Welcome to the forum!

I would recommend a couple of boxes of skinks (if you want a skink based army). You should also pick up a few Kroxigors to go with that.

A slann and some more temple guard would be a good thing to have as well.

Definately a couple of salamanders with extra snacks (you could model those from some of the skinks).


Hope this helps.

thx that really helps how about terradons and stegadons

Terradons are great at getting to war machines. Chameleons do that better though (in my opinion). Terradons do play a roll in the army. I would recommend that you get at least 3. I use the Tiq Taq Tou model (mispelled that name) as a skink chief or as a regular terradon.

The stegadon is a very situational unit. You should use one a couple of times to see what works best for you. I like using the EOTG or a skink chief with the Warspear (this devastates any type of elven unit).

On a completely unrelated note, you will be able to post freely after your third post.

our best skink based units are probably the chameleons. There is a tutorial somewhere on here where you convert the regular skink models to camos with just a little shaving and green stuff. they look great and its better than buying the metal models.

salamanders are worth their weight in gold, and are well worth the small amount of points it takes to field them
