8th Ed. 2500 and a little help is needed

[vapor]

So I've been fiddling around trying to make a solid 2500 list without having to buy a ton of new mini's, and this is what i have so far:

Slann-- BSB, Rumination, Mystery, Cupped Hands, Standard of Discipline, Lore of Life
(Note on this guy, if I understand the rules correctly the Standard of Discipline would give everyone in a 12 inch bubble a rerollable, cold blooded ld 10 to test with, including the Temple Guard who use the character in unit leadership bonus and not the inspiring presence rule. Feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken.)

Skink Priest-- Level 2, Cloak of Feathers, Dispel Scroll

Scar Vet #1-- light armor, shield, Scimitar of the Sun Resplendent

Scar Vet #2-- light armor, shield, Sword of Strife

17 Saurus-- Spears, FC (SV #1 goes here)

17 Saurus-- Spears, FC (SV #2 goes here)

Skrox-- 22 skinks, 2 Krox, FC

11 Skink Skirmishers

16 Temple Guard, FC, War Banner (Slann goes here)

6 Chameleon Skinks

Ancient Steg

Salamander

Salamander

As it stands I have 64 points left over and have quite a few options (most of which will require buying a few extra mini's). I could give the Slann an extra discipline, buff up the two Saurus units, shift some points around and add another unit of skirmishers... or maybe I'm just not seeing seeing something. Any thoughts?

Wow, awesome. Finally someone posts their 2500 pt list. Everyone seems ga-ga over 2250 still; I know that's not what we're playing around here anymore.

I like your list because it reminds me a lot of my own. The way that I see it, I feel that it's worth the points to combine your two smaller units of saurus into one (I'll be taking a unit of 30 just because things die so fast). I also have 4 units of skirmishers (they're amazing now with march and shoot); I think you could drop of the saurus to grab at least another unit.

Other than that, I feel like the list is really solid; I'm really itching to get some games in at this point level to see what I need to work on for 'Ardboyz next month.

I have them split out to give me another banner in case I roll that breaking point mission, the Slann TG block is worth 4 points alone. I also like the extra drop. I could bump each one up by 2 and run them in a 5x4 with points left over to add another chameleon skink and another skirmisher (bringing them to 7 and 12).

However, re-reading the scenario the break point is equal or less than, so losing the TG is insta-loss anyway. Hrm.
