This is an All-Up-In-Your-Face-From-Turn-1 list. Much different than my usual Slaan builld, should be loads of fun. Stegs in ther middle, cohorts on both sides. The cohorts are neither anvil nor hammer, but a frenzied, poisonous, lawnmower (especially re-rolling against skaven). Two ancient stegs between them for smashing stuff and EOTG on one doing its thing (mainly blowing up knights, demons, undead, etc...). Krox get placed as needed to be a can opener. Sallies for doing their thing to knights and hordes. Five small skink skirmishers running around the middle and flanks with four chamo squads causing mayhem in the back (they wrecked shop at a small local tourney yesterday, and I was onlly running 2x5). The general uses blood statuette on any wizards, priest dispells what he's able and doesn't risk casting much but the occasional ice shard blizzard. Terras for warmachines and lone characters. The chiefs can run and hide against the EOTG if they're scared of something (99% of units/characters will think twice about charging a frenzied, skaven hating ancient steg). The BSB...


The BSB is the linchpin. He runs around to the major units giving them frenzy and marching to the next one, giving them frenzy, as well. Oh, how I wish I could give him cloak of feathers, too! I figure I can have 3-4 units frenzied by the time the battle lines hit, and I will be running up fast while the skirmishers put everything on lockdown. Note that, as far as I know, I can frenzy a steg that's a character mount by joining them and then moving on to the next lucky unit.

-I'm tempted to swap out the killing blow dagger of sotek for the ASF sword.
-Maybe drop the ancient steg and get three more sallies and another terra? I think six sallies might be overkill...
-I got 5 measly, stinking points left over. What to do?

Thanks, guys!

Unfortunately you can only take 2 of the same rare choise and 3 of the specials unless the tournament your going to is using some special rules. So you have to get rid of one unit of chammos and one sallie (wich you could ad to one of the other groups if you still want three)

I don't believe stegas can join units any more, you might have to field him on foot, if you want to do that trick.

Good call guys, I was worried about percentages and forgot about multiple choices

That BSB is gonna be on foot, though, not enough points to take as a mount.

So how you think it would fare in the tourney?
