[toprahmen]

Howdy peoples. I have brought my list up to 1950 and need to figure out how to get it to 2000. I'm pretty happy with the list sofar, so please help me to round it out.


Slann
Focus of Mystery & The Becalming Cogitation
cupped hands of the old ones, shield of the old ones

Skink Priest

35 Saurus w/ spears, standard & musician

17 Saurus w/ standard & musician

12 Skink Skirmishers

10 Temple Guard w/ full command

8 Cold One Cavalry w/ full command

Stegadon
--------------------------------------------------------------------

for a total of 1950 pts.



sooo,
I have 50 points to spend. on what?

Here's some ideas:
- 1 more Discipline of the Ancients (The Focused Rumination)
- Level 2 Wiz and magic item for skink priest.
- Some magic standard(s).
- 7 more skink skirmishers.
- 4 more saurus.

ONE UNIT OF 10 PLAIN SKINKS.

so a tiny speed bump?

i feel like just 10 temple guard will be destroyed too quickly. if anything i'd find some points to free up to fill out that squad or just go with a solo slann and something else.

IMH i would take rumination over cognition everytime. +1 power die for every spell is a bit too hard to say no to. and i would also try to beef up you TG or you can just add a magic banner to them.... razor standard or flaming would be great

 

[Questioner]

Or just 1 extra discipline for the slann...

 

[toprahmen]

How bout I drop the Skink Priest, give Slann Focused Rumination, and put a Skink Chief into the 17 man Saurus unit? -I've never seen that before, but it might work to add a little punch?

- I agree 10 Temple Guard is a bit thin but I'll be screening them with the smaller Saurus unit.

Any thoughts on this?

Drop TGs, Temle Guard bunker doesnt work well in 2k game. Or drop Cav. and beef up TGs

why doesnt a tg bunker work well in 2k? not enough to take other things? i see TG bunker in most lists regardless of size.

yeah but how big are the bunkers? At least 19 with a hero or 20 without one, sometimes more. 10 guards die like nothing, you`d rather use those points on something usefull, or get em guards beefed up to 20.
17 saurus is very little too 8th is about big battles! not skirmishes like in 7th. i`d suggest around 25 maybe 24.
Why did you write "shield of the old ones" thats the thing he starts with (4+ wardsave). Did you mean 2+ vs shooting if yes keep it if you discard tg otherwise drop it.

how to do it IMO.

Slann
Focus of Mystery, The focused rumination, bsb, standard of dicipline, cupped hands. (Lore of light)

29 Saurus w/ spears, standard & musician

25 Saurus w/ standard & musician

10 Skink Skirmishers

20 Temple Guard w/ full command

5 chameleon skinks

8 Cold One Cavalry w/ banner musician.

Stegadon


for a total of 1999 pts.

[Kar Gor]

[n810]
