8th Ed. Double Slann for 'Ard Boyz

[raptor8610]

Hi everybody, this is just a list I would only use for 'ard boyz because I could never imagine using 2 Slann in a friendly game this size. I will put the Slann w/Life in the TG unit and have the other one hover about sniping war machines, steam tanks, or hexing enemy units. I figure if I have even 6-7 power dice a turn with each Slann getting an extra dice per spell it should cause my opponent to keep guessing what is coming next.

Why luckstone? What AS does the Skink Priest have? does it's effect pass onto the Ancient Stegadon?

Why equip with Javelin/Shields over blowpipes? I have seen people do this and I'm wondering why. 2x poison attacks on blowpipes seem like a good thing to me. Am I missing something?

The main reason for javlins over blowpipes is that most of the time I will be only firing one shot with the the blowpipes or else I will be needing 7's to hit (-1 moving,-1 multi-shot, -1 long range). The javlins are quick to fire and shields give them a ward save when charged.

The reason for luckstone is that the A.steg gives the skink priest a 2+ armour along with the fact that only 1in6 hits from shooting hit the priest
