7th Ed. 1000 New to the army

[Gripper]

This is a list for a tournament in the new year (planning early). There are some restrictions but this list complies with them.
Been a Bret player for many years just starting lizards and liking what I'm seeing in the first few games i've played.

Saurus Scar-Veteran Light Armour; Shield; Cold One Piranha Blade

Skink Priest Level 2 Rod of the Storm Dispel Scroll

10 Skink Skirmishers (Blowpipe)

13 Saurus Warriors (Musician Standard Bearer Spear;

10 Saurus Warriors (Musician Standard Bearer Spear)

3 Terradon Rider

5 Cold One Cavalry Musician; Standard Bearer; Huanchi's Blessed Totem

Total 1000 PTS

What do people think?
Scar Vet sits in the larger saurus unit.

I can't take a steg as there is a 150points limit on models. any other suggestions?

 

[Flelmo]

I like it, but are you going to see enough multiple-wound models for the piranha blade to be useful at 1k, with a 150 point cap on models? Maybe a different item there? Just an idea.

 

[Sebulba]

Yeah, drop the Piranha blade and maybe see if you can get those two saurus units to be 12 each, 6x2. Or 1 big 18 man 6x3. Then you could get a 4th Terradon or something cool.

 

[Gripper]

Cheers for the advice guys.

Will change it to the sword of might and Talisman of protection.

Will play test with 2 12 man units (could drop the talisman from the hero for the extra saurus) and see if it makes a difference.

Any other comments.

 

[Sebulba]

The reason for the 2 12 man units is that you get a full rank bonus and can do a 6x2 formation. That's 24 attacks when charged, assuming you don't lose anyone. Even if you do, everyone would still get two attacks back.

 

[Gripper]

Yeah I see the advantages of 12 over 10. will see what I can squeeze in.
