what do you all think? i want to try this list out sometime this week.

 

[Raeth]

My only issue with the list is I think the third skink priest isn't really all that useful. The slaan and the engine are more than sufficient. I think it's best to have your skink units be expendable.

I would drop the priest to replace with a scar vet with jaguar charm and great weapon. P5 bound spell every turn is awesome, it frequently draws out dispel dice for me, or it's a nasty surprise for any chariots or exposed characters. When paired with a strong magic phase he has been phenomenal for me.

Otherwise... I'd say get some terradons!

I agree w/ Raeth about the SV and Jaguar charm + GW. However I've use the second skink on foot and it's been a bit of a boon for me. I run him w/ CoF and the Rod. The combo frightens my opponents to where they think they need to protect their WM crews and lone characters.

Another type of build I use for a second priest is Diadem + Scroll. Then I hide him in the back ranks so he can't be touched and he's used as my Dispel Daddy. This also will free up magic items for your two casters who could take more offensive items.

 

[skinker]

Bring Terradons.

 

[lazylizard]

Bring Terradons.

OKAY. i'll move terradons up on my list so i'll get them next!!!! but right now i don't have any and i have found that i could always fit them in my list somewhere everytime i build my list so i know i know. i need terradons.

 

[Aranigej]

Yep... you need terradons

 

[Dave G]

I'd recommend putting the "know an extra spell" item on the EoTG priest. With a Slann you want early magical domination and having a Skink priest with non-threatening spells won't help you to achieve that goal, imo.

Also, the Charm of the Jaguar Warrior might help hide your lack of Terradon's a little as he can hunt down those Warmachines somewhat. He also makes a good candidate for Bear's anger, if you need to stop dragons (i.e. are already taking the Beast Lore.)
