7th Ed. Saurus Cavalry Force

[chomp]

hey again,

just another 1k point list i put together, all based on Cold One Cavalry (as at this time im finding it hardto choose between lizardmen or bretonnians for my first army).

i love cavalry, always have so heres my take on a lizardman cavalry force:

Heroes:

Scar-Vet (general): Maiming Shield, Light Armour and Cold One.

Core:

2x 10 Skink Skirmishers

Special:

9x Cold One Cavalry: Musician, Standard and War Banner.

2x 5 Cold One Cavalry


so there ya go, angry dinosaurs riding angrier dinosaurs!

comments and advice welcome!

I would go for the sun standard on your big unit. they will be target nmr1, so making them less vulnerable to shooting might help. :]

heh good point! must have overlooked that banner.

I agree with the Sun Standard. It will keep your big unit from taking too much petty small arms fire from nasty buggers like handgunners and repeater crossbows.

Overall I like the list a lot. It is a tough list for most 1k armies to deal with, and barring some awful stupidity rolls it will probably steamroll most people.

I'm not a big fan of the Maiming shield though. If you can scrounge up 5 points, I'd say Enchanted Shield and Sword of Battle would be a better combination. Same gig, better AS.

I would be tempted to change the skirmishers to cohorts, points are a premium with this list and this way you would generate 40 points to fiddle with. You could do as the professor suggests and give your vet the enchanted shield and the sword of battle. and I'm pretty sure you'd have enough for the sun standard and a champion in the big unit (champ is really for protecting you vet from challenges, after all with the sword of battle you want him to be carving up some heavy combat res).
