Hi Guys, My friends and i are starting a campaign at 1.5K and made this list as one of the possible options... I would like to receive some (harsh?) feedback and or tips to make it better.... Thanks! Lords ( 226 / 375 pts. ) 1x Old Blood (gen.) CO Armour of destiny Great Weapon Heroes ( 345 / 375 pts. ) 1x Saurus Scar-Veteran CO Dawnstone Charmed Shield Dragon Helmet Great weapon 1x Skink Chief Terradon Bsb Enchanted Shield Light Armour Dragon bane gem Spear 1x Skink Priest (beast) Scroll Core Units ( 384 / 375 pts. ) 24x Saurus Warriors Banner + Muso 10x Skink Cohort 10x Skink Cohort Special Units ( 385 / 750 pts. ) 5x Chameleon Skinks 5x Cold One Riders Spears 3x Kroxigors Rare Units ( 160 / 250 pts. ) 1x Salamander Hunting Pack 1x Salamander Hunting Pack happy hunting!!
I would make a few minor adjustments to optimize the list. I would give the Old Blood Glittering Scales w/ Talisman of Preservation instead of armour of destiny. I would move the BSB to the Scar Vet, so that your Chief can operate like a cheap redirector and you won't worry about sacrificing him. I would try to add an extra level of magic on the wizard so that you have something to use your dice on. I would upgrade your skinks to skirmishers. I would either add more Kroxigors, or drop the unit - 3 is not enough. I would drop one of the salamanders to give you the points for some of the suggestions I made. I don't think you will need two at 1500. You could also consider dropping the chameleons, the chief has vanguard and should be enough for anti-warmachine duties. Hope that helps.
Thanks Kroak!....btw....a great read about those Old blood builds!! Props! I tried to include some of your tips into my list..... How about: Old Blood (1+/4++) * gen, Co, glittering scales, Talisman of preservation, GW. Heroes: Scar-vet (1+ re-roll, 2++ fire) * bsb, Co, dawnstone, dragon helmet, shield Chief: (1+, 2++ fire) * terradon, ench shield, la, dragon gem, spear Priest: * lvl 2, scroll Core: 24 sw * banner 2 x 10 skink skirmishers Special: 1 Bastiladon 1 x 5 CoR Rare: 2 x 1 Sallie Every game i play i'm impressed with these Sallies. I just could not take one away........ I think it was a good call to remove my kroxigors (three just does not cut it...) and to remove my chameleon skinks (fragile......) I figured another option could be to include a Bastiladon (Blasty).....This unit will give me something more to do within my magic phase.....(And my SW will have some company walking at 4" or marching @8........) any more tips for me?
I think it looks like strong list. That Old Blood will be a pain in the butt for your opponent to deal with. The Bastiladon is a nice addition to your magic phase, and it can take down light units. Let us know how it works.
