7th Ed. 2250 listed to be used against Wood Elves and Dwarves

[SanDiegoSurrealist]

Just started playing again and learning the new 7th edition rules, but I played a couple games last week with some solid results against a Dwarf Army and then Wood Elves, not sure how it would fair against other armies that have more powerful magic.

I don't have temple guard so I needed to make sure my Slann was not going to be picked off by archers, gunners or a cannon. and used my Cav, a unit of Sinks and a unit of Salamanders to soften their flanks while I marched my Warriors, Steg and Slann right up their middle.

Feedback appreciated?

Looks good with the exception of the Curse-Charm. That can sometimes be worth it, sometimes it is not. Really personal preference, but I find it is a little overcosted from what it does.

HERO
Skink Priest 2nd lvl
Venom of the Firefly
Anc. Steg w/EoTG

Not sure why he has Venom of the Firefly Frog. Poisoning one S3 attack just is not worth it. I would recommend the Wardrums here.

HERO
Scar-Veteran on Cold One
Piranha Blade
Bane head
Light Armour & Shield

Looks good. Bane Head might be overkill because Prianha Blade already doubles. Consider putting the Bane Head on your Slann for character sniping.

HERO
Scar-Veteran on foot
Burning Blade of Chotec
Carnosaur Pendant

Does he have any armour? Because a 5+ is just not going to keep him alive very long.

CORE
25x Saurus Warriors with Command

A tad big for a Saurus unit in my opinion. I would reduce them to 18 or 24 models.

CORE
16x Skink Skirmishers
Blowguns

I usually run them in units of 10. Much cheaper point wise and then when they flee, they do not lose many points.

SPECIAL
5x Cold One Cavalry
with Command
Sun Standard of Chotec

Good choice, looks solid.

RARE
2 x Salamander Hunting Pack

I usually run they in packs of just 1, but I think 2 could work just as well, if not better.

Comments in green. In general, I like your list, just a few tweaks and it will be great. All of my comments are advice, ignore them if you disagree.

Did not even think to put the Bane Head on the Slann, thanks I will try that.

I will rework my list with the suggestions you have made and try it this weekend.

Thanks for the feedback, always appreciated.
