Salamander

TOTAL POINTS = 2000pts

Tetto'eko allows me D3 vanguards, which I will use on the salamanders first and the stegadon. This gives me 3-5 vanguarding units a game when you factor in the terradons.

The large unit of skinks will be supported by the bastiladons/steg/salamanders. I'm hoping the chameleons/terradons and skrimishers can annoying my opponent.

Anyone like the list?

YAY, Skinks!
Good general army, HOWEVER, I'd personally switch out one of your Skink chiefs To put in a priest, Perhaps with the skirmishers? I'm too new to offer much advice, though. ..
Oh, and you're not allowed to post individual point tally.

Also, ur bsb isn't allowed to have magic armor/items. Slann's are an exception to the rule so it's easy to forget but ur cheif is going to have to drop the iron curse icon and silvered steel. Maybe pick up a krox with the pts u save.

I only really play against beastmen ( my buddies army) but it doesn't look like you have much hitting power. I can't see anything you have standing up to a hord of anything with ld higher than 7. Never had much luck with salies but maybe that's just me.

I might suggest finding pts for more skirmishes, I like the idea of a skink cloud running circles around the enemy with poison javelins and blow darts.

 

[Screamer]

The bsb can have any magic items. If he carries a magical standard he can't have any other magic items.

 

[Pinktaco]

you don't have a whole lot of heavy hitters. Should you meet some heavy cavalry with an armour save of 1+ all you have is a single stegadon.

I'd at least try and drop a bastiladon, drop 3 terradons (and add 5 more cameleons) and drop Unstoppable Stampede on the ancient steg. This should almost allow you to fit in a regular stegadon.

 

[Putzfrau]

Low leadership armies terrify me. Always be worried in one bad roll away from losing my whole army to panic.

 

[Pinktaco]

He can use tehenhuin though

 

[Putzfrau]

He can use tehenhuin though

I'm not feeling anymore confident!

Don't get me wrong, from an aesthetic perspective it's awesome I love it, I love tehenhuin he's an awesome model, I love the idea of an all skink army with him at the lead.


But he's the only way to get leadership 8, and he's a rather expensive special character. And as of now the op doesn't have him in the list.

I'd still love to hear how it goes!
