Hi all, Started WHFB and Lizzies a short while ago. Bought a nice big army second hand and looking for some advice to work towards a list that I can use to be relatively competitive against all opponents. Possible list A: Slann probably light. perhaps life if TG die too quickly. BSB Frenzy banner Forbidden rod Ironcurse icon Scar-vet Cold one GW and Armour of destiny Gor-rok Skink priest beasts Dispell scroll Skink priest beasts 35 Saurus Full command 3x 10 Skink skirmishers Jav + shield Bastilidon Solar engine 9 Chameleon skinks 32 Temple guard Full command AP standard Salamander Salamander Slann with the temple guard, gor-rok with the saurus. Forbidden rod is to boost one really important magic phase, it won't kill my slann and he shouldn't be taking any cc hits. if he does then... ja, that shouldn't happen. Possible list B: Slann BSB Frenzy banner Becalming, forbidden rod Skink priest Dispell 35 Saurus Full command 3x 10 Skink skirmishers Jav + shield 6 Chameleon skinks stalker Steg Sharpened horns 24 Temple Guard Full command AP standard Ancient steg eotg sharpened horns Ancient steg eotg sharpened horns That's it for now folks. CC's welcome
I'm assuming 2500 points? I like your second list, it looks a lot like a list that I've been running recently (I've been using 2 Scar Vets and an Old Blood instead of the Baby Steg and second Ancient Steg). It works pretty well for me. I will say that the Stalker in the Chameleons isn't really worth it. With that many Stegadons, I like running Life to keep them alive (also TG with 5+ or 4+ regen is pretty nice)
List A is solid. It doesn't have any major weaknesses and has the ability to deal with most threats. List B will run into trouble with cannons, and will struggle with dealing with a high armor save unit getting into the Saurus. It's still very competitive, but imo, list A is slightly better. Salamanders are incredibly good vs Infantry, particularly infantry that would ordinarily murder your units in combat, such as Executioners, witches, WL, etc.
