[theodoris]

4 Feb. i`ll be playing an 2400 tournament.
I don`t know who or what i`ll be going against, so this got to be all corners(sort of).

No double rare and no named character

Slann lore ----light
Rumination, Cogitation, all spells
bsb,
Cupped hands

skink priest lvl1
cloak and scroll

scar vet
light arm.
crown of command
shield
dragon helm

24 skinks +musician + 3 krox

core:
26x Saurus Warriors
Full Command

10 skinks 70
10 skinks 70

3 Terradons

19 Temple Guard
F.command
banner of swiftness

7 x Chameleon Skinks

ancient stegadon

2 Salamander +1skink

total 2397

The scar is going in the saurus unit and is the anvil, holding on till my other units slamm into the flank.
Using light spells like speed of light(buble) and Timewarp.

tested it on 2 diferent army`s(high elves and britt.)
So far the list is doing what i want it to do.
Any comments?

Sorry for my bad english

 

[Bananmats]

Dragon helm and Crown of command. 2 Helmets aremt allowed.

Drop the crown of command, been using it myself..but think its a bit overkill. Cold blodded etc. Take banner of dicsiplin on Slann instead.

 

[theodoris]

I didn`t know you couldn`t have the crown of command and the dragon helm.
Yes they are both head gear, but i don`t know of any rule that you can`t take both.
Maybe the crown can be hang on his belt or so.

Taking out the crown also means i`ll be lossing the stubborn rule.
Still this list isn`t perfect, so i`m going to try it without the crown, and see if i can use the points for other things.

Cool story bro.
Dragonhelm is a piece of armour, while Crown of Command is an Enchanted item. There's no conflict.

try to add a standerd of discipline on slann,giving him a stunnin ld 10, its well worth it

 

[Lord Tsunami]

just for the record (as stated above) you can indeed wear both dragonhelm and crown of command, however, i think it is redundant.

as also stated above, there is no reason not to give the slann the +1Ld banner either.

I personally prefer to take more units instead of combat characters. hence is see no reason for the scar vet or the skink chief. also, the skink chief gets a 3+ save, since the howdah save cant be improved (it specifically says so in the description). if you insist on taking him, please please please use him on an ancient steg at least.

overall it is a very solid list and you should have great success with it.

''the skink chief gets a 3+ save, since the howdah save cant be improved (it specifically says so in the description). if you insist on taking him, please please please use him on an ancient steg at least.''

indeed VC has a lot of T4 like ghouls and Grave gaurd but i am not sure how much ghouls you will see in the new book, how ever if vc will have as much t4 as in the last book that S6 impact hits and thunder stomps will be so much better than S5. =)

 

[theodoris]

Darn, i forgot that rule you couldn`t improve the armour save.

Yesterday the tournament went pretty well.

I got massacred by chaos the first turn, man those knights are tough.

Did an draw against O&G

I massacred Ogre Kingdoms, but he realy had bad dice rolls.
He also had an weird item.
He used lore of death with "the caress of Laniph" and an Ogre item, if it got my slann he would have been reduced to LvL 0.
I don`t know what item this was, but it it works, i have seen him do it to other players

Btw.
An Lizardmen player won, he had an list with only skinks( about 140), 2 Slanns, 1 engine, 1 normal steg., 4 terradons., 2 units 10 chameleons
no salamanders, no saurus.

 

[Turtleneck]

weird tournaments u got ther :s

 

[theodoris]

That item was the greedy fist. When a caster is hit (only hit, not wounded), the caster loses a level and a spell per 'hit.' With the lore of Death spells, it is really powerful (it was recently FAQ'd to include magical attacks). It grants +1 str and a 6+ ward save that will also make a magic weapon a mundane weapon in CC if the slaughtermaster makes a ward save(on a 6+ only, if there is another ward save) against the greedy fist.

Between that and Hellheart, the Ogres have some really potent magic/items.
