Skink handlers x3
Terradon x3
Shadow strike 990pts

2) scar vet on carn
Skinks x30
Skinks x10
Razordon x2
Salamander x2
Stegadon
Chameleon skinks. 1000pts

3) scar vet on cold one

Skinks x40
Bastilidon
Stegadon 990pts

4) skink priest
Skink star priest
Skink x30

Razordon x2
Dread saurian

I'd better stop there! Any help would be greatly appreciated

Welcome!
Hard to tell which one is the best because it depends on the armies you will be facing, but I think I like the first one and the last one best. Risky but cool.

I would rather play 40 and 20 Skinks instead of 30 and 30 though.

Nice one, thanks! Guess changing the skink line would also free up 40pts for another razordon or handlers.

Was thinking of perhaps running 3x30 skinks, chief general and the dread to swamp everything horde style but not used to such high model count so don't know if it'll just get punished...

Groups of 30 are not ideal since losing a single model will kill their buff.

Also be advised that the Skink Chief has lost his Command Ability and in fact doesnt even have the Seraphon keyword anymore. Basically unplayable in pitched battles.

Thanks for your help in this, I ended up running this at the Brighton tournament, and came second,, well chuffed!

Well done!

So that's what happened to the Chief. A question. Can they (the prophet, the chief and the stalker) still be summoned with the Starmaster?

 

[Aginor]

Negative.
