8th Ed. 2500 Point Army (critics welcome)

[Thunda Parrot]

Here's my 2500 point army that i have plans to change in the near future just seeing what you guys thought of it. I am planning on fighting against Dark elves, Skaven, and Chaos Warriors with a group of friends if that helps any.
I do realize i don't have a Scar Vet in my army and I'm gonna ask you guys what i should remove in order to get him in there I think it is legal but I'm not sure. I'm also pretty sure i don't need all spears as well but it's my first list i came up with:

Lords
Slann Mage-Priest [3 Disciplines] Mystery, Rumination, Cogitation
BSB - Banner of Discipline
Bane Head
Cupped Hands of the Old Ones

Core
20x Saurus Warriors
Spears
Full Command

20x Saurus Warriors

20x Saurus Warriors

15x Skink Skirmishers

20x Temple Guard

Blood Statuette of Spite
Razor Standard

1x Stegadon
Giant Bow (for points)

5x Chameleon Skinks

Rare
2x Salamander Pack
Extra Handlers (1 for each)

2x Salamander Pack

Also total point value is 2496 / 2500

Slann Mage-Priest [3 Disciplines] Mystery, Rumination, Cogitation
BSB - Banner of Discipline
Bane Head
Cupped Hands of the Old Ones

Looks good to be. Fairly standard build. What Lore are you taking?

20x Saurus Warriors
Spears
Full Command

20x Saurus Warriors

20x Saurus Warriors

Spears look good. Again up to you on whether you want spears or handweapon and shield.

15x Skink Skirmishers
Brave

I would drop the Brave and five skirmishers. This unit will probably die most games and no point in putting more points than necessary in it.


20x Temple Guard
Full Command
Blood Statuette of Spite
Razor Standard

I would drop both magical items. Already quite an eggs in one basket, and a Scar-Veteran would be more effective than the benefits these may provide.

1x Stegadon
Giant Bow (for points)

5x Chameleon Skinks

5x Chameleon Skinks

2x Salamander Pack
Extra Handlers (1 for each)

2x Salamander Pack
Extra Handlers

Rest looks fairly good. Personally, I only run two units of 1 Salamander, but again personal preference. But if you are struggling for points, dropping a single Salamander should free some points up.

Hope that helps. Looks like a fairly solid list.

def a very solid list. on the free-up-points thought, you could also think about consolidating from 3 20 blocks into 2 30 blocks. the depth combined with the spears will give them real staying power and a better chance at keeping that +3 rank bonus. plus you'll still have a solid 3 block frontage during setup
(saurus temple guard saurus).
