8th Ed. Going to my first Fantasy Tournamnet in 8th iwth Lizzies

[Grant Theft Auto]

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums but I've been playing Fantasy for awhile now. This upcoming weekend i decided to play a local tournament nearby. The last time I played in a Fantasy tournament was 6th edition, this is the first time I'm playing in a comp event though. Here's the system for comp they're using:

Here's what I have constructed so far I seem to be in the range for comp but I wasn't extremely sure if I really was. By the way the tournament is bigger than normal (2999pts), overall I'm just looking for some advise and some help on how I can strengthen my list. I've had a couple test games with it and it seems o.k but I don't really know, not being a fantasy tournament player I don't know what to really expect. Here's my list:

Slann
-Channeling Staff, Dragonbane Gem, Arabyan Carpet, BSB, Standard of Discipline
-Focus of Mystery, Harmonic Convergence, Reservoir of Eldrictch Energy, Soul of Stone

Scar Vet
- Light Armour, Shield, Gold Sigil Sword, Crown of Command

Tetto'eko

Skink Priest
-Lv 2, Cloak of Feathers

Skink Priest
-Lv 2, Dispel Scroll, Ironcurse Icon

20 Temple Guard

Any comment or suggestions would really be helpful

I'm afraid your Slann can't use the Arabian Carpet since he's not "on foot". His entry in our armybook clearly states this.

So unless the comp ruled this one out your build is illegal.

I also think the lvl2s on your priests are highly redundand. You already have 11 Spells from your Slann and Tetto'ecko alone + the Solar Engine. That's more Spells than you will ever be able to cast.

Drop the lvls and the Carpet and give your ScarVet some better protection. A 3+ only doesn't get him very far... I find this far more important than the Gold Sigil Sword.

Apart from that I think the list is alright, I like the Skrox darts.

Wow I didn't even see that the first time, well that changes things

If I took out the skink priest what would you put in instead?

Also do you think that cold one riders are worth it or should I bring my saurus units up in size?

I think one lvl1 Priest with scroll is totally fine. Also it's nice to have acces to Wyssan's.

If you want to take out the other Priest I'd definately get a Cowboy. Just the usual GW 1+ rerollable. They are soooo versatile.

SCOR can be alright in a small unit of 5 to run down a flank. I don't think the spears are worth the cost. In larger units I feel they just don't keep up to other armies knights. Don't have that much experience with them I have to say though.

I have had my SCoR die to the following:

Khorne chaos warriors in numbers of 10.

Swordmasters of Hoeth.

str 4 arrows.


Basically, anytime the str shows a 4 instead of a 3 they won't be winning combat, they will be losing horrendously. I did not choose that fight against swordmasters myself, but even with a 4+ save after str is deducted they go down like flies, they didn't have to flee, they just died.

They probably have value as chaff clearers or core unit flankers - i hope, or else my time spent painting them is a complete waste.

I tried the lone saurus cowboy but I couldn't really find something to take out, the two dispel scrolls will come in handy in these big games I think.

What do you guys think
