Howdy!

I had a good friend challenge me to put together a simple 3k list, and this is what I came up with.



Slann (General)

Loremaster - Life, Becalming, and Rumination



Slann

Loremaster - Shadow, Higher state.

Cupped Hands


Skink Chief - BSB on a regular Stegadon w/ Sun Standard




CORE:


30 x Saurus w/ Spears, Banner and Musician

16 Skinks w/ 2 Krox, Standard

16 Skinks w/ 2 Krox, Standard



SPECIAL:


26 x Temple Guard ( Life goes in here ), Full Command, Plaque of Domination

6 x Cham Skinks

6 x Cham Skinks

6 x Cham Skinks


RARE:

Ancient Steg

Salamander w/ extra handler

Salamander w/ extra handler


All this comes to a mighty 2996 pts.

My thoughts were as such for the army; I have 2 large blocks of infantry to help hold the line, with 2 smaller hammers ( Skrox), and enough staying power between life and Cold blood for my stegs to get to where they need to.

Life slann sits in the TG unit with Throne up for Misscast protection, Shadow Slann sits somewhere and makes everyone miserable. With my BSB on a large mount it now has an 18" range, Cham skinks eat war machines / lone characters / greater daemons ( and woe betide the last player to think their Greater Daemon of Slannesh was totally fine out in the open. TURN 1 Baby! ) aaaaaaand yeah, Salamanders to eat up yummy high armour targets.


C & C welcome :D

I think I would add another unit of chameleons and make the sallies 2 units of 2. Other than that, all is good. The extra unit of chameleons to distract from anything that targets your BSB.
 
Normally one of my Slann would be the BSB, but due to the points and percentages, they have to almost be bare bones. I think I have 5 points to play with, and right now I'm sold on their abilities.

As for the 2 groups of 2 sallies, defiantly a good idea, I just found myself short of points, and I think another steg would probably provide that great hitting power over just 2 more sallies.

Thats a good idea, but the huge steg bsb is pretty cool
 
From personal experience I hate running dual slann. They both can use an entire dice pool by themselves, A tooled up combat old blood would probably be better than a second slann.
 
I think I agree with ShivanAngel, exchange the shadow slann for a Oldblood.
Even if skink chiefs only have Ld 8, rather than the slanns Ld9, I´d make the mounted chief army general and the slann BSB. this way your inspiring presans! increase to 18' instead of 12'

cheeers!
 
The inspiring presense is barely used in our lizzie army though.
The only thing under leadership 8 are salamanders and chamo skinks
(I don't use skirmishers anymore)
So I'd argue that the BSB with the larger range is more useful.
 
I prefer 5 4+ warded wounds over 2 2+ AS wounds. Also. current bsb is IMHO too vulnerable to templates and common shooting

give cupped hands to other slann, take plaque of +1 spell and bsb instead of Loremaster. I would also drop stega and take moar saurus warriors. Combine skinks and drop couple Kroxies,
 
with my double slann lists, i normally run
slann: focus, becalming, rumination, bsb, dispel
slann: rumination, shield, plaque

thats 745 pts. it gives you a nullifying slann and a "mobile" slann with a 2+ ward against ranged attacks.

just my 2c
