8th Ed. 1500pt Passive Aggressive

[Mitch311]

I'm playing a game tomorrow at 1500 pts. I don't know what my opponent will have or how competitive we will be playing.

So I made the following list:

Lord:
Slann - General
Rumination
Mystery
Unfathomable
Life Lore

Hero:
Scar Vet
-Cold One
-Halberd
-Light Armor
-Shield
-BSB (Banner of Flame)

Core:
24x Saurus HW + Shield + FC
24x Saurus Spear + Shield + FC
10x Skink Skirmisher

Special:
5x Chameleon
5x Chameleon

Rare:
Sally Pack + Snack
Sally Pack + Snack

1499pts total.

Everything fits in the points limits (Slann is exactly legal lol).

I figured a slann without TG is much more vunerable. Not toooo shooty, focused around the Saurus Marching in and grinding away. I am going to take Life Lore for throne, regrowth and other stuff obviously. Scar Vet Joins the Spears, they are meant to the anvil dishing out 27 attacks when charged.

If you faced this would you call it cheesy, competitive or balanced?

And should I give my scar vet a GW instead of Halberd. For some reason I remember a rule that makes having a halberd better when mounted. But I can't remember what it is?

Thanks for any comments!

hand weapons are generally better then spears on saurus, but its not an always thing, i dont think. they are a grinding unit and the 6 ward helps them grind a lot better.

i'd suggest looking into making your slann ethereal if he's rolling solo. just avoids a lot of things like cannon shots and stuff so your enemy specifically has to target you with magical attacks if he wants to kill you
