Hi guys trying to get ready for a 3k tournament need some opinions on list. Lords Slann w/ foucse of rumination, fucse of mystery ( lore of life) slann w/ fouces of rumination, fucus of mystery, divine plaque of protection, the cupped hands of the old ones ( lore of death) Heroes chakakas Core 30x sauris warriors w/ fc 30x saurus warriors w/ fc 22x skinks w/ fc,2x kroxigors Special 25x temple guard w/ fc 6x saurus cav w/ fc Rare 3x salamanders All opinions are welcomed. Special
Chakax is way too expensive to use in a tournament. I would switch him for a scar-vet (or two for the points) kitted out to protect the slann (to absorb challenges if needed). I would also drop the cold one cavalry. With those points I would get one additional salamander and some chameleons or Terradons to hunt warmachines.
Agree on the chamo skinks for sure. They are fantastic. I don't normally rely on too much challenge protection from my slann. Thread a while back stated - can't the slann just decline the challenge and move to the back of the unit. Now you get two extra TG attacks and your testing on stubborn 9 LD rerollable leadership.
I tend to take the scar-vet to cushion against the forced acceptance of challenges from characters or items. If there is no one there that can force the slann into a challenge, then the attacks go all on the other unit for easy combat rez. On another note, when you decline a challenge, your opponent gets to chose which character goes to the back.
But since champions can't be sent to the back if you don't have a scar vet the Slann is automatically choosen to be sent back I'd think. With an autoaccept challenge i guess I would throw the champion on it, but that only saves you for a round.
