AoS 500 pts list ideas

[oakerpaints]

Hello!

I've been thinking for two lists for fast games, what do you think of?

IDEA 1:
Skink Starpriest
Saurus Oldblood (Celestite Warblade)
Skinks x10 (Meteoric Javelins & Star Bucklers)
Skinks x10 (Meteoric Javelins & Star Bucklers)
Troglodon
480pts

IDEA 2:
Skink Starpriest
Skinks x10 (Meteoric Javelins & Star Bucklers)
Skinks x10 (Meteoric Javelins & Star Bucklers)
Bastiladon (Solar Engine)
500pts

I guess my biggest concern is that for things like slow grow campaigns they don't normally* (from like the 3 I've heard about) let you have behemoths until 1k.

But If your opponent is on board.

From my experience with low point games having the extra heroes can help out in certain scenarios, ie hero only objectives that give escalating points for turns held.
But also, it's hard to lose when your opponent's army is shot to death... I still think I'd go with your first list with the OldBlood & trogoladon. I would think it gives you more flexibility across the various scenarios. Plus more spells!

That's what Iwas thinking, more the second one it's effective but limitant, thanks!

If they don't allow Behemoth at 500pts then I recommend something like this:


Seraphon
-Coalesced
-Koatl's Claw

Heroes:
Skink Priest (70)
-General
-Master of Star Rituals
-Artefact: Eviscerating Blade

Battleline:
10x Skinks (60)
-Blowpipes & Clubs
5x Saurus Knights (100)
-Lances

Units:
12x Salamander Hunting Pack (240)

Or

Seraphon
-Coalesced
-Koatl's Claw

Leaders:
Scar-Veteran on Cold One (110)
-General
-Command Trait: Dominant Predator
-Arefact: Eviscerating Blade

Battleline:
10x Saurus Knights (200)
-Lances
5x Saurus Knights (100)
-Blades

Units:
3x Terradon Riders (90)
-Sunleech Bolas

500/500

I like this one, but why 5 Knights with blades and not lances?

Grrr, Imrahil

welcome back.

"full command" doesnt exactly matter any more. 1 in 5 can be drums, and 1 in 5 can be banner. since they are treated as having the same loadout as the non-command units, theres no reason not to max them out.

make sure you have 3 handlers with that salamander, as they are together on the warscroll now.

have fun!
