8th Ed. 2k Carni List

[Und3rDog6750]

Evening all

This is my first post here although ive been playing lizards since 3rd or 4th edition cant remember know lol. Ive decided to try get some reasonable and consistnat results using the carnasaur as its prob my favorite model in the warhammer range

The list will be as follows, i might be out on points slightly as i did this list from memory using units etc that i regularly field.

Questions comments and queries would be very much apprichiated

Lords

Old Blood, Carnasaur, armour of destiny, dawn stone, venom of the firefly frog, great weapon/hand weapon shield (not sure which to choose yet?)

Heros

Skink priest lvl 2, Plaque of dominion, engine of the gods

Core

25 saurus with hand weapons and full command

16 skinks 2 kroxigor and full command

10 skinks

Speacial

20 Temple Guard

Rare

Salamander extra handler

Salamander extra handler

So the idea is to try resist charging head long into combat with the carni and use terrain to get in a flank charge in conjunction with the saurus taking the front, same with the steg and temple guard in classic hammer anvil tactics.

The skrox unit is mainly harrasment as the pose a formidable threat to flight armoured units and monsters alike.

The 10 strong cohort is for redirecting as these units are worth there weight in gold for 50 points, better than high elf great eagles in my own oppinion.

The salamanders do what they say on the tin, burn everything and anythng, i have them seperate to also use as redirectors as a mobile 12" move and fire platform.

Thats pretty much it folks ive started repainting my units so pictures will be up soon for critisicm as well thanks for the time taken to read this.

Looks good, you seem to have missed your steg out of your list at the top. I'm assuming ones in there since you talk about it below.

A word of warning with the sallies, you say you will burn anything and everything. Pick your target units carefully with them since its easy to make poor use of their flame template attacks. Avoid high toughness/multi wound/large base units like the plague with them. Identify units away from gen/bsb that are more likely to panic too, they should be your prime targets. Don't get me wrong, they are an amazing unit for their points. Its just they need using wisely or they will do very little which is what ive found out.

Yea have never thought of picking my targets like that with my sallies, its my first time using them ever in about 10 years of play haha.

From what ive read on this site ive been missing out so decided to try them out

With the steg i was refering to was actually the EotG's. Keeping it back and only using it for the crucial flank chargers.

Thanks for the advice though

Will have pictures up tomorrow of my repainted army (WIP)
