Yes my dear fellow Lizardmen players: What is the worst list we can create? With not just 10xskinks+banner...that would be boring. This is not about tactics, yet, but purely about the list So I've made a small start... Skink Chief light armour, spear, Staff of the lost sun, Plaque of tepok 111 points Pretty bad chief...Yes he can carry the Plaque of Tepok: No it's not usefull... Scar-Veteran Cold One, Great Weapon, Curse-charm of tepok, Blood Statuette of Spite. 156 points The CO is pretty powerfull, the rest isnt, what's a Reaaally bad set-up for this big boy? Core: 10x skinks FC 72 points Baaad... 10x skink skirmisher, brave, javeling and shield 86 points Brave? javelins?... 2 Jungle Swarms 90 2 Jungle Swarms 90 Small enough to do: nothing 27 Temple Guard, FC. Champion carries Carnosaur Pendant 487 No slann, BIG unit of TG. Bad idea...Possible frenzied champion? 6 Kroxigor, ancient 350 Big, unwieldy, way too large, ancient...-->bad idea! Razordon 75 Razordon 75 IMHO: too small to do anything usefull, eats skinks for breakfast I'm suure you can do better than me, besides: I only have 1592 points. Help appreciated, this is just an idea and not really thought through (the list) yet. On a side note: It could help newer players to see what they should not do. So it might just be usefull... Thanks for reading! The Hunted
I don't think a cheif can have the plaque of tepok, I thought to carry arcane items you had to be at least a lvl 1 wizard?... Which is why there a certain items that dispel, but aren't a dispel scroll or arcane item. (I know of one in Tomb Kings, I could look it up if I had to...) But if your doing a worst list possible, you have to have a skink chief on a Horned One, since that item is otherwise never used, and the general needs the Sacred Stegadon Helm, since both are useless or too expensive (or both). I'd also like to see, The Horn of Kygor but you'd need a lord choice...So it probably won't make a debut. Also the skavenpelt banner would make those 10 skinks alot more sucky. Frenzied skinks, they still can't kill anything, but now can be led around by the nose, Lol... You could probably drop some Kroxigors to field some of the funnier / worse item combos...You only need 3 kroxigor with an ancient, and the ancient is the silly part. Or drop the krox cause they do hit kinda hard, and field something else that sucks... So the characters that need to be fielded are something like... Skink Chief - Terradon, Sacred Stegadon Helm Skink Cheif - Horned One, Dragonfly of Quicksilver Skink Chief - Battle Standard Bearer, Skavenpelt Banner Skink Chief - Blood Statuette of Spite, Carnosaur Pendant And stuff like that, Lol...
SlannofItza: Yeah I know there are worse 'combo's' out there... But I challenge other people to find it And for the arcane item on non-wizards: I opened a topic to today right here: http://www.lustria-online.com/threads/hypothetical.2797/ So yeah: you were right and I was wrong... I'll have to draw up another 'worst' list this weekend. What's wrong with Terradons walking? It's still M6 you know.... You just cannot FLY over units, FLY into woods...and well: FLY! The Hunted
I've got it: 2250 points Saurus Oldblood - Horn of Kygor Skinks - 133 skinks Skinks - 133 skinks Skinks - 134 skinks
a stand and shoot reaction from any of these 3 units would probably oblierate even the best unit of knights out there
That list actually wouldn't be bad against an army heavy with large targets. A stand and shoot reaction with 100+ poison attacks could easily kill a steg or dragon or greater deamon.
Are those regular skinks or skink skirmishers? If they are regular skinks, then wouldn't he only be able to shoot with front rank? Also, the static combat res from 133 skinks would probably overcome a couple of blood letters.
against large targets all ranks can shoot and static 5 (max) can't resist the charge of anything probably, even other skinks would win combat. 6 kills and you lost
Ah... makes sense then. Yeah, I think the big skink list would be worst. I have to find my rulebook and read some more. I wish I could start playing now, but I have 10K points worth of SM infantry and tanks, a warhound, and 3 thunderbolts to assemble and paint. That is a daunting task, to say the least.
have fun painting the tanks after a whirlwind and a rhino i decided i never want to touch a tank with a paintbrush again
