8th Ed. Building My First Lists (1000 points)

[scalesy]

1000 Point List
Lords
Saurus Oldblood
shield.

Heroes
Skink Priest
Level 2 Wizard

Core
25 Saurus Warriors
Saurus Champion; Musician; Standard Bearer.

11 Skink Skirmishers
Skink Skirmisher Brave.

Special
14 Temple Guard
Revered Guardian; Musician; Standard Bearer.

A bit of clarification:
14 Temple Guard because I intend to put the Oldblood in there. 11 Skink Skirmishers because that's the number of skinks I have and I want a tiny bit of shooty in the army.

That's a total of 900 points, so I can add 100 points in some combination of the following this (given the models I have)

• Magic Items on Priest / Oldblood

• Up to 9 more Saurus Warriors

• Up to 6 more Temple Guard

• Remove some points somewhere and put in CoC

Any thoughts? I'm going to play my first lizard games this weekend and play around with some lists
I'll let you all know how they go!

for 1000, take out the oldblood

you get a scar vet with some cool gears, and for 1000 pts, a scar vet is a toughnut to crack

your next purchase or conversion shoul dbe chameleons
try making the temple guard a bit bigger for the remainder of your points

Why would you suggest them over something else?

So if I add 5 Temple Guard, one more Saurus and make the OldBlood A Scar-Vet, it looks like this. Then I have 62 points of Magic Items I can split between my Heroes.

If I put the Banner of Eternal Flame on the unit of TG to get flame attacks on the unit, would it apply to my SV in with them? and if so... should I skip the burning blade?

EDIT: Just reread the flaming attacks rules. Screw that.

Should I be running a BSB?

I wouldn't take the temple guard at 1000 points: they're quite expensive, and sauri are enough powerful in my opinion. I'd prefer to have points for chameleon skinks or salamanders. My advice is to drop the temple guards for another unit of 20 sauri, or make a sigle unit composed by 30 sauri and take more skink skirmishers or chameleon skinks. You also could drop your scar vet to have more points for the units. A skrox cohort, in example, would be great against almost everything (elite fighers and enemy heroes too)
