8th Ed. PF to the MAX! Thoughts?

[Sleboda]

Hey,

With the recent discussions around cold ones, saurus, and the troglogon, I started thinking about trying something different and wanted to get the thoughts of the forum-goers here.

What about trying a list that has one (or even two!) troglodons and several small PF units?

I'm thinking 3 units of 5 Cold One Cav, 5 or 6 units of 10-man Saurus blocks, 2 or 3 units of 4 Krox, and cowboys.

Wait for the right moment, pile on on a few choice units, and Roar for the win.


Yeah, I know, unlikely to do much, but could be fun!

Thoughts?

Sounds like fun...
Throw in a mix of skink priest and a nice old blood,
and you got yerself an army.

I like the Idea, you might be on to something. I have also wanted to be using the Trog a bit more.
You should consider at least two lvl 2 skink "Beast" priest in such a list. They can provide you with:
A:Dispell scroll & Cube

B: Beast = Cheaper cast on Stegadons, carnosaurs, Coldoneriders(and Scar-vets on a CO), Salamanders/Razordons and even swarms (you seem to like designing controversial lists, maybe you should try these?)
Being lvl 2 casters and -1 to cast on any of these, means the priests only need the roll 3-7 on dices for most of the spells remaining in the Beast lore.

C: Beast also gives you boost to any who can make good use of PF.

B: An unrestricted lore. In Swedish comp, it even gives you +4.

But a list like this, should really be build around monsters and cavalry, to get fast into fights. Maybe a couple of chamelions for early warmachine hunting and regular skirmishers to hide the priests in.

I plan on trying something similar but I'm thinking mostly infantry. Cold One Riders have a tendency to run ahead of everyone else so they might not be in range of the Troglodon.

Well i think you hit the nail on the head when saying its unlikely to do much.


Should be fun tho

No chameleons, they just doesn't fit in. But 2x3 ripperdactyls for WM-hunting does fit in!
But it should be fun with a MSU-list built around the trog

Which could allow them to hit the flank of the main combat. I'd more than likely include a unit of these guys with some vets if i was planning to make a max PF list.
