Spending alot of time assembling and painting the with which is now a pain the the arse to include in fact id like to see skink lords like maybe high priest albino skinks
 
Me too, and it would make all skink armies better too.
 
My GG came across this problem when a member wanted to try a Sink list for fun.
I told him to treat our % allowances more like he slots of 7th, and told him i'd let him use a 50% Hero cap, with only 25% being allowed to be lords. Worked really well, IMO.
 
A skink lord would be awesome! However what I`d really like to see is that our Skink Chief has the mount option "Cold One".. Terradon is nice but.. Skink Chief BSB on Cold one with Skavenpelt banner would be nice =)

Kroxigor hero, just for the fun of it aswell? A little lore and they´ll fit right in.
 
Give a skink hero the enchanted item of the Horned one, Its just COC without stupidity and thats awsome in my books :D
 
Like Tichi-Huichi ? ;)
 
Yeah! You can still get the model for him off GWS, its in collectors items though.
 
I think we need some king of Skink Lord too.

But I don't think an albino high priest really brings anything to the table. Unless Slann get even more powerful, or esoteric with thier magic, it wouldn't make much sense to give us another more normal sorcerer.
 
Well, we DO have the Prophet of Sotek (and come on, he IS awesome)


morglum: That's who Gor-Rok userped his place from.
In the 6th Lizzie book there was a base for a custom Character for Nakai, a white Kroxigor of the first spawning. I suffered a serious cas of nerdrage when I found "Gor-Rok the White Lizard" or whatever in the book.

It breings a cheaper but less durable option maybe even limited lore acess, but not compleetly like with hero priests.

But we still have him to get points in Lords. And hey, you can chuck him on an EotG if it bothers you that much ><
He also gives your whole Skink army Hatred IIRC, sure, it's to Skaven only, but that has to be worth something.
And then he's unbreakable, and has that dagger thingie.
I'm not saying his worth his weight in gold or anything, but he is still a way to chuck up your point and he's not totally useless.
 
Excuse me but if i'm gonna plant 250+ points in a lord i'll just take a slaan. For 25pts i get 2 wounds higher toughnes better choice of lores and a discipline of the ancients, not to mention that if an engine is needed ill just take a regular priest.

I have to agree, the Slann is a far superior choice.
 
I think as a novelty, and for all skink lists, He's fun but really has no practical use when you can stretch a tiny bit for a slann
 
And how many points do any of your think a lvl 4 Skink priest is going to cost? No Mages that powerful are cheap, which brings me back to my original point. It doesn't make much sense to have a powerful Mage character that's not a Slann (barring special characters).

I'd rather see us get some kind of assassin/sniper thing, or perhaps a flexible character that we can customize in to that. Perhaps something with special rules that makes your Skinks all the more lethal in general, kinda like Tenehuan. Say, increasing your poisoned weapons with a re-roll to wound, or letting Skinks have poisoned attacks for close combat. Something to help represent that Skinks don't tend to wage war in the convention way.

After playing a couple games yesterday, I can definetly say we need to see an increase in Init ratings for Saurus. Temple Guard and cavalry less so, but it'd still be good to have them both go up to 3, while the regular warriors go to 2.
 
A goblin lvl 4 is 180 pts but only has one lore, if the skink gets say 3 then 200 would be fair. True not much cheaper than a slaan but will be great boon to all skink armies and opens up room for an oldblood even after items.

Chillax bro. I'm talking in all skink armies, he's a way to get points into Lords. Otherwise, I agree, Slann > Prophet of Sotek.
 
And i say we need other skink lords besides him.

I agree. To some extent. Skink Lords would be a bit overkill IMO, I think that just one is in order, an uber chief, preferably.
 
Why the heck should the stupid O&G have 5 lord types and we shouldn't!
We need a skink warmaster and a skink high priest.
