Ok so just started play WHFB and am playing my first game/tournament end of this month.

I have done a lot of reading and this seems to be decent list, can anyone advise?

I am slightly concerned with no magic defence but a skink priest seemed to expensive to be useful at this points range

103pts

Core

18x Saurus Warriors w/ standard bearer and musician

18x Saurus Warriors w/ standard bearer and musician

Welcome to the forum. On an admin note, your first three posts will have to be approved. After that, you will be able to post freely. Sorry for the inconvenience, but we are currently experiencing a high amount of spammers.

On to your list.

It's a pretty solid list. At 750 points, you will not run into too much magic. However, there could be some. In relation to combat, you will own most lists with this one. Since the new HE book just came out, I would expect that you will be facing lots of HE lists. You should be prepared for some Chaos Warriors as well. Chaos Warriors could give you a run for the money as they are one of the only armies that can perform as well as saurus at this level.

With the exception of maybe trying to work in a priest, I would not change anything about the list. Make sure to take the extra snack on the salamander.
 
No problem thanks for approving so quickly!

Thanks for the advise on the list, yea are HE/Chaos quite magic heavy ?

What's the snack for the salamander sorry? Do you mean extra crew?

I have 0 pts spare so dunno how I would shave 5 pts down.
 
HE could be magic heavy, WoC will not be, but they are tough as nails.

Yes, the snack is the extra crew member because invariably it will be eaten.
 
Is the extra handler really important?

Also do you have tips on how to handle a magic heavy force using this list ?

Or is just take out the wizard asap :P
 
Are snacks important? I know my Sallies suffer from low blood sugar, so yes. When I roll a 5 or 6 for the D3 and all of my handlers are munched, the extra snack is well worth the points.
