Here goes:
Lord:
Saurian Ancient
T-Rex
Flaming Aura of the Ancients
Beast-Bane Halberd
Staff of Mending
= 475
Skink High Priest
Skink Palanquin
LvL 3 Lore of Light
Tome of Arcane Lore
= 210
Hero:
Saurian Veteran
BSB
T-Rex
Armour of Destiny
Halberd
Shield
= 320
Core
10x Skink Hunters
Javelins & Shields
= 90
10x Skink Hunters
Javelins & Shields
= 90
27x Saurian Totem Warriors
Full Command
Icon of the Relentless Company
Spawning of the Triceratops God
= 386
Special
Mace-O-Saurus
Sun Engine
= 130
5x Chameleons
= 60
Rare
Triceratops
Ancient Triceratops
Godly Engine
= 255
Total points = 2016 (hitting the 2016 mark = +2 VP
)
More Monsters! I've been looking at the spells for the Path of Light and man there are some good ones in there. It might be tough getting them off because of the high casting cost and only having a lvl 3 though. The plan is having the Totem Warriors act as anvil while the monsters hit the flanks. Tried to make up for their low speed by including the triple march banner. I do have a feeling that I am not bringing that much to the table. I'm used to having a bunch of Rippers in my dual Carno (well more like Dual T-Rex) lists, but I do want to try out how the Godly Engine works. The 6++/5++ vs ranged is pretty Godly alright! I am hoping that the Godly Engine, together with the reduction in power of Cannons and new LoS rules can mitigate ranged damage.
A big downside is that the tournament I would be attending is 3 battles which can be heavily influenced by banners:
Scenario 1: side with most banners within 6 inch from the middle of the board is awarded 200 VP
Scenario 2: every banner in opponents deployment zone awards an extra 75 VP
Scenario 3: following VP are awarded (instead of regular Seized Standard) for banners killed in combat
BSB: 150
Core: 100
Special: 150
Rare: 200
So you see that banners will play a big role and that I only have access to 2 of them. I was thinking of maybe dropping my Saurus Warriors and going full Skink Core with small units and banners, but I would hate to give my opponent an easy 200 points. Skinks are agile yes, but any Fast Cav of Flying unit will catch them and wreck them.
In any case what do you guys think? First real 9th age list and any comments and feedback would be greatly appreciated!
