First the list;
Lords:
Slann w/Lore of Metal, 'Focus of Mystery', 'Unfathomable Presence', Bane Head
General and BSB, Standard of Discipline
Metal already does a great job killing things Saurus can't grind to death in combat ie heavy armour, and the Cataclysm spells are amazingly good. Ld10 aura and re-rolls means he keeps the phalanx of TG and flanking Saurus in line.
Slann w/Lore of Shadow, 'Focus of Mystery', 'Unfathomable Presence', Cupped Hands
Goes with the Eternal Flame unit of TG, focuses on hexing units. The 'Dominance' spell for this guy is flat-out insane, opponents will cry with frustration if you manage to get it off
Heroes:
Level 1 Skink Priest, EOTG, Cube of Darkness, Charmed Shield
Would go to Level 2 but can't afford it. Place him on a Fulcrum, block the first cannon shot with the shield. His job is to cast 'Fantastic Foresight' before everyone else starts casting, and then 'Four Winds' to push back enemy advances/re-direct vortices and blow enemy Wizards off their Fulcrums. Also, Cube comes in handy for getting rid of the many RIP spells going off.
Scar-Vet w/Sword of the Hornet, Dragonhelm, light armour, shield, Talisman of Protection
Scar Vet w/Sword of Swift Striking, Gamblers Armour, shield, Dragonbane Gem
These guys join the Temple Guard units and take down enemy characters/monsters.
Special:
6 x Camo Skinks
Warmachine assassins. Might replace them with another Salamander in Rare if I take Eagles
Musician, 18 x Temple Guard
Joins the Metal Slann, guards one of the Fulcrums
Standard Bearer w/Banner of Eternal Flame, Musician, 17 x Temple Guard
Sits with the Shadow Slann and guards the other Fulcrum
Core:
(2) Standard Bearer, Musician, 18 x Saurus
Guard the flanks of the Temple Guard and counter-charge with them if they need more bodies
(4) 10 x Skinks w/blowpipes
Anti-monster dakka, and screening to deny charges on the TG and Saurus. Will most likely die fairly early on, but hopefully I knock out a Giant before they perish
Rare:
Salamander w/3 x Skink Handlers
Anti-cavlary artillery, positioned near the Fulcrums to drop onto assault units that come near. Can always Summon more if he dies/I need more firepower
I've got 750 to spend on magical gear and monsters. Will probably go for;
- Level 4 Zoat
Life caster to camp a Fulcrum. If need be, I can also attach him to a pack of Cold Ones for a buffed cavalry-style assault unit
Then either
- Arabyan Puzzlebox
Put on Zoat to make him better
- Living Deadwood staff
Create more forest, turns all forests into very dangerous Blood Forests thus evicting enemy casters from them
or
- 4 x Great Eagles w/Swiftsense+Blood of the Flame Roc
Replaces/supports the Camo Skinks in getting rid of enemy warmachines and monsters. Makes a pretty decent assault unit, hopefully if they're Unbound it'll be in enemy lines
or
- 20-30 Cold Ones
Bodyguard to the Zoat to get him close to enemy lines to drop a 'Dwellers' on an important unit. Can split them up into several smaller packs for harassment if I want, but they're easier to buff in one unit
