8th Ed. 2k battle versus rats on Saturday

[Arli]

I have a 2k battle against rats on Saturday. I am torn between two lists. One with a Old blood on Carnosaur and another with everyone's favorite frog. Here are the lists:

Carnosaur list:
Lord:
Old Blood on Carnosaur
extra hand weapon
glittering scales
Aura of Quetzl
Crown of command

heroes:
Skink chief on Ancient Steg with War spear BSB

Skink Priest plaque of tepok (only magic in the list)

Core:
Saurus warriors x 21 full command with spear

Skink cohorts x11 with krox and full command x2

Special
Chameleon x 6
Chameleon x 7

Rare:
2 units of 2 Salamanders with extra snack



Now the Slann List...
Lord:

Slann BSB with banner of discipline
Cupped hands
Becalming Cogitation
Focus of Mystery
Focus Rumination
Lore of Life probably, but I do like Light as well (Thought about shadow though)

Heroes:

Scar vet
gold sigil Sword
Glittering scales


Skink Chief Javelin
Fencers blades
venom of the firefly frog

Core:
Saurus warriors x 27 full command (spear-first time that I will be trying them out in 8th without HW for the parry save) the scar vet goes in this unit
Skink cohorts x 23 with full command

Special:
Temple Guard x 20 full command (Huanchi's banner)

Chameleon skink 2 units of 6


Rare:

Salamander x2 with extra snack

Salamander x 1 with extra snack



I am hesitant to take the Carnosaur list because of the lack of magic in that unit. However, the Skaven player is going to be expecting me to take a Slann. I tried out the skink chief last week and he worked amazingly well against HE. The skink cheif also gives the carnosaur a better chance of getting into close combat. Hopefully, my chameleons will take care of any warp fire cannons.

What do you guys think?

 

[Gor-rok]

Couple questions: 1) Are you expecting any Abominations, and 2) If so, what's your plan for dealing with them?

They throw a wrench in the gears of my plan unless I prep for them, and even then they cause trouble.

 

[Arli]

No, he normally does not play any abominations. I may see a doom wheel or something like a warpfire cannon.

 

[Sao]

Get rid of the extra hand weapon on the Carno Old Blood. +1 attack is specifically for models on foot.
So either a halbard or spear.


And HPA are just annoying as fook. And I'm going to a tourny this evening through to saturday (Warhammer World again yay!) and with the new release of that model.....big bad hairy b*ll*cks
