Interesting.
I will accept the challenge for sure, but atm I'm playing a campaign, so this will be done later.

You are only at 990, so maybe the triumph will be helpful

I’ve had an awesome moment in one of my games where a single handler went toe to toe with a Khorgaroth for 3 rounds and ended up killing it with a jab to the eye!

 

[Crowsfoot]

You guys have surely seen MWG where he fields shit loads of handlers and no one knows why, he was testing this list

 

[pendrake]

I haven’t got that many Skink handlers.

Why are they in 12s? Usually Skinks are by tens?

Handlers come in groups of 3

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if this list would perform suprisingly well as long as your opponent doesn't have loads of shooting. You got plenty of sacrificial fodder to absorb unfavorable charges and withle an enemy down and handlers are surprisingly reliable. And Knights, although underwhelming, can hold the line and if you get so Lucky as to get a decent charge or two you might even catch an opponent completly un aware and steamroll in.

However, the moment your opponent has significant ranged firepower, or some particular strong units you'l probably get destroyed.


I would make one change to the list though. Divide all the handlers up into minimum size units. Maximize the amount of wasted attacks due to overkill and available fodder units for speedbumps.

The goal was not to make a good list Skink Handlers are better in MinSU.
