AoS Playing my first AoS game this week! 1000pt list

[Jack Edwards-Fox]

Hi all,

After a few months of painting I'm venturing back into playing games and will play my first skirmish with a friend this week. We're doing 1000pts so I've chosen the below list. It doesn't seem to taxing in terms of complicated rules or magic, and a nice range of units, so thought it would be a good start. Feedback appreciated!

Coalesced
Koatl's Claw

Leader
Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur [250pts]
General
Dominant Predator
Eviscerating Blade

Skink Starseer [140pts]
Cloak of Feathers (can both heroes have artifacts?)
Hand of Glory

Behemoth
Bastiladon [220pts]
Solar Engine

Battleline
5 Saurus Knights [100pts]
10 Saurus Warriors [90pts]
20 Skinks [120pts]

Other
3 Ripperdactyl Riders [80pts]

Scenery
Realmshaper Engine

your army looks a little all over the place im guessing you have one each of the start collecting boxes. without adjusting your units, I will say that no only one of your heroes can have an artifact unless you have a warscroll battalion. I do not recommend trying to make one at 1000 pts normally, and with your units it wouldn't be possible any way (the one from the start collecting isn't valid for matched play) with that mix up of units I would drop the koatls claw subfaction and just make the starpriest the general and for the trait take master of rituals for the casting bonus, and put the blade of realities on the old blood for really hard hitting -2 rend spear attacks

Thanks for the advice! I actually have close to 3000pts once I've painted my pile of shame! It's all over so I can get a feel for what each of the units does. I'm expecting to lose badly

Well, I played tonight and although it was fun I got seriously beaten down by some Nurgle badness.

Takeaways:

• If your Oldblood on Carnosaur gets charged by a Great Unclean one, you're basically screwed
• You really need to make the charges to have impact
• Realmshaper Engine does very little
• Skinks suckkkkkk (im assuming you just need a buttload of them)

skinks need to be in 40 man units and buffed by starpriest if you want to do damage, or they need to be in 10 man units to act as sacrificial screens and battleline tax
