Split your salamander into two units. That way, you can run them side by side or split them up. And , if you misfire, you do not end the units shooting.

I like the list. Although all skink armies are harder to play (cause they are so squishy), it can be done. Especially using a kroxigor delivery unit(or 2). I do think that chiefs are under rated now. I almost always take a chief.

Upgrade the skirmishers to have javelins and shields. This will give them a little survivablity if they get charged (not much) and allow you to use them to harrass the enemy without losing poison (going over the 6).


You need at least one unit of chameleons in there too. I prefer to use two units of 5 or 6 at this level of play.

so is it supposed to be 1500 pts or 1000 pts? id add more sallies and chameleons as arli said. also, misfiring doesn't end the units shooting. your resolve each sallies shooting completely before moving on to the next sallie. misfiring just means that particular sallie got hungry. i do agree to split or add more though
