8th Ed. LM questions

[Cobra7]

I just got a bunch of LM stuff from Ebay, so I'm all in LM now. Point is I will be asking a lot of questions in the next couple weeks.

1. I thought I read somewhere that chameleon skinks can start as close to a unit as they want, but I don't see it in the rulebook. Am I being silly?

2. Can you give me examples of what chameleons should and shouldn't target? I can see things with low armor like Giants, but would you try your luck vs a hydra?

3. Can large point games be viable without a mage-priest?

4. How often do you guys take the Blade of Realities?

5. Is a special Stegadon even worth taking over a rare?

6. Why does no one seem to like Razordons? By the looks of them they would do great in watchtower games or even holding a flank.

that was 6th edition chameleons

It would be worth a shot, especially it they already dealt with the war machines.

3. Can large point games be viable without a mage-priest?

Don't see why not, but take a few priest and a lot of magic defense.

4. How often do you guys take the Blade of Realities?

Quite rarely actually... It was a lot more popular under 7th edition rules

5. Is a special Stegadon even worth taking over a rare?

both have their merit

6. Why does no one seem to like Razordons? By the looks of them they would do great in watchtower games or even holding a flank.
I think the problem is that Skink skirmishers and Razordons are competing for the same targets.

1. 12 inches away.

2. In order-- solo wizards, war machines, solo characters, high toughness/low armor big guys, missile troops, everything else.

3. You can, but i wouldn't suggest it. The Slann's magic really covers a lot of our weaknesses, lore of heavens is cruddy.

4. With all leadership tests rerollable near the (now mandatory) BSB? Never.

5. To put it simply, no.
