    That could pull your PF units out of position with that ploy, but unlike Frenzy units, you are not compelled to charge them in the first place.

    Looks solid.

    Couple of observations:

    1. I would swap Reservoir with Harmonic (even more so since you took the channeling staff)
    2. Do you need the Priest at LV2?
    3. Sword of Might Scar-Vet... I find that a Scar-Vet with GW, dawn stone and dragonhelm gives better return (also due to the low initiative so there is no real benefit from the sword of might in most cases over a gw)
    4. How do you find the 4 Krox? Do you think that they fare better than a second ancient steg?

    Thanks for the replies.

    -I do have Harmonic Convergence already.
    -why no sallie? I may need to soften up a regen unit with shooting before it gets too close
    -I have sword of might to deal with ethereals.
    -as for the bait ploy, I may have no choice but to charge if my shooting can't eliminate certain chaff units that get in the way.
    -I'll drop the level and take the cube, thanks
    -the krox cube is something I want to try out. Scalenex spoke highly of that unit in his LZ guide so I'm giving it a whirl

    I find sallies to be golden imo.

    I am currently fielding 2 in my list and they work well (particularly with walk between worlds which allows you to position the sally in an optimal position).

    Re Priest, do you mean to reduce level and exchange scroll for cube? I would advise against exchanging the scroll for the cube since the cube works on a 2+ (not automatically like a scroll).

    Looking forward to hear how you do with the Krox unit.

    Ok keeping the scroll and dropping the level upgrade on the Skink leaves me with 41 points. I can get the extra handler and upgrade the Air Force units to have. Champions. Good idea or is there a better option?
