8th Ed. skroxigor horde

[angry lizard]

Hey lads,
toying with the idea of 80 skinks and 10 kroxigor. i have however a few queries.
1] the unit will be 10 skinks wide with 2 banks of 5 krox. i believe it will be 11 deep but im not sure does each krox count as 1 or 2 ranks in this style of unit.
2] because of the great reach rule and the fact that montsterous infantry has full attacks from the 2nd rank does this mean that my 2 lines of 5 krox will all have full attacks.

thats all really except to say buffed with the right light spell a unit like this would kill any thing i tell you, anything. [ pause for insane laughter]

1st, you can only have kroxigore in the 2nd rank, they cant spam 2 deep(I kow =( )
2nd great reach is effectively ignored. But that's OK because You still get to fight with them because of the supporting ranks rule(or w/e).

and the best part, in combat, no one can pick out the krox(unless they have a rule allowing it) they just get to beat down on skinks all day long.

oh well,
thanks anyway. i really like the idea of the skrox units but god dam it skinks are hard to keep alive. i suppose the 30s/3krox ratio is the best and most effective unit size maybe a sneaky chief with a nasty item combo aswell.

Yes, that is the best way. It is also very fun to put down a unit of 65 skinks and 3 Kroxigors and watch your opponent run from them.
