    I was thinking of buying the battalion and converting the skinks into Chamo skinks!
    I was also thinking of a slann mage priest but doesn't anyone have problems with it being metal?
    I'm also buying a salamander extra!

    A salamander (or 4) is a must. I always include at least 2 in all my lists. As for the TG, you need at least 5 more (10 would be better). I would go for some terradons as well. They are pretty good. The betallion box would be a good choice. You can find threads here on converting the skinks into chameleons.

    The slann model is no problem to deal with. The paliquin is the hardest part to deal with and it is not bad at all.

    Another Salamnder for sure and a slann.
    Agreed with other another 5 is nice.

    16 is the min I'd run though (makes a a min 5 wide slann protection)

    20 is just nice and symetrical

    Would 14 TG be enough in a 1500 point game? Since they are already steadfast it seems a waste to have too many ranks when the opponent won't probably have much that can match them in CC. Especially seeing as you can regrow them with Life.

    What if you come up against something like the Dreaded Thirteenth Spell? You want more models, otherwise it is bye bye slann.

    Already orderd Lord Kroak (I think he's cooler then the regular Slann :smug: )
    I've got some COC too and also I think I have some temple guard bodies left :D

    I use Kroak in most of my games as a regualr slann. He just looks cooler. Mainly, his paliquin looks better than the other slanns.

    It's the best feeling in the world when your enemies strongest units smash into the temple guard, they hold, and you resurrect almost, if not all, of the models that they killed. Now you have them right where you want them. Mmmm, delicious.
