8th Ed. 2000 pts vs. empire

[totzro]

Hi, I'm going up against my friends Empire this weekend. This will be my largest battle yet and first time using my slann!

He's gonna have at least some mortars, probably a steam tank and a hellblaster.

Here's what I've in mind, everything is not set, mainly the magic items.

1 Slann
-Lore Master
-Focused Ruminition
(Haven't decided if I should go with light or life)

2x Scar Vet
-Light armor
-Shield
-Great Weapon

2x24 Saurus w Hand Weapons and shields
-full command

20 Skrox
-2 Kroxigors

2x6 Chameleons

3x Terradons

2x2 Salamanders
-2 Extra snacks

The chameleons and terradons hunt down the warmachines, the saurus chop down the rest and the sallies causes panic all around.

EDIT: I have about 100 pts left over.

add a cupped hands of the old ones, and tha 2+wsv vs ranged damage on the slann

If you are sure that there will be a steam tank, you have two choices. Add more skinks to the skrox units and bog the steam tank down and beat the hell out of it with Kroxigors. The other option would be to take as many skirmishers as you can and shoot it to death. But, you would probably do better with the kroxigor unit.

Against that sort of firepower make the slann etherial. Also as your not running temple guard you could also give him crown of command and BSB and pretty much tie up any unit your opponent fields without magical attacks.

If you go with Light (which I would) you'll need the cupped hands

 

[totzro]

To make him etherial sound good, I've thought about it. I think I'll go with light aswell.

Do you suggest that I stick the slann with one of the saurus units? An almost unkillable slann with stubborn and bsb sounds pretty good.


Is it worth to drop one scar vet to add more skinks to the skrox unit?
