8th Ed. 500 points Skink list

[Haemoglobin]

So here goes:

Hero:

Skink Chief with
Light armour
Shield
Javelins
Dagger of Sotek

Core:

2 x 10 Skink Skirmishers
19 x Skink Cohorts + musician + standard bearer

Rare:

2 x Salamander + extra handler (seperate units)

The total sum of that is 501 points, and I know that the pple in my club wont make a point of that

I realise that this list lacks defense. No mage for dispelling (allthough spells shouldnt be a big problem at 500 points) and the best armor save is 5+. Not to mention all that T2 models. It is a quite mobile force though, with alot of poisoned stuff flying around

Tell me what you guys think about it.

At 500 points, I would drop a unit of skirmishers and add a unit of chameleons. I know that makes them expensive, but I think it would be worth it to get the scouts into your opponents back field.

 

[Khakorlot]

I may be wrong but can't you only have 15% of army points in your rares, meaning that you'd have to drop one sallie and both extra handlers?

 

[Haemoglobin]

Ah yes too many points on Rare choices, it cant be up to 25%. So basically scratch a Sallie, add 10 Skink skirmishers or 6 Chameleons and 2 Skinks for in the Cohort. Ill go with chameleons, because they can help kill warmachines which wont have a hard time nuking the Skink Cohort.

New Armylist:

you could also use the points from the sally to get a kroxigor in that big cohort, might be nice to have some high strenght attacks at your disposal.

didn't you think about a L2 priest instead of the chief. I know, he's more expensive, but can be very nasty in small games at the same time he gives you a better dispel chance against others.
