Hey guys, So, my question is, as I want to build up an army based on Tehehauin, and manly skinks of course, is ther any good combination, or ar scarvets etc. mandatory? I haven't really played fantasy in some 5 years, so I have no real clue what is running around these days, but our "new" group of old players is very much fluff-playing, so no tourney lists and powergaming. We are planning on building up the lists in 500 point groups, so my start would be something like priest solar engine 10 saurus filled up with skinks pretty straight forward, for the 1k I thought about adding terradons, maybe a saurus hero, who would stay very lonely in this army then, and maybe a block of skinks with kroxigors. maybe the priest gets the upgrade-stegadon then too. Anyways, then I should add swarms at some point, as I think they are pretty good supporting. Maybe somtimes even a spawning-bastiladon. Any thoughts? Could this list survive against other more fluff lists? Is the beast lore worth at all? greetings The Slann
Re: Tehehauins glorios army I think swarms are ok. I've not used Tehenhuain in this new book, so I don't really know what to tell you for his armies. I'd suspect they're like you said though, lots of Skink cohorts and skirmishers with poison, lots of Arks of Sotek, lots of swarms. Just don't forget to bring in a few units of Saurus. They're the backbone of our army. But since you're going for fluffy you might be ok without them. Just something to keep in mind if you feel yourself getting pummeled repeatedly. Beasts is definitely a worthwhile lore. Some people like Heavens, some people like Beasts. It's super cool when your priest turns into a Hydra.
Re: Tehehauins glorios army So, Idea for now: Starting with a 600 pts list as follows: Skinkpriest lvl 2, scroll 22 skinks, command, 2 krox 10 skirmishers Bastiladon for the next level, (add 600) Tehehauin, 3 Teradons Ancient Stega with sharpened horns, up to 1800 2x2 Swarms 22 skinks, command, 2 krox 2x10 skirmishers 2x1 Salamander And now, the full glorios 2400 pts: Tehehauin Skinkpriest, lvl2, skroll, ancient Stegadon, sharpened Horns 22 Skinks, Command, 2Kroxigors 22 Skinks, Command, 2Kroxigors 3x10 Skirmishers 3 Teradons Bastiladon Solar Bastiladon Sotek 2 Swarms 2Swarms 2x1 Salamander Ancient Stegadon, sharpened Horns As I posted before, I have no real clue at the moment of the meta game, but we are a pretty fluff group of players, and I just always liked the Idea of a skink army, killing stuff with poison. (I actually played a tourny list with southlands back in 6th. And yeah, I convertetd like 30 Skinks with bows...) I think I have enough monsters though, to deal some damage, and also enough magic. In the first List, I wanted to seat Tehehauin on the Stegadon, but I think he is better leading the swarms. Also Tetto'eko was in, but that was kind of to much spezial character overkill. So normal priest, goes better with the building up of the list anyways. Cheers
