Points Total: 2248

some points:

1. Given that Slann + Temple Guard are probably not running off in a hurry (Stubborn and ItP), i thought that giving a 5 point re-roll is probably all that is needed.

2. I know that the Ring is not the most efficient use of points, but i'm just amused by the idea.

Any critiques and ideas on which list is better?

Thank you.

You can't have more than one arcane item so keep cupped hands get rid of the rest. The disiplines are fine. Get rid of the pennant it's useless cause you already get the reroll

Ok here's a rough draft for MkII of the ver 1 list:

Slaan Mage Priest w/
The Focused Rumination
The Focus of Mystery
The Becalming Cogitation
Cupped Hands of the Old Ones
Battle Standard

Skink Priest w/
Dispel Magic Scroll

Skink Chief w/
Stegadon War Spear
Ancient Stegadon

11 Skink Skirmishers

10 Skink Skirmishers

10 Skink Skirmishers

32 Saurus Warriors
Musician
Standard

20 Temple Guard
Full Command
Ruby Ring of Ruin

Ancient Stegadon

3 Terradon Riders

total come up to 2247 points, and i'm thinking of a few ways to get the 6 chameleons:

1. Get rid of the scroll caddy priest and get 7 chameleons, and spend the remainder on some useless 5 point item. Is 1 Slann enough to rule the magic phase?

2. Drop the Temple Guard back to 16 and 1 Skink skirmisher, get 6 chameleons

3. Drop the Ancient Steg and 1 Skink and get 2 Salamanders, 2 units of 5 chameleons, and a Lichebone Pennant for the slann

The things restricting me are the 25% minimum for Core (which i'm dangerously close to), and that i still want to keep the Terradons for harrassing purpose. Think they should work well with chameleons too...

Thanks for the advice :D
