1 old one foot
1 tiktaq-to
1 steg with great bow

My nephew has tomb kings and so far he has:

1 screaming catapult

My friend plays dwarfs and so far has:

1 miners box
1 gyrocopter
1 organ gun
1 grudge thrower
1 ballista don't know the name

So that's it so far any ideas or comments please help

Organ gun is heavy pain. I'd advise proxying some normal skinks as Chameleon skinks to go war machine hunting against all the war machines. 2 squads of 5 Dose me dine at 1.5 / 2k

The bow on the stegadon is pretty poor imo. Giant blowpipes are sweet though. I actually have the blowpipes and giant bow on my stegadon, again though you could simply not play WYSIWYG

Without a Slann, you'll need the best magic that you can get. Teto is pretty good. Lets you take an Oldblood lord aswell, which can be really fun and should rip stuff up!

Hope I helped somewhat XD

Ok well I checked and im just under 3k without any maguc items I do intend too get a slann soon also some sallys and chamos
Im new too all this so I donr now what the wymca stuff ment I know it didnt say that byt it sounded fun ;p

Ah lol sorry, shouldve explained. WYSIWYG means What You See Is What You Get

Like if you have a spear on the model, that model HAS to use a spear XD

It should be noted that the WYSIWYG rule applies primarily to 40k and very loosely to fantasy. I think it almost falls into a personal preference. Myself, I think it is pretty lenient and allow some flexibility. For example, I have some skinks that are converted having a blowpipe in their hand and a shield and javelin on their back. the weapons are their if I decide to use the javelin instead of the blow pipe (which I do use most of the time).

In friendly games, it does not really matter. In a tournament setting, it could be an issue.
