Hi fellow jungle dwellers I’m having a game-weekend (2400 pts) with my friends starting Saturday and for this one I thought I’d test something at least partly different from what I usually play. I’m going to let go of mommas skirt and ditch Slann+TG bunker. Apart from that I go Saurus-heavy with at least 2 units (sometimes one horde), with a scar-vet BSB. Most times I also use CoC for cowboy delivery. I should note that we almost always play pitched battle line, PF for all ranks. What I usually face is: · Hordes of plague bearers, Epidemius and other nurgle stuff (no beasts) · O&G with 40 savage-orcs with decked out ward saves, doom divers/stone throwers · Empire horde of halberds, cannons, demigryphs, inner circle and steam tank · Hard core VC blenderlords and other “power gaming” tricks are common occurrences. · +Wood elves Now, what I would like to try out is something along the lines of a MSU/Character list. First draft, still very rough along the edges and I feel like I'm only half way there: Lords: 468p Saurus Oldblood 239p Great weapon, Crown of Command, Armour of Destiny, Luckstone Saurus Oldblood 229p Great weapon, Cold One, Glittering Scales, Dawnstone Heroes: 530p Gor-Rok Skink Chief 125p Terradon, BSB, Shield of Ptolos Skink Priest Lvl 1 Beasts, Cube of Darkness Skink Priest Lvl 2 Heavens, Dispel Scroll Core: 669p 19xSaurs Warriors Musician, Standard (Gor-Rok or Old Blood) 24xSkink Cohort Full command, 3xKroxigors 10xSkink Skirmishers Javelin and shield 10xSkink Skirmishers Javelin and shield Special: 566p 19xTemple Guard Musician, Standard (Gor-Rok or Old Blood) Bastilladon Solar Engine 5xChameleon Skinks 5xChameleon Skinks Rare: 2xSalamanders Total: 2393 / 2400 Apologies if some points is wrong don't have access to my book right now. I've stolen Slebodas Skink Cheif + Terradon + Shield of Ptolos combo and stuck a BSB on there so props to him In what way could I improve the list? Should I add/remove something? I sadly don't have more skink models and I already have to speed-paint some up I have no idea how this will work out for me so any tips on tactics, deployments or otherwise is very much welcome
Good idea, it frees up some points aswell. Only ever used him in tandem with Slann. Without Slann, Tetto will be the star of the show! What's troubling me is magical defense should I go down that route, I might be overreacting though. Another question, the size of skrox-units, is there a consensus on which size is more useful? Thanks
I don't think i'd choose to minimize my magic defense in a list with 2 already small saurus blocks. If you zneeze at the 19 man unit it'll lose it's combat efficiency.
Alright, the double priest combo stays! So maybe if I cut down the skrox-unit down to two kroxigors, will their usefulness diminish in any way? That way I could increase the saurus to 24 and TG-units to 22 models. I'm thinking the dual stubborn saurus units will hold the enemy down. I'm not really sure tough, is the list diversified enough to tackle whoever I end up facing? Does it need more hitting power?
