I have to say other than the small amount of core they just look like a bog standard list.

How about 30 Sallies for 2400? haha or 10 ancient stegs?

 

[Mook]

Haha yes sure, its fairly standard, but without the core of saurus i can now fit in more toys.. And the question was wich of the two list is prefered.

And the lists are written with the models i have, wich i wrote in the original post.

And i seriously doubt that anyone owns 30 sallies or 10 stegadons.

Great feedback dude, cheers ;D

 

[owain_b]

Haha, sorry that was a pretty flippant post, and you are right no one has that many. I do have 6 stegs though

I think I like the first list best, I love using Slann with high magic and 2 ancient stegs (you may have guessed I like stegadons lol)

Also I rarely use carnosaurs, I love them but the carnosaur is just too easy to kill. Any unit will just target the carnosaur and it tends to die before it swings. Another reason I prefer list one

 

[Mook]

6 Stegadons aint no joke!

Was thinking about trying the first list out next week BUT change the BSB to the Slann and make the scarvet a cowboy instead, feels like i would get more out of the army like that, since i have lots of single units running around.

Peace!

 

[owain_b]

Oh I didnt spot you had BSB on the scar vet too, yeah I agree I'd put BSB on the Slann. Scar vets can be used to better potential when they arent inhibited by being BSB. I only tend to use scar vet BSB's when I'm not running a Slann.
