I'm not taking any fighting characters because they will die too easily against a Vamp, Wight king, HE characters or elite troops.

I would take off the chamions in the saurus because the only thing the are good for is challenging other champions.

I dont think the fire standard will help because it is only good for things with regen and flammable.

I dont reilly understand the horde of skinks, why use thjem when you know they will be chewed up?

I would also take a dispel scroll so that you habe a chance to nurg two of your enemys spells.

Try to take a sally because vampire counts are very fond of massed infantry and phionix gaurd get know saves from any attacks against them with a sally

@walrusstooth
I wont be horde-ing the skinks and they will be for the white lions.
Dont have a sally would love one tho. Also PG have 4+ ward.
And the flaming banner is for the regen the vamps may have on their GG.
DS would be good but the dwarfs can take 3 on one hero, might try fit it in with the points from the champs.

Thanks for the reply walrusstooth

How would skinks take care of white lions

 

[Gor-rok]

I use them to tar pit white lions. Their S6 attacks are wasted on skinks, and a big cheap unit like that is great for holding them in place until a flanking unit can arrive.

Not sure if that was your plan Bish, but it's one way to do it.

Champions do cost a lot of points, but I love making a powerful character waste all his attacks killing one in a challenge. He gets the same combat res either way, but with the champion I only lose one model.
