8th Ed. 3200 points, my plan to break in the custom dice with FIRE!

[Scalenex]

I got fancy wound counters for dinosaurs, d3 dice with Lizard glyph like numbers, and artillery dice with illustrations for Salamanders and Razordons.

I want to use them as much as possible in my next game. I'm fielding four Salamanders and three Razordons. In theory I could field six Salamanders but I think four Salamanders in three units is good enough. I have six d3s. My only chance to need that many on one roll is to take a Fire Slann and hope I get Piercing Bolts of Burning. Anyway with three Salamander units, a Fire Slann seems fitting, so I thinking I'll make that the theme of the whole army.

I would have liked to squeeze in more BIG dinosaurs but I think that will have to be my next army. Even at 3000, points are not infinite.

I'm probably going to play Orcs and Goblins and since I had some bad experiences with Gork's wandering foot last battle, I'm breaking out the Obsidian.

Slann, BSB, Standard of Discipline, Lore of Fire, Obsidian Lodestone, Iron Curse Icon, Harmonic Convergence, Channeling Staff, Reservoir of Eldritch Energy, Channeling Staff
Saurus Oldblood, Glittering Scales, Fencer's Blades, Potion of Speed, Obsidian Talisman

Scar Veteran, Armor of Destiny, Cold One, Great Weapon (something on this list needs to hit at high Strength)
Skink Priest, L1 Lore of Beasts (or maybe Heavens for war machine control), Dispel Scroll, Ruby Ring of Ruin.

39 Sword and board Saurus Warriors with FC
20 Cohort Skinks with FC (because I take them on every list and they rarely let me down)
13 Javelin Skirmishers with Patrol leader (to protect Skink Priest)
10 Blowpipe Skirmishers (monster hunters)
10 Javelin Skirmishers (to do whatever I feel like telling them unless they run away)

36 Temple Guard, FC, Warrior Bane, Banner of Eternal Flame
3 Terradon Riders, Fireleech Bolas

3 Razordons
2 Salamanders with extra Snack
1 Salamander with extra snack
1 Salamander with extra snack

I used fire to fight OnG before.

Worked like a charm, night gobbo's dinnae want to move anywhere with a flame cage and his trolls died to a couple of fireballs.

The game has been boosted from 3000 to 3200 points, new list is as follows

The same basic principles apply, I added a Ripper chief and a discipline on my Slann and an extra Salamander. other changes are basically points shift, so I could hit 3200 points on the nose. I am OCD about spending every last point even if some of the points expenditures don't make sense like a Terradon rider champion.

Slann, BSB, Standard of Discipline, Lore of Fire, Obsidian Lodestone, Iron Curse Icon, Harmonic Convergence, Channeling Staff, Reservoir of Eldritch Energy, Soul of Stone, Channeling Staff
Saurus Oldblood, Glittering Scales, Fencer's Blades, Potion of Speed, Obsidian Amulet

Scar Veteran, Armor of Destiny, Cold One, Great Weapon (something on this list needs to hit at high Strength)
Skink Priest, L1 Lore of Beasts (or maybe Heavens for war machine control), Dispel Scroll, Ruby Ring of Ruin.
Skink Chief, Charmed Shield, Egg of Quango, Ripperdactyl, Spear, light armor

38 Sword and board Saurus Warriors with FC
20 Cohort Skinks with FC (because I take them on every list and they rarely let me down)
13 Javelin Skirmishers with Patrol leader (to protect Skink Priest)
10 Blowpipe Skirmishers (monster hunters)
10 Javelin Skirmishers (to do whatever I feel like telling them unless they run away)

37 Temple Guard, FC, Warrior Bane, Banner of Eternal Flame
3 Terradon Riders, Brave, Fireleech Bolas

I like it

Too bad we don't have the Burning Blade of Chotec anymore. It would be a welcome addition to your list. Let us know how it goes! 3200 ought to be a good time.
