I smell Army Builder

I don´t really understand what you are going to do with the slann, with the crown of command i assume you are going to put him in a unit of some sort (unless you are planning on fighting with the slann himself) yet I do not see a unit of Temple Guard in the list, am I right? Remember that if you put him in a unit of saurus he stays in the front rank and that is a very dangerous place for a Slann.

The skink chief i also wonder, what are u gonna do with him? you cant expect him to figh can you? unless u put him in one of those skink units and use lore of beast on him I just can´t see what u r planning.

The Salamanders are great, people might call you a powerplayer because of that you have 4(!) of them in less than 3000p but I´m guessing you are happy about them

The same with the chameleon skinks, they´re great, but I´d field them in units of 8 instead, 4 more poison arrows are great and they are still pretty easy to hide.

It would be fun to see some tactica over this army.

Your right, I went back to the drawing board.

What do you think of the ammended above?

Thanks for pointing out the obvious lol

I am going to recommend u using lore of light to this army, since it can be really good defensive and can give a nice initiative boost to ur allready fighting-strong sauri.

The list looks really good overall, it eventually comes down to taste whether u want to field ur Saurus 6x4 or 5x5 (personally I field mine in ranks of 6).

The slann build is tremendously better (considering u dropping the crown of command) and as previously mentioned, I recommend the lore of light.
I love to see the Curse Charm in play, like the Blood Statuette, it is a way to often forgotten, yet very useful, item. Your skink priest i would try to hide far back in ur army.

I absoloutely (?) love your Infantry-strong army. The fact that ur using only 2 characters in 2500p games is really nice. But I think ur missing on some anvil units for ur slow hammer units you´ve got going there. you need something to flank with and I´d recommend skrox units because of their high movement. I understand that the kroxs are made for that purpose but then I would have en 3x2 to fill out a rank.

I don´t know how much you´ve played the list but remember to keep one of them skink units behind your line for rear protection, (maybe put the priest in there?)
And as said before, the sallies and chammies are great!

Hope this has been to any help!

Cheers! Donald.
