This is my army list for 2000 points. I have designed it around to be very hard hitting. I will deploying it in a mushroom formation, tg and slann in the back, saurus in front of them. The two ancient stegadons on the right, and the chohort and special stegadon on the left. I will be using lore of light to buff the hell out of my units essentially. Of course i send the chameleons hunting for cannons. any ideas would be very appreciated.

Lords: 345
Slann mage priest, BSB:
Focused rumination, Cupped hands of the old ones lore of light
Heroes 290
Skink priest lv 2, 2 dispel scrolls
Skink priest lv 2 cube of darkness

Core: 758
40 saurus w/spears & full command
24 skink warriors w/ full command and 3 krox

Special 615
5 chamo skinks
20 temple guard
Stegadon

Rare: 550
ancient Stegadon

Just a heads up you have over spent on rare at 2000 points you can only spen 500 on rare 25%.
 
i could be wrong but in the 8th you can only have 1 dispel scroll
 
maybe if u take one dispel scroll away u may be able to take 2 stegs, b the way if im not right, remove something cos stegs rock
ps i still like ur army
 
Unfortunately, you cant have 2 of the same magic item in the army more than once (unless stated otherwise) Also, you cant have two of the same TYPE of item on one character, so you cant double on dispel scrolls as they are arcane magic items :/

With the rare choice on stegadons, yeah, you're over the limit sadly. What you could possibly do, is mount a skink chief on one, that way the cost comes under hero's as the steg will be his mount!

Have fun, its a pretty solid list! Watch out for cannons!
 
OK, thanks a lot. do you think i should use an engine in place of the rare stega?
 
well...in addition to being 50 points over for your Rare choices and having one too many dispel scrolls, you're a total of about 600 more points beyond what you're allowed for a 2000 point list.

here is how i'd change what is in your original list right now:

Add Becalming Cogitation to your Slaan.

Drop the spears from your saurus.

Drop a Kroxigor an 2 skinks (run 6 wide).

Make your Priests Level 1. Take Iceshard Blizzard unless you roll Comet and/or (choose one of the following, if either) Thunderbolt or Chain Lightening.

...that will get you close to 2000, and here is how I'd change the rest to get you there...

If you have your heart set on having Stegadons, then drop the two Ancients add another regular Steg, and drop Chameleons and Skink Brave. This, plus the above changes, brings you to 1996 points.

If you don't care about Stegs, then drop them all and the chameleons, and add two units of two Salamanders; each with two extra handlers. This will give you 1854 points; which means another 146 points to play with. You can put some chameleons back in, add a unit of terradons, or add another Hero character (or two).
