Hi all first time posting here. This is a quick little 750 point army I wipped up as a starting point.
Its been a few years since I last played and it was 40K back then so my knowledge of the current game is very limited. (Magic! what?)

Skink Priest

Skink Chief
Terradon, Bane Head, Staff of the Lost Sun, Light Armour and Shield


20 Saurus Warriors,Spears

12 Skink Skirmishers. Blowpipes

3 Terradon Riders

Razordon or Salamander,Extra Handler

698 points.

Originally I was running 2 dispel scrolls on the priest but came to my attention I cant do that so I'm not to sure as to how best outfit him. Hence the 52 extra points needing to be spent.
 
drop both skink characters and pick up a tooled out scar vet or old blood. They absolutely wreck things in small games.

If you really want the priest make him lvl 2 and give him a dispel scroll or the cube of darkness. take the signature spell from heavens and then whatever other spell he rolls. Giving things -1 to hit against that saurus block = win.

Other than that its pretty solid. 20 saurus is hard to dislodge in small point games.
 
The main reason in taking the priest was as a Magic Defence and unit buffer so I'd rather keep him in. The Skink chief was just an idea I was toying with to fill in the points. However im considering trying to squeeze in a Skink/Krox unit.

Edit: New List

Skink Priest, Level 2, Cube of Darkness.

20 Saurus Warriors, Spears (No Command)

12 Skinks, Kroxigor

12 Skink Skirmishers, Blowpipes

3 Terradons

Salamander, Extra Handler

(If im post to many lists etc tell me and ill delete the older ones)
 
the list seem fairly good to me. just remember to deploy saurus 6 wide, and not 5. you wont regret the loss of ranks ;)

also, remember that the game isnt really balanced too well for games below 2000 pts (2400 might be even better). so if it is not too much fun in the beginning, dont despair :D
 
Yes I've noticed WHFB is generally much larger points, but If i dont start small Ill be overwhelmed and give up.

Also looking at and army of 40 Saurus with spears 6 cam skinks and Scar vet on a cold one. Undecided on which Ill go.
 
more units=more fun. at 750 points, even a unit of 10 saurus (or rather sevaral of those) could preform very well.
