It's pretty basic with 3 main line units, hopefully tough enough (with Life buffs) to weather attacks and then hit back pretty hard. The skinks are there for a skirmish screen and harrasment, although personally I'm in two minds about the effectiveness of blowpipes - they're pretty much always going to be needing 6s or more to hit, so I'm wondering if they'd be better off using Javelins with Quick to Fire instead.
Chameleons are the main Warmachine hunters, and for other harrasment. Salamanders just wander around toasting stuff and trying not to get charged.
The Slaan is a pretty standard Life setup, sitting in the TG to make a big, Stubborn, re-rollable on 3D6 LD10 block, Regrowth and Flesh to Stone should stop that unit giving away any points short of a Purple Sun.
The Scar Vet is kitted as a monster hunter, although his low I hinders him somewhat, a 1+ re-rollable armour save should keep him well protected while be brings 4 S5 -4AS blows to bear. He's likely to be sitting in one of the Saurus block until the time arises for him to charge out at some nasty. While there he's safe from BS shooting, but I am a little worried about the prospect of a Cannon or something splattering him before he gets into a fight.
Priest is a scroll caddy, nothing more.
So, suggestions, thoughts and posible improvements? As you might be able to guess, this is an army built out of 2 Battalions, a box of Skinks and a box of Saurus, with a few characters thrown in on top. I'm not massively sold on Skrox Cohorts without the lore of Light, and I'm not thrilled by their price either. <_< So, my ramblings aside, what should be changed/added/removed and/or improved?
