Too much magic, I'll never need a slann and 2 priests.

20 blocks of saurus are too small, they'll melt and break before ever getting to attack (I 1).

Drop a priest, pick up a cod, drop the cavalry and bastilladon, and pump ur blocks to 40 in hord formation, add gor rok to one and the scar vet with Crown of command to the other and watch ur enemies break on them, use spears to get 4 ranks of attacks, drop the cavalry if you need to find points.

Thanks Roxan, fair enough didn't really know where to go with it so I am magic heavy and need more warriors, not a big deal there I can adjust. I am building up from a battalion box at the moment so this is more of a where I am going to take it really.

disagree on magic, agree on saurus, but not because of too small just too many in general. cut one block down, or both blocks entirely and add more to your temple guard/other saurus block.

yeah, skinks can be in smaller units but with saurus they are either "Go BIG or go Home" kinda thing. I really like the basti though so i say keep it. pretty great support monster in my book. Also, no spears on the cold one riders. That is really just a waste of points in my book. Another thing that can drop are the patrol leaders for the skirmishers. not a whole reason for those on skirmishers.
