AoS 1.000P Army against Slaanesh

[Diablo]

Helas Guys

I m new here and "new" in Age of Sigmar, i love this Game, but i allways loose against Slaanesh ;(

So i hope you can help me and maybe you can make with my Units a better Armylist against Slaanesh.

And maybe you can tell me a Tactic against Slaanesh.

My units are:

1x Lord Kroak
1x Saurus Oldblood auf Carnosaur
1x Troglodon
1x Bastiladon
1x Saurus Astrolith Bearer
1x Skink Starpriest
1x Saurus Oldblood
16x Saurus Knights
86x Saurus Warriors
91x Skinks
5x Chamelen Skinks

Thank you for your help.

My advice is to block his charges with speed bump units of 10 skinks.. Slaanesh is a glass cannon. If you can tie up his big hitters and then counter charge them you will be much more effective.

okay thx, and which units should I play?

 

[LizardWizard]

Your units are in a bit of akward situtaion. If you are allowed to run as proxies then there are a number options that open up. For instance, Saurus Warrior are better when there is a Sunblood near by them intead of an Oldblood. Lord Kroak is too point heavy for 1k, but Slanns are perfect. If you had 6 Rippers we could build a mean 1k Shadowstrike.

Your best bet using only what you own as it is built would be to run a Skink Heavy list. At least 2 units of 40 Skinks with a Sauru Astrolith Bearer to grant them Proud Defiance. Chameleon Skinks really begin to shine in units of 10 when they are able to pose a viable threat to back-line support. Even still, I would bring them. They can roadblock some Demonettes or Seekers of Slanesh if they fail their assassination assignments.

I will spend time with your units and work on a more concrete list after I finish some real life things.
Best of luck!

[LizardWizard]

Sadly, for your first list, EotGs do not count as keyword Steggadon for the purpose of Thunderquake Starhost. The second list look good though.
