8th Ed. 2k 6 kroxigor list

[Leokill27]

Well after seeing what the community has to say about kroxigors Ive been bashing a few lists out, and I like the look of this one, the lack of chameleon skinks is my only real worry, might look at jiggering it around to squeeze some in.

Skrox unit (10 skinks 1 krox)
Full command 127

Skrox unit 127
Full command

Skrox unit 127

Saurus 25

BSB 445

Temple guard 20 355

A stegadon 275

Salamander 75

2001 points, as per my game group, 5 points +/- is alright. Well, your criticism is welcome, thanks in advance!

Lore of Light or Life?

Overall, I like the list. I would like to see some chameleons and another salamander though. Myself, I would cut the stegadon to add those models. But, try it and see, you may like the way it plays as is.

 

[Leokill27]

I'll be testing both, but going with light as its my primary lore

I was thinking of dropping the steg, but I think i'll playtest it once or twice first

don't forget that you can't do anything for the kroxes to lose their ASL. even with ASF and I10 they strike last and don't reroll to hit rolls. ASL>ASF (BRB).

unless you find a way to urn those kroxes into HElfs i suggest you go with life or shadow for the WS/T reduction on enemy units.

I've heard it before, but I can never find in the rule book where it says Always Strikes Last is greater than Always Strikes First. In fact, on page 66 under Always Strikes Last, it pretty definitively states that, "If a model has both this rule and Always Strikes First, the two cancel each other out and neither applies so use the model's initiative." There's nothing in the Errata or FAQ to contradict that. So if you happen to get ASF and I10 on your Kroxigors, then you're attacking at I10, but if you can show where it says something else in the book, then I'll happily listen.

Did it not work that way in 7th?

 

[Leokill27]

That was precisely my logic benny, you go on I order, but even if not, WS10 is a decent defence

 

[Arli]

I believe the fact that Great Weapons always go last is what gets you in this case. I may be wrong though. Please, correct me. I would love to have my krox hit first!

 

[Benny6Toes]

Nothing in the rulebook says that. Great weapons carry two special rules: Uses Two Hands and Always Strikes Last. ASL is as I described it above. The idea that it strikes last regardless must be a holdover from 7th (which I never played).

Unless I'm reading it wrong and/or missing something, you should be able to get Great Weapons to strike on Initiative (with the right spells/items).


EDIT: as for your army. I know how much fun it can be to run a Steggy, but I'd suggest dropping it in favor of an additional salamander and adding another kroxigor and more skinks to your third skrox unit. With the remaining points you should be able to add your chameleons or beef up your sarus or temple guard.
