8th Ed. 3000 list friendly against o&g

[Idura]

Just finished my 3k list against O&G tomorrow, thought i'd share it and tell you all how it went with a battle report with pictures tomorrow .

This is my first 3k list and no matter how i hard i tried i can't fit an ob carnosaur together with a Slann in a 750 lord cap . Just not enough points to get them the items they need imo... If you do have a suggestion please let me know.

Slann Mage Priest
Rumination, Mystery, Becalming
Bsb

This is pretty much the models i possess at the moment. I can add a carno, 5 cold one cav(zzz) and 2 razordons thats pretty much it. Wish me luck!

I like the list mate, i run something similar at this level.

Against O&G i'd probably run lore of Life, having said that i rarely change my slaans lore so not used light very often, but i'd say T8 saurus will have a field day against them, goblins especially, the orcs won't fair much better.

i'd keep it the list as is mate

Yeah, i've run life around 90% of my games... I tried light out a few times and i really like it WHEN you do get the "i-will-kick-your-ass-spells" in at a critical moment. Life is more of nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah you cant kill me!

Only problem is i need to speedpaint 12 more skink skirmishers today . Better get going...

 

[mixer86]

good luck, let us know how the battle goes

Lost a pretty close battle . Videotaped summaries of every turn which i will upload as a battle report when vdub manages to compress a file under 2gb .

Basicly it went really well in the first turns... Stegadon lived for more then two turns, i bombed down a giant early with terradons and basicly had the upper hand most of the time... until Grimgor said he wanted to play .

I forgot alot in the battle as well... i forgot i had spears on saurus for 2-3 rounds... forgot shooting phase with chameleons for a round or two as well... bah Video will be up when i finish compressing it .

I would have used lore of light with slann, Life its too defensive lore IMO. Life has only 2 spells that enemy wants to dispell (dwellurz, +4T)

 

[Idura]

well, i did use light... i actually had both timewarp and speed of light going when the black orcs entered my temple guard, Dice goddess didnt approve, and grimgor is one tough soab :<.
