8th Ed. 1000pts Competitve Tournament

[Mitch311]

Not going for cheesy, but competitive. Limits: Max 3 of same unit. Only 1 Special and 1 Rare Choice can take 1 Named Char.


Skink Priest - General

Saurus Scar-vet
BSB Light Armor, GW, Venom, Dragonhelm, Cold One

27x Saurus Warriors FC (5x6)

10x Skink Skirmishers
10x Skink Skirmishers
10x Skink Skirmishers

6x Chameleon Skinks

2x Salamander + Snacks

995pts.

I can't really add much to heroes section other than maybe Plaque of Tepoc. I was going to have Amulet of Itzl but I can't afford it. So I got 2 extra saurus warriors.

I was going for killy ability of scar vet + bsb to carry the saurus block through other units. Skinks and salamanders to thin out everything before it gets steam rolled. Chameleons to remove cannons!!!

Is a BSB really relevant for this army aside from +1 combat res?

I feel kinda naked with no magic really to speak of....

What would you guys change?

Thanks!

- Cold One
- Burning Blade
- Light Armor
- Dragonbane Gem

Scar Vet
- Light Armor
- Great Weapon
- Venom of FF

Scar Vet
- Light Armor
- Shield

10x Skink Skirmishers
10x Skink Skirmishers
10x Skink Skirmishers
12x Skink Cohort

6x Chameleon Skink

2x Salamander + Snacks.

Obviously the cowboys are one unit. Designed to race around and thump stuff hard. Also Obviously they never want to hit a unit front on. Side or rear attacks only!!
Skinks and Sallies focus on bigger units followed by the cowboys.

A risky play style but I reckon it would be fun!!

The second list seems more interesting. However, you will probably do better with the first list. I would recommend keeping the BSB. You also get a reroll to all leadershipt tests within 12 inches of the BSB. This will help quite a bit against some armies.

Also, at 1000 points, there is not going to be any major magic. You should be ok with a priest. I would try to work in the crown of command on the scar-vet (drop something else to get it in points wise) and give the priest either the cube of darkness, a dispell scroll, or the diadem of power.

The first list (and the 2nd one for that matter) are very tight on points in the heroes department. If I wanted a Crown of Command + dispel scroll/cube/whatever I would have to strip the SV essentially.

I am really considering the 2nd list though. I know if the 3 cowboys get killed the game is up, but I think it would be very interesting while they are out riding about lol.

I am beginning to really like this 1000pts bracket. Makes you think ALOT about exactly what is useful and what tactics you and your enemy can use. Instead of the 2000-3000pt mentality of take one of everything.
