    Hello all! First time posting on Lustria.
    I am in need of some advice on my list, this is my first warhammer army that i will actualy play with and will eventualy expand to 2400 but i have to start somewhere.
    I have a slann but it doesnt fit in a 1200p list sadly, so saving him for when i have my 2400 army.

    Anyways, was hoping this would work, i want to include the temple gueard since i already own them, same with the skinks, the rest is not ordered yet.

    The reason i want a 1200p list is because of my gaming Group, they play at either 1200 or 2400 Points ;)

    I hope i can get some help from you guys! :D

    Im not a fan of the skink priest in the saurus, because he has to stand at the front to the side alone (different base), and you want to get the saurus in combat ASAP and then he gets targeted. Maybe 24 saurus is too few for spears too. Rather have the save at this level with the shield.

    Isnt light armor on the scar vet redundant if you have armour of silvered steel? Furthermore, now you have 65 points worth of magic items on your scar vet if you count the sword.

    Id say Beasts would be better for this list, buffing your units with a minimum of one spell.

    I really dont feel the cube of darkness is worth it unless youre playing vs. something specific. Rather take a dispel scroll.

    Solid list beyond that. Just my two cents. Perhaps worth looking into the ancient stegadon. It would eat people at this amount of points.

    Are the temple guard worth it without a Slann?
