AoS Escalation league, 1200 points

[Lizerd]

Game one tomorrow! Expect a battle report soon

 

[Wilhelm Stürmer]

Looking forward to it. If you can, get some pictures.

 

[Lizerd]

Definetly will try if I am allowed. Anyways wish me luck

It turned out to be 400 points, but I think I have a last minute idea

 

[Killer Angel]

400 pts? At this point it would be better 300 with skirmish rules...

An army at 300...
Idk, maybe Starpriest, stegadon, 10 skinks, 1 razordon

 

[Lizerd]

Well it’s today! Just rolled out of bed, so in about 4 hours it begins

 

[Lizerd]

Battle report is in!

 

[Lizerd]

Alright the second week of battles were done and was defeated all three times from bad luck and opponents who knew what they were doing. Anyways the Third week is coming and I have an idea

Allegiance: Seraphon
Mortal Realm: Ghur

Leaders
Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (240)
- General

- Artefact: Blade of Realities

Battleline
5 x Saurus Knights (90)

5 x Saurus Knights (90)

Allies: 0 / 400
Wounds: 49

 

[Killer Angel]

I've got a couple of ideas to improve it... let me think a little. Stay tuned.

 

[Lizerd]

Cool because right now I am in school

 

[Killer Angel]

I suppose the Realm of Ghur is fixed.

I was thinking: the Sunblood is nice, but you have a carnosaur, three units of riders… the slow sunblood will easily find himself alone.

How about a Starpriest?
you will gain: bonuses from the Serpent's staff; chance to unbind; Summon Starlight (enjoy your carnosaur with -2 to be hit).
This would free 60 points (40 + 20) for maybe a unit of skinks

 

[Lizerd]

I like the idea of Skinks, butttt sadly I have zero skinks. I do like the idea of swapping the sunblood for a starpriest. Ghur can be changed, however as the oldblood on carno was really unlucky with saves I’m thinking of going more defensive for carnosaurs.

 

[Killer Angel]

I like the idea of Skinks, butttt sadly I have zero skinks.

Right, you don't.

Oh well, you can use 50 pts for an extra command point, and exploit a multiple use of saurian savagery (they stack)

 

[Lizerd]

Oh dang that actually works. So with the battalion that gives me 3 command points which I can put to really good use, much to the terror of my opponents.

 

[LizardWizard]

How much are you allowed to change around your list? Are you allowed to write any list for 800 as long as you maintain your factions?

 

[Lizerd]

Yeah I can change my faction and such, I could write any list. However I only have seraphon.

 

[LizardWizard]

If there is not a lot of mortal wound spam in the league, then perhaps something similar to this:

Allegiance: Seraphon
- Mortal Realm: Ulgu

LEADERS:
Skink Starpriest (80)
- General
- Command Trait : Master of Star Rituals
- Artefact : Miasmatic Blade
Saurus Eternity Warden (140)
- Artefact : Spellmirror

UNITS:
10 x Saurus Guard (180)
5 x Saurus Guard (90)
5 x Saurus Guard (90)
10 x Skinks (60)
- Boltspitters & Star Bucklers

BATTALIONS:
Eternal Starhost (150)

TOTAL: 790/800
EXTRA COMMAND POINTS: 1
WOUNDS: 41

The list could also be modified by dropping the 10x Guard to 5x and removing the Skinks to bring 4x Razordons. Realm of Hysh is also a good alternative to gain Lense of Refraction.

 

[LizardWizard]

Alternatively

Allegiance: Seraphon
- Mortal Realm: Ulgu

LEADERS:
Skink Starpriest (80)
- General
- Command Trait : Master of Star Rituals
- Artefact : Miasmatic Blade

UNITS:
6 x Ripperdactyl Riders (280)
10 x Skinks (60)
- Boltspitters & Star Bucklers
10 x Skinks (60)
- Boltspitters & Star Bucklers
3 x Razordons (120)

BATTALIONS:
Shadowstrike Starhost (180)

TOTAL: 780/800
EXTRA COMMAND POINTS: 1
WOUNDS: 51

@LizardWizard

Sorry, but AFAIK those are the models actually owned by @Lizerd :

I do luckily have a skink starpriest. I currently have a saurus oldblood on carnosaur, a saurus oldblood, a skink starpriest, 12 warriors, and 8 knights. Come spring break I will have an additional 12 warriors, a scar vet on carnosaur, a troglodon, 4 more celestial swarms, 7 more knights and a scar vet on cold one.

which leaves us with very little room.

 

[Lizerd]

The pain of being a noob. Good news I did get another start collecting however I have yet to invest much in skinks.


Don’t kill me, I’m just really biased to the saurus

 

[Lizerd]

Tomorrow is the day, wish me luck!
