Skink Priest, Level 2 Skink Priest, Level 1, Plaque of Tepok 20 Saurus Warriors, Spears, Full Command 20 Saurus Warriors, Spears, Full Command 1 Salamander, extra Handler Total: 800 Both Saurus units march straight up the battlefield and hammer everything. Salamander counters enemy flankers. Priests counter enemy magic, and use magic to kill warmachines or to buff units. Any problems with this list?
I would give the Plaque to the lvl 2 and replace the lvl 1 with a team of Chamox5 imho. Get rid of spears, you'll still own faces and have 40 pts to play with. If you get rid of champions then you have 20 more points. That's 70 points you can turn into a Skirmx10 unit. You will get more wounds from the Skirm unit than you will from having spears and an extra attack on the front rank.
True. But my Saurus can't kill a bunch of Orks, even with 4 attacks from a Scar Veteran! That is why I chose to use spears. I have two Skink priests so I can get four spells - I am going to get a magic missile to deal with ethereals as I have no other way of dealing with them. My new list if as follows: Skink Priest, Level 2 Skink Priest, Level 1, Plaque of Tepok 30 Saurus Warriors, Spears, Full Command 10 Skink skirmishers, blowpipes 10 Skink skirmishers, blowpipes 1 Salamander, Extra handler No one will charge a block of 30 Saurus with spears unless they can take 36 ws3 str. 4 attacks. The skinks give the army some shooting but mainly act as charge re-directors and protect the Saurus flanks. The Salamander eats t3 knights. What you think?
