AoS Coalesced TL TQ contemplation

[Slikus Vaw]

So I'm trying to optimize my coalesced TL TQ nd unsure between 2 setups. Also any suggestions would be much appreciated. I'm really liking the new book so much veriety of ways to play with strong combos with each play style. Haven't chose artefacts yet

I could just drop the bound part on the pendulum on the first list nd also change the steg chief to EotG to change out the battleline steg nd take another basti(for shooting twice buff[donno if it's good yet])

I'm partial to the double Bastiladon list. Being able to shoot those lasers twice is really great.

As it stands EotG is a better carrier for something like the Sacred Steg Helm because it affects all his attacks. I like list 2 but maybe drop down to 6 kroxigors and go 20-20-10 with the skinks to help your objective game. Kroxigors are super killy now especially in TQUAKE. They have about the same killing power as Necropolis Stalkers. So any more than 6 would be pure overkill.

Skink chief is better than EotG because the artifact specifies that it affects the mount and not the hero, and the crew of the chief is part of the mount, so it gives an extra attack to the flamers/bow, and the javalins, in addition to the horns, jaws and stomps

I wouldn't consider playing double Basti's without a Skink Priest. +1 to hit is huge, especially when firing twice. You also will have a hard time screening and holding objective with that low of a model count. Skink's bravery blows in Coalesced. Considering moving some points around to get more out of your Bastis (+1 to hit and Starpriest buff) and add some more bodies.

9xKroxigors seems like great fun though, but I think getting more buffs for Bastis would be better. Just my opinion!
