8th Ed. Lizardmen: Planning to go for the tourneys!

[pimmilicious]

Hey guys,

So I'm still a pretty new player (I only played about 10 lowish point games) but I got pretty boosted by a veteran at my local gaming store who told me I needed to try to attend a tournament sometimes after I had beaten one of our top Lizardmen players. So now I need to expand my army and I was thinking of this list as my target:


Chupayotl’s Turtle Tribe
-2400 points-

Lords:
Slann mage-priest (lore of shadow): (545)
- Focus of mystery
- Becalming cogitation
- Focused rumination
- Higher state of consciousness
- Cupped hands of the old ones
- Crown of command
- Battle standard bearer
- Standard of discipline

Heroes:
Skink priest: (105)
- Cube of darkness
Skink priest: (90)
- Dispel scroll
Skink priest: (90)
- Blood statuette of spite

Core:
30 skink: (337)
- Full command
- 3 Kroxigor
30 skink: (337)
- Full command
- 3 Kroxigor

10 skink skirmishers: (70)
- blowpipe
10 skink skirmishers: (70)
- blowpipe
10 skink skirmishers: (70)
- blowpipe

Special:
6 chameleon skinks (72)
6 chameleon skinks (72)
6 chameleon skinks (72)

Rare:
2 Salamander hunting pack: (155)
- extra skink handler
2 Salamander hunting pack: (155)
- extra skink handler

Razordon hunting pack: (80)
- extra skink handler
Razordon hunting pack: (80)
- extra skink handler

Total: 2400 points

This list follows my previous list: A fast skink army with a lot of focus on mobility, shooting and magic. One combo I found out is to use the blood statuette on a character in a withered unit, the squishy classes won't like a -2 T making their hero T1, which actually gives the statuette a real opportunity to cause wounds. I like to hear from you what you think about the army!

How about a Dawnstone 1+ AS Scar Vet for flinging around with Steed of Shadows? Or are you set on Skinks only? I assume you plan on charging people with your Slann too.

Blood Statuette combo is cool, thanks for sharing.

A scar-vet would be really cool to use with steed of shadows and smoke and mirrors, but I'm set on skinks.

I was indeed planning to charge my slann into combat, mostly because he is safe in there from most magic and ugly dwarves enhanced warmachines.

Thanks, I think it is a rather usefull strategy, for 25 points you get a rather good chance of killing a character, so use it wisely comrats =D
