Hello there

Just a quick question, where u from?

The list seems like a nice list, like it.

Just one thing, is it not better to make the Slaan BSB?

Much harder to get the points from BSB, always playing my Slaan as General + BSB and u don´t need to be careful that the Scar-Vet BSB would die.

Hi! I like the list, looks solid, but there are three weak points that can be improved in my opinion:
- that BSB skink chief is a bit out of place IMO. It will die fast and it will not fulfill any special role.
- the second priest should have the cube of darkness. You are giving up the possibility to have the third scarvet cowboy in your 600 points of heroes to fit the second priest. Make it worth it and give him the cube. Dispel scroll + cube + slann channeling 3 dice at 5+ will give you such a strong magic defense.
- I think you are 1 hitter short to optimal. I am sure you can fit either a cheap oldblood cowboy (glittering scale + luckstone + GW) or an ancient stegadon. Just drop the skink chief and the second salamander, you'll be close to the points you need to do so. To find the last points you need you can downgrade the priest to level 1 and shave a bit of gadgets here and there.

good luck with that, I look forward to hear how it goes!

I'm a west cost Swede.

I've been back and forth with that tiny BSB skink. The thing is that I absolutely hate it when I get stuck in and grinded down by regenerating nurgle filth and therefore needed a way to handle the situation (other than redirect). But at the same time I need to be able to ditch the fire when facing 2+wards...

Another thought would be to go a completely different rout. From what I've heard and realised in a (very) few test matches you acctualy can survive without a lvl if you have both scroll and cube. Especially sine oldbloods are tough enaugh to fight even with a slight debuff on them. Have anyone here tested a CO-buss (without tetto) in a GT recently?

Old Blood: CO, WB, ToP, Steg Helm, tOTS
Old Blood: CO, Piranah Blade, Potion of Strength, Charmed Shield, Dawnstone

Scar-Vet: CO, GW, BSB, Armor of Destiny
Scar-Vet: CO, GW, Light Armour, Ironcurse Icon, Obsidian Lodestone
Skink Priest: lvl2, scroll
Skink Priest: lvl2, cube

Loads of skinks skinks

13x CO Riders, FC
6x Rippers

The rippers are mostly there to scare people...
