So I'm having a 2v2 battle next weekend. Me and my Skaven playing mate, vs Wood Elves and Empire. 1500pts per army. Enemy lists are sure to feature tree-kin, some sort of flying bird, loads of glade guard, dryads, 4th lvl wiz, 3rd lvl wiz, ~10 cavalry, 2 cannons, war priests and probably a bastard empire special character or 2, plus some crossbow men. Rat ally is looking to take Storm Banner and Howling Warpgale spell, which are basically anti- flying, anti-shooting stuffs, and a bucket load of slaves, some clanrats, a few warlocks, and a doom wheel. So, to complement my ally, and with the enemy in mind, what do y'all think of my list? My List: 1.5k with rats saurian steg skrox Old Mossy's Plague Lizards (1501pts) (yes, I know it's 1 point over) Lords Slann Mage-Priest - General - Cube of Darkness - Divine Plaque of Protection - Lore of Life - Pidgeon Plucker Pendant - The Focused Rumination Heroes Saurus Scar Veteran (In with Saurus) - Battle Standard Bearer - Dawnstone - Gambler's Armor - Great Weapon - Ironcurse Icon - Shield Core Saurus Warriors - 20 x Saurus Warrior - Hand weapons - Full Command - Sun Standard of Chotec Skink Cohort - 2 x Kroxigor - 20 x Skink, - Full command Special 5 x Chameleon Skinks Stegadon Rare Salamander Hunting Pack - 2 Salamanders - Additional Handlers
How is it that you can take an magic banner with your saurus unit? is it worth to take an full command with the skrox unit, i would think an musician would be enough since it would be an flanker I think. otherwise i think it is an good list. sorry for my bad english
Heh, not sure why I took the pendant. Cheers. @theodoris: Saurus are allowed to take a magic banner. I decided an extra point of combat res. was worth it. The champion I'm still not sure about. I figure he can call a challenge so that less skinks are killed if I need to (better 5 overkill wounds than 5 extra dead skinks IMO). Having said that, if I want my Krox to be hitting the character, my champion can always just refuse if he is challenged (right?).
Ugh. So, my ally managed to accidentally send both of our army lists to our opposition... I've put together an alternative list, and was hoping for some feedback of which to choose. In the end, I'm not too worried about taking the old list. The mind games will probably have them thinking the list was a fake or something So: Slann - In with Temple Guard bunker (obviously) - General - Focus Mystery - Rumination - Lore of Light - Cupped hands Scar-Vet - BSB - Shield - Armour of Fortune - Biting Blade - Luckstone 10x Skink Skirmishers Skink Cohort - 25x Skinks - 3x Kroxigors - Musician - Standard Bearer 5x Chameleon Skinks Temple Guard - 18 TG - Musician - Standard Bearer (w/ Razor Standard) - Revered Guardian Salamander Hunting Pack - 2x Salamanders - Extra Handlers ========== So the aim here is to have both the TG and skrox as hammers, and use lore of Light to help out. What you think?
uh.., no you are not allowed to carry a magic banner with your saurus unit it can but only if you stick in a scar vet., if so please say were it says so.
Wow. Opened the Lizard book, expecting to see what I was sure was there, but nope, no magic banner in a saurus unit. theodoris, did you erase it from my book?
