8th Ed. 2000 pts no Slann, magic light

[Haemoglobin]

So I've cooked up a 2k list without Slann as I feel that a Slann restricts too much at 2k:

Core

29 Saurus Warriors handweapon & shield + full command
3x 10 skink skirmishers blowpipes

Lord

Saurus Oldblood
Steggie helm
4+ward save item (can't remember name, dont have BRB on me)
Ironcurse Icon
Light armour
Halberd

Hero

Skink priest, lvl 2, Lore of Beasts + scroll

Skink chief
BSB
Ripperdactyl
Light armour
Spear
Egg of Quango
Enchanted Shield

Special

3x Ripperdacytl
3x Ripperdactyl
Bastiladon + Lazer
10x Chameleon skink

Rare

1x Salamander hunting pack
1x Salamander hunting pack
1x Ancient Stegadon + Sharpened Horns


I am planning to use the 2 units of rippers and the BSB chief to attempt to roll down a flank. 2 bloat toads + a reroll on failed frenzy tests should do something I hope. Plenty of chaff and things to redirect bad matchups for the saurus. Let's see how well this list works Any comments are appreciated!

Yah, looks interesting. Egg of the Quango on a Ripper could be fun. Too bad he doesn't get his own Toad though. The chief might be better off on a Terradon since he's your BSB. They can still keep pace with Rippers, you know. Plus he gets a rock to drop.

Just make sure you keep your Steg close to your Saurus. They will be very reliant on one another.
