[Shadowstalker Grim]

Slann: Focus of mystery, Focused Rumination, Higher State of conciousness - 375

Chakax: - 335

Skink Priest: Engine of the gods - 355


Saurus Warriors x20 : Command, Spears - 270

Skink Skirmishers x10 - 70

Skinks x 12 - 60

Temple Guard x20: Command - 355

Cold Ones x5 : 175


Total - 1995


I really like Chakax and the temple guard models, so my army is heavily centered around them, i know that because of this the army is rather weighted towards the heroes, i would like to know if this list can fare well in a competative enviroment or is it just weak?

Any C&C would be appreciated, particularly what could be improved and changed...I have NO models to start with, but was going to get a Starter box and go from there....so if anyone has any recommendations please say

 

[ilnar]

well for starters, id drop Chakax, yes he is a wonderfull character but he is almost 2 big block units in cost,
its a bit much

you could always use the model as your revered guardian if you realy wants

if you insist of taking them both,
drop the temple guard to 16 and lose higher state of consciousness from the slan. if he needs to use that skill,,, then you are in serious trouble, take becalm instead?
and make the slan a BSB with the banner of dominion, will give you a rock solid magic defense.
take the banner of light on the temple guard to protect against shooting.
you'l be slightly over at this point, but you can drop the saurus unit down a little,
and i'd take a second unit of skirmishers over the ranked unit.
its not an army id use for a beginner, but it could be effective,
you have 2 hammers 2 anvils, 2 units of pipes.
i like it

Ok based on what has been said I have made a few alterations:

Slann: Focus Of Mystery, Becalming Cogitation, The Focused Rumination - 375

Saurus Scar Veteran: Light Armour, Great Weapon, Hide of the Cold Ones - 146

Skink Priest: Engine of the Gods - 355

Saurus Warriors x20: Spears, Command - 270

Saurus Warriors x20: Command - 250

Skink Skirmishers x10 - 70


Temple Guard x20: Command - 355

Cold One Riders x 5 - 175

Total: 1996

Any better than before? I'm tempted to remove one of the saurus blocks and fill it full of skinks and perhaps something like terradons or salamanders......

 

[lorslimshady]

I would definitely get rid of a saurus block. i think you should upgrade your mage priest to lvl 2(lvl 3) and get some skink skirmishers, terradons and a salamander.
