I was in tournament held last weekend, I got 3 wins (11-9 vs daemons, 13-7 vs ogres and 13-7 vs goblins)
and 2 big lossess (0-20 vs WoCs and rats. Basically both losses cause my opponents passed insane courage tests on right place. :rage: ) My standing was low, because those 2 massacre losses, IIRC 26/31, but I was pleased with all my games, cause those 2 losses were because of lucky dice rolls by my opponent
But that's warhammer

Anyway my list was:

Slann
bsb
Rumination, all spells, Cogitation,
Cupped Hands
Ironcurse Icon
Lore of Life



Core: 750pts


10x Skirmishers

10x Skirmishers


25x Saurus Warriors
Full Command

25x Saurus Warriors
Full Command



Special: 923pts
3x Terradons


7x Chameleon Skinks

8x Chameleon Skinks

23x Temple Guard
full command, Banner of Swiftness

Stegadon



Rare: 275


Ancient Stegadon


Couple ideas how to improve my list:

1.During games, I found life wasnt the best lore for my list. I think Light is far better in block armies than life.

2.Terradons didnt do anything. I think skirmishers/ sallie would be better choise.

3. Banner of Ethernal Flame for Slann/TG. I didnt have need for that, but I think it's totally worth now cause dragon princes only have 2+ ward vs flaming attacks.

4. Saurus Warriors are GREAT! I think I need 3th unit of them, but atm I'll have to stick with 2nd stega, I dont have enough figures

Comments and Ideas are wellcome!
 
- How did you use your terradons? They are great for taking out archers/lone characters, while chameleons are better at attacking warmachines. I'd keep the terradons as they are very good when used properly.

- I'm a big fan of lore of Life, but it's pretty conservative. Lore of Light will indeed allow you to play more aggressively.

- I would take some salamanders. 2 of them with extra handlers allow you to weaken the ennemy. With the firepower of 2 salamanders, 20 skirmishers, 15 chameleon skinks and 1 ancient stegadon, you are looking at some serious long range/mid range/close range firepower to support the 3 main infantry blocks.

- How did the baby steg work for you? I'd replace him with salamanders, I don't like his bolt thrower much.

- I don't understand what you are saying about the banner of the eternal flame. A 2+ WS vs fire attacks is insanely good and will allow a unit of DP to tie up your Slann's unit until they get flanked, which is really bad. IMO, it's the kind of item that's more suited to a tailored list then a tournament list.

- Bumping those Saurus Warriors blocks to 30 would be a very good idea, especially if you plan on using Lore of Light.

I hope this helps a little.
 
Thanks for comments!

I know, terradons are still a great unit IMHO, maybe my armies I faced werent the most optimal for them. Couple of times my enemy made some lucki charges (14+", trolololol with blocks, and they got killed)


About life: It's a very good lore, but because of Life I think I played way too carefully in couple of games, hence not getting "big win". and in Finland, most tournaments have rules that give Look out Sir!-roll against spells such as dwellers, final transmutation, 13th, etc.

"I don't understand what you are saying about the banner of the eternal flame.

Well, before FAQ they had immunity against flaming attacks. And I dont think DPs gonna pin my unit down, I've metahammered that most high elf list only have unit of 5-7. And it's bad vs 1 army, while it is good vs armies with rege (skaven, VC and DEs, more common armies that what HEs are)

But atm, I have to stick with 2 stegas, since I dont have enough saurus warriors. So, 1 saurus unit away, baby stega and unit of chameleons in. Then I think I have enouhg points to bump SWs unit size up
