1 x Slann Mage-Priest
Magic Items
Obsidian Amulet Keep it if you want to, you can never have too much magic resistance.
Book of Ashur This is too expensive and not worth using in my opinion. Your slann will rule the magic phase without this.
Four Disciplines of the Acients Take the focus of mystery, focused rumination, and becalming cogitation. Those are all you need.
You should also make the slann your BSB with the standard of discipline. The Temple Guard unit will not break with this combo.

Use any points that you save on more salamanders and maybe some chameleons. You really will not encounter any war machines as the Beastmen do not have any. Hope this helped.

thank you i made the changes but i don't know what items to give in my slann and what lore should i use :S

 

[Arli]

I always give my slann cupped hands of the old ones. Regardless of the lore I take. Even if I take the Lore of Life, I have been known to fail my roll for throne of vines. So I like to have the extra protection that the cupped hands offers.

I usually just give him the cupped hands and that is it. You can throw a magic resistance item in ther eif you want.

As far as lore goes, you probably will benefit most from either light or life. Light will allow you to overcome the low I of the saurus and TG. It will also potentially allow you to double their charge range. If your opponent brings death or shadow magic, Light may be the way to go. Life, on the other hand will allow you to heal your units and make them tougher. You also will be able to use the dweller below spell to decimate large units of beastmen.

iam thinking to play lore of light .. but i also thinking if carnosaur is good choice or to use tehenhauin..
