TOW 1500pt Magic centered build

[Death Company]

Greetings,
I have a 3s team game coming up in a couple weeks. My teammates are running Empire and Bretonnians but nothing in the way of Magic. I was thinking of running some thing like this. I'm limited on models I own so with my spare point went towards a Salamander pack and some extra skinks. I know Javs are all around better for Skinks but I want to try out blowpipes w/scout.

That looks like a fun list!

I like battle for the skink priest's on the stegadons, the signature hammerhands is perfect to get into combat with.

The weak point is obviously the salamander... They're terrible. Maybe points straight into Saurus?

 

[Death Company]

Yeah I could drop the Salamander pack for more warriors. My reasoning was to go Elementalism on the Priest instead of my go-to Battle Magic was to either use wind blast or do something goofy like cast Mythical pathways on the Salamander pack to basically (march)12" and put them in a position to still be able to roast something.

Hey mate,

Looks good, the salamander shenanigans could be fun for sure!
Also there only one unit of scouts allowed per 1000 so you’ll have to drop it off of the second unit and chuck some more skinks in there

Keen to hear how you go!
