Hello! Last year I built myself an army, then before I could get into playing, the Navy had covid pandemic forced me to put my army aside. Now I'm back and things have changed! Apperently we're in 3.0 and I have no idea what's going on. Below is a list of my models and i would live a bit of help putting a nice little starting force together with what I have. Thanks in advance . 20 Warriors with spears. 15 Knights with spears Scar vet on carno with spear Trog. Sun blood 3 salamander with hunting parties. (3d printed) 3 krox. (3d printed) A star priest/priest (kit bashed) Ravenak's gnashing jaws And a slann. Might have enough kicking around to kit bash a scar vet on cold one and a priest How should I put this together for 3.0? Likelihood is I'll hop into the next escalation League at my local shop when ever they get things going again. I'm hesitative about running the 3d proxys since I've been told some places don't meet you run them. P.s. I know he isn't great but I live the trog and want to field him
Welcome to Lustria! So what you have isn't the most cohesive force unfortunately. Question, are you open to buying additional models or can you only work with what you have?
Hey, welcome to Lustria. Maybe you can work with something like this: Allegiance: Seraphon - Constellation: Koatl's Claw - Mortal Realm: Ghur - Grand Strategy: Predator's Domain - Triumphs: Inspired Leaders Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (215)* - War Spear Skink Oracle on Troglodon (270)** - General - Command Trait: Master of Star Rituals - Artefact: Amulet of Destiny (Universal Artefact) - Spell: Fiery Convocation Skink Starpriest (130)* - Spell: Hand of Glory Slann Starmaster (265)* - Artefact: Itxi Grubs - Spell: Stellar Tempest Battleline 5 x Saurus Guard (115)** 5 x Saurus Knights (110)** - Lances 5 x Saurus Knights (110)** - Lances 5 x Saurus Knights (110)** - Lances Units 2 x Salamander Hunting Pack (240)** - Reinforced x 1 1 x Salamander Hunting Pack (120)** Behemoths Stegadon (265)** - Weapon: Skystreak Bow Endless Spells & Invocations Chronomantic Cogs (45) Core Battalions *Command Entourage - Magnificent **Battle Regiment Additional Enhancements Artefact Total: 1995 / 2000 Reinforced Units: 1 / 4 Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 101 Drops: 4 For starters you can ask if you can proxy the Saurus Guard with some of you Saurus Warriors. A Stegadon is iconic and Monster are really good in 3.0 so buy some, they're awesome! I think if you want to field a Trog this should set you up. Just remember Koatl's Claw isn't that strong right now and if you buy a Stegadon you maybe want to buy more and go for a Thunder Lizard's List next.
For now, I'm going with what I have but I'm liking what 2Hands said below and I'm thinking stegadons and thunder lizards might be the direction I'd like to go in 3.0, it's just going to be a while before I can start acquiring new models.
So in 3.0 are guards a more usable unit then they were before ? I'm thinking you're selling me on thunder lizards
OK. In that case the list that 2hands provided would be a good starting point. Saurus guard are very useful now, I'd always recommend a unit of 5 assuming you're fielding either a slann or kroak, which having one of them in your list is also mandatory imo. Something else to consider would be to proxy your Trog as an engine of the gods, if your local store or gaming group would allow it. As 2hands mentioned, the trog isn't very good. It's only somewhat playable as a range extender for kroak or in starborne lists to generate summoning points, but those won't apply for you. The engine, on the other hand, is very good now
