[Kalisto]

Which lore are you going to take? And why not warbanner on Slann?

 

[lucertolone_simpaticone]

I am going to take battle magic for the skink with the signature spell for CQC and for the slann I am going to take illusion with spectral dopplganger, miasmic mirage, column of crystal and shimmering dragon to make the stegdon fly.
What do you think?

 

[BeardedLizard]

Isn't Sword of Battle quite useless with Spectral Doppelganger? The spell doesn't interact with extra attack at all. Ogre blade or Blade of Tzunki would be good choices for a murder frog.

I would definitely take Warbanner also for extra combat res.

 

[Kalisto]

You cannot charge with fly so is quite useless anyway. You need 2 rounds to come in position and charge later

 

[TzhunkiHuanchisukaePiangi]

Can’t work. I have tested the combat slann several times. it does not work. to block a dragon you need to have a lot of luck. also now he can't see 360 degrees anymore, so it's even worse

Whut? Page 170

May move as normal (i.e., they may
charge, march and manoeuvre as if
moving on the ground), except that
they are able to pass freely above other
models, units and terrain features
without any penalty, and they can
march whilst within 8" of an enemy
unit without first having to make a
Leadership test.

He means with the spell that gives fly, as it is a conveyance spell, you only get the fly move speed in remaining moves substep. So no charge with that fly move.

Exactly.. sorry if I was unclear
