8th Ed. quick list

[carno]

1 battalion

1 scar vet on horned one with various magical items

level 2 skink priest with magical items

2 skink chiefs with light armor and shield with magical items

how's that sound for starters

Re: quick list against

Skink chiefs are fun to play, but a little squishy. I would recommend dropping them in favor of another scar-vet (on foot, maybe BSB).

Re: quick list against

one chief will have a stegodon helm in a unit of skunks to up LS.

Re: quick list against

Really? That's a 109 point character with ld8 three s4 attacks toughness 3 and 4+ AS


For comparison

For 108 points you get a scar vet with LA, shield, dragonhelm and luckstone
A 2+ AS that is rerollable once,
A 2+ ward save against flaming attacks
Four strength 5 attack
Toughness 5
Leadership 8

So if you add him into the skink unit, all you lose is 2 inches of movement and one model worth of shooting, if you ranked them up rather than skirmish, that would be a nice wee combat unit with a heavy hitting scar vet


Scar vet >>> skink chief
The only time skink chiefs can be good if they are cheap, throwaway and spammed, if you start giving them 50 point magical armour, they will be outclassed by scar vets every time
