I think the BSB Scar vet is illegal. The army book says a scar vet who carries a magic standard cannot have other magic items. I don't have my rule book but am guessing that the PPP is a magic standard.
If so, and you want to keep the helm and potion, you'll need to drop the PPP.

Also the Skrox unit can only have 3 krox in it as there is only 25 skinks. It's one krox for every 8 skinks.

Not sure of the point, but can you squeeze another 10 skirmishers in now given one less krox and the removal of the PPP?

3x8=24

 

[Gary_M]

Yes but the list says 25. With 25 he can still only take 3 krox.

However I can't fault your maths!



I should have put the 24 bit in my initial answer though

Correct me if i'm wrong.. but,

I think the BSB Scar vet is illegal. The army book says a scar vet who carries a magic standard cannot have other magic items

I think the only restriction is no magic weapon in 8th eddition.
This is a change from earlier edditions.

 

[Gary_M]

@n810 - Being the saddo I am, I just happen to have the Army Book with me.

It says "A Saurus Scar-Veteran or Skink Chief that carries a magic standard cannot have other magic items"

To me that means armour, weapons et al cannot be taken if the Scar-Vet or Skink Chief BSB has a magic standard.

 

[n810]

Well, yep thats why I put up a disclaimer.
(what the heck was I thinking of)
strange that they would specificaly call that out.
What are the BRB rules again?


Edit: oh if you take a mundane standard you can take magic stuff.

 

[Sobeks_Fist]

So... What should i do with the BSB?

I took the skink out and added a saurus with the leftover points

 

[Gary_M]

@Sobeks_Fist keep the BSB on a scar vet, but dont give it a magic standard.

A scar vet who is BSB with no magical standard can take the usual points allowance of other magical items.
A scar vet who is BSB with a magical standard can't take any other magical item.

 

[Sobeks_Fist]

But the Scar-Vet doesn't have a magic standard?

 

[Gary_M]

@Sobeks_Fist - My apologies - I didn't have my rule book so wasn't sure about the PPP. Given its not a magic standard, its fine!
