AoS Thunderquake Battalion Thunder Lizard Coalesced 2k Krox

in regards to your Stega chief comment... no way mate, skink chief on steg is bonkers watch @Caleb ex nihilo video on it. ive been saying the same things since the book came out. it in no way requires a horde of melee skinks to be good.

Once again, theoryhammer is great, but the shown number require the perfect condition and lots of investment to a point you build the whole roster around this single 270-pts model. Hence the OP desires to build roster around kroxigor, I assume the SKINK model, which holds longer to provide +1 bonus to kroxigors, would be more useful. In comparison, EotG provides a lot more utility for 10 less points with similar combat stats.

once again, my comment has been misconstrued and run away with before I could correct anyone lol.
I in no way said any of the other ideas was bad. I stated that the build didn't REQUIRE 80 skinks to be good. nothing more nothing less.

I didn't want to say, that Skink Chief is trash. Yes, he can pump good damage, but he needs to much investment to consider him a good choice for more or less competitive games. Buffing skinks, at least, interesting, because you can, potentially, receive 5 attacks from a 6 pts body, each with a chance of mortal wounds.

As for current list, I am sure, that any higher tier army will find a way to reduce his impact - chaff screens, shooting, magic - everything will go into him and once he lost half of his wounds, he is not as much as scary. The problem is big red aim on his mighty crest, if you are giving him WT and artefact, etc.

Yeah at this point the entire list is all theory hammer. I have some other back up Kroxigor strategies, but this is the first one I want to try.

Now all I have to do is wait until Stegadons, Starseers, Lord Kroak, and...well everything else comes back in stock -_-

I don't actually own this stuff. I was trying to build a "what to buy plan" by hammering out the details first and refined my list as much as possible with theoryhammer. Since I am getting 2 Start Collecting Skinks (...whenever they happen to be available again...) I'd have 2 bastiladons. I could just proxy EOTG w/ Skink Chief and so long as I have 2 more Stegadons I can just plug and play through real life experience over and over and over.

However until GW actually restocks...anything it's all just talking about what may or may not be a good idea ;-;

Also I've even looked at 3rd party models but somehow everybody misses out on what makes the big dinosaurs the most fun: They leave out all the skinks!!

I ran a thunder lizard thunder quake list last week with kroak, 3 stegs (engine, chief, regular), 4 units of 10 skinks, 2 units of 3 kroxigor, and 3 salamanders. It was super effective and the synergies across the board was amazing, one of my new favourite lists. I love kroxigors like you and try bringing them in any list with skinks. Sleeper unit for sure.

Sounds like I'm on the right track! That's encouraging.
