8th Ed. 2500 points first army list

[JDiggy]

Hey guys,

Just purchased an army, made up a list with the models it is coming with. Won't be able to change it much but I wanted some feedback on how you think it'll perform. Thanks.

Lords

Oldblood
GW, CO, AoD, Egg of Quango and luckstone

Heroes

Skink Priest
Lvl 2, Dispel Scroll

Skink Priest
Lvl 2, Cube of Darkness *both going beasts for multiple wyssans. with the idea that I'll be able to get off 1 a turn and the saurus will be S5/T5 almost all the time.*

Scar Vet
LA, GW, CO, Dragonhelm and Dawnstone *both CO characters will go in saurus unit for higher str attacks, I know they can be killed by cannons/stone throwers but lots of other targets for those plus hopefully the skinks can deal with those quickly*

Core
10 Skink skirmishers
javelin/shields

10 Skink skirmishers
javelin/shields *redirectors/bunkers for the priests*

42 Saurus Warriors
FC *most likely going horde but depending on what is lined up against me*

Special
Bastiladon with laser *near saurus for initiative buff*

7 Chameleon skinks

7 Chameleon skinks

6 Chameleon skinks *bring down the cannons quick*

Stegadon with sharpened horns

Stegadon with sharpened horns

Rare

Ancient Stegadon with engine of the gods *near the other stegs to pass 6+ ward and then selecting beasts to make wyssans easier to get off*

Well what do you think? Only extra models I will have is 6 cold one cav 4 more skinks and 6 more saurus.

Thanks for reading.

I really like the list.can do lots!! Especially the stacking of wysans. Means your saurus can confidently take down anything. If your allowing characters tho... could be worth dropping some cam skinks to get gorok in the front of the unit... immune to psych and stubborn. Yeah!!! And if you roll savage beast.... *drooooools

 

[JDiggy]

That does have some nice potential with savage beasts. 7 attacks at str 8 rerolling to hit and PF on 5-6. That's a lot of CR generated just from him alone. I'll look into getting that model sounds like fun.

 

[JPowah]

Its more for the making sure that horde is going nowhere! Stubborn at leadership 8

 

[JDiggy]

Thought of a variation of the army just based around my opponents being ok with the regular stegs which are modelled with giant bows being used as ancients. Don't think I'd be shooting the giant blowpipes much anyway.
