8th Ed. Hero Builds

[L1qw1d]

There's a guy on D. net who thought of a BRILLIANT idea- Ask people what their favourite build was for a Hero. Lizzies are WAY more diverse on this (we have a Master. or a Sorceress. or a Death Hag, but those are usually just Cauldron of Blood things).

So I would put it to you:

What is your fave Hero Build for a Saurus, Priest and/or Chief (with cost)?

Why?

 

[Puhnupetteri]

Well i take usually 2x Scar Veterans and mount both of them on cold ones

I was accually going to make guide threat about this later if i have energy

I made up with this plan when i was playing againts High elves. My friend made 9 strong cavalry unit with lance and razordonbanner and i luckily had 1 scar vet in my army. I charged with scar vet on enemy and killed almost whole squad with it

So here is my 2 build for scar veteran:
Scar vet 169 pts - Cold one, GW,Shield, Gambler armor, Dawnstone and that potion wich gives you +1 Attack and immune to psychology

Scar vet 169 pts Cold one, GW, Dragonhelm, Crown of command, and that amulet that allows you to reroll 1 failed armor test

As for skink chief i dont play him so no opinion here

Shaman
Buffed on steg: Tepok, EOTG, Dragonbanegem, LVL 2
Buffed on foot: Flying, lvl 2
Unbuffed: Dispell scroll or cube of darkness (Only carrier)

Scar Vet BSB -
Armour of Destiny
Shield

I don't think I nessisarily need a magic BSB and I'd rather my BSB stick around. His base stats are good enough to hold his own in a fight so I got for max protection. 2+AS, 4+WS is pretty solid

Scar Vet -
Ogre blade
Dragon Helm
Light Armour
Shield

2+AS, 2+WS vs. flaming. Scar vets are initiative 3 which means he goes before Dwarves, Saurus, Undead, Hydra and simultanious against everything else except heros/lords and elves. He's strength 7 too so he's going to cut through armour like butter and you don't automatically strike last.

Skink Chief BSB -
Ancient Steg
4+ Ward item
Blow Pipe

18" BSB range is fantastic! Not to mention the Ancient Steg is just a monster in both shooting and on the charge. Once again I prefer to give my BSB save. Though I can't improve his AS I still wanna give him the ward save just in case a stray cannon ball comes his way or he get's challenged.

Skink Chief -
Ancient Stegadon
Stegadon War Spear
Blow Pipe

This guy is to augment to already heavy killingness of the Ancient Stegadon. Though I don't take this guy as often as I like he still makes it onto the field occasionally. He's a beast on the charge with 2D6+1 impact hits with the Chief, crew and thunderstomp.

Skink Priest -
Engine of the Gods
Level 2 upgrade
Plaque of Tepok

Basic build which gives my Priest 3 spells and the EotG to augment either casting values or protect against shooting. I usually take this guy if I don't feel like taking a Slann and keep him central to my line and rearward to cast and project the Gungan shield.

Skink Priest -
Level 2 upgrade
Divination Orb

This is the guy I use souly for magic defense that I'll also team up with either another Priest (lvl 1) who has either a feedback scroll or a dispel scroll. This is for times when I just don't feel like messing with magic but want some defense.
