    Since we're only a couple months out from Ard Boyz, I figured I'd start messing around with lists. My goal is a solid 3k list without having to buy any new stuff, so I'm pretty much taking my standard 2500 army and adding in things I have sitting around, here's where I'm at so far:

    Slann
    BSB, Standard of Discipline
    The Focused Rumination
    Becalming Cogitation
    Focus of Mystery (Light)
    Cupped Hands

    Skink Priest
    Lvl 1
    Cube of Darkness

    Scar Vet
    Light armor
    Shield
    Piranah Blade
    Other Tricksters Shard

    30 Saurus
    Spears, FC

    22 Skinks, 2 Kroxigor
    FC

    10 Skink Skirmishers
    (Priest caddy goes here)

    19 Temple Guard
    FC
    Blood Statuette of Spite
    Razor Standard
    (Slann and Scar Vet here)

    6 Cold One Cav
    FC, Flaming Banner

    7 Chameleon Skinks

    7 Chameleon Skinks

    7 Chameleon Skinks

    Ancient Stegadon

    2 Salamander
    extra crew

    2 Salamander
    extra crew


    As it stands I've got 65 points left over, so the big question is what in the world do I do with the points. I'd prefer to spend it on equipment rather than a new unit (as it would pretty much require me to buy another box of something), so my thoughts have been something along the lines of some combination of the Bane Head on the Slann or maybe going with the Obsidian Amulet for the MR2 to the unit, upgrading the Skink Priest to a lvl 2 and dropping the cube to a regular scroll to fit in the Ruby Ring on him.

    Any other thoughts or ideas?

    That would require buying more models. Besides, with Light the Cav is usable as Hydra/Abom hunters, not great, but usable.

    MR3 is a great call, thank you! Banehead + Banishment is great for putting a hurting on greater demons as well.
    I thought about switching to Life, but I still prefer Light overall as it still provides a lot of protection while boosting my offensive output.
