    Organ gun is heavy pain. I'd advise proxying some normal skinks as Chameleon skinks to go war machine hunting against all the war machines. 2 squads of 5 Dose me dine at 1.5 / 2k

    The bow on the stegadon is pretty poor imo. Giant blowpipes are sweet though. I actually have the blowpipes and giant bow on my stegadon, again though you could simply not play WYSIWYG

    Without a Slann, you'll need the best magic that you can get. Teto is pretty good. Lets you take an Oldblood lord aswell, which can be really fun and should rip stuff up!

    Hope I helped somewhat XD

    Ah lol sorry, shouldve explained. WYSIWYG means What You See Is What You Get

    Like if you have a spear on the model, that model HAS to use a spear XD

    It should be noted that the WYSIWYG rule applies primarily to 40k and very loosely to fantasy. I think it almost falls into a personal preference. Myself, I think it is pretty lenient and allow some flexibility. For example, I have some skinks that are converted having a blowpipe in their hand and a shield and javelin on their back. the weapons are their if I decide to use the javelin instead of the blow pipe (which I do use most of the time).

    In friendly games, it does not really matter. In a tournament setting, it could be an issue.
