The Ogre player will hate those chameleons. Also, remember do not shoot at his butchers or his slaughtermasters, they are all immune to poison ( or if you do, make sure you can single them out for the shots).

I think Lore of Light would work better (with cupped hands of course).

Can only have 3 of the same special choice in games under 3000. 3 units of 10 chameleons would work.

Wasn't that was the build for 7th edition?

From my understanding, I can have up to 50% special.

There is still a maximum unit count in 8th.

Skinks love ogres though so that many chammy skinks is going to be a good go, though skink skirmishers aren't too shabby either given how much cheaper they are.

I just played a 2400 pt game against them and my 2 sets of 6 chameleon skinks were the allstars. Together they took out a Slave Giant, 2 Scrap Launchers, 4 Leadbelchers and a couple of Bulls, leaving my opponent with just his giant horde of bulls with Butcher, BSB and Tyrant to stand alone against the rest of my list. My Light-buffed TG with 2 flanks of Saur Warrs toyed with the rest.

Ya I jus finished my battle with him, and I won by a huge margin.

The chamos were ok, my saurus and stegadon with the warspeer cleaned up.

Nice win, Against ogres you really need to use buff magic Runemaw will just flick away anything worthwhile
