That is an extremely small list and you lack redirectors and harassers. The skink chief is very expensive for what he does and you already have a ton of pts in your characters, so I'd dump him for some skink skirmishers.

Skink priest with EotG isn't a very strong choice either as its expensive and barely boosts the magic potential of the skink priest. You also want to cast with your Slann anyway as he gets +2 more to cast and a free dice, so I'd rather take a regular steg and use the points you save on more chaff (skink skirmishers & cohorts, cammos or terradons). Just my 0.2$.

@erians, funny that you mention the Skinktacus, I was thinking the same thing today. I went to GW and ordered 6 terradon riders with the idea of dropping him and adding a unit of terradons instead.

You really don't care for the Skink Priest though... hmmmm I can understand your point about him being a non-multiplier. Question? If I build just the Stegadon body can I add the howdah or Engine later? If so I will try your suggestion out 1st, and if it works, I can always buy a 3rd Stegadon later.

Let me crunch the numbers a bit and I will do an edit to my list.

thanks,

Steve


Quick question? Does Venom of the Firefly Frog apply to the Skink Chief's Stegadon if mounted? The 2 giant blowpipes I mean. Impact hits as well I suppose.

Warhammer Armies: Lizardmen

All mundane weapons used by the bearer are coated with this venom.

No, it applies only to mundane (non-magical) weapons used by the character with this item.

As for your list, it needs more skinks.

@Hasnat I figured that was the case for the Firefly, but as far as "needs more skinks"... What do you suppose I drop for them? Adding skinks willy-nilly doesn't seem like very good advice to me. If you have an idea I would like to hear it please.

Thanks,

Steve
