AoS Something different 500 Pts

[Josh Lane]

Trying for different ideas so any input is welcomed :

470/500 Pts:

Coalesced

Leaders:

Saurus Sunblood - 130pts

Skink Starpriest - 120Pts

Battleline:

Saurus Guard x5 - 100Pts

Skinks x10 - 60Pts
Boltspitters and Moonstone club

Skinks x10 - 60Pts
Boltspitters and Moonstone Club

The idea was too use the Skinks as screening for getting the Saurus Guard and Sunblood into Combat. The Saurus guard hit like trucks and with the 2 wounds each that crazy am I missing something why aren’t these guys in people’s list more? With the Sunblood command ability and Hand of glory these guys get the extra buff. Still need too decide on the artefact for the Sunblood

The idea could be rubbish but was trying for something different.

Overall looks decent, although you might want to consider a few changes. First up, is taking coalesced Koatl’s claw as it makes saurus that much scarier. Second is to swap out the guard for warriors. The problem with saurus guard is that they are meant to protect the Slann, and for their points can’t do much else. try swapping out some skinks for more warriors as well. I’m thinking something li,e this

Spoiler: Revised list

Allegiance: Seraphon
- Constellation: Koatl's Claw

Leaders
Saurus Sunblood (130)
- General
- Command Trait: Dominant Predator
- Artefact: Eviscerating Blade
Skink Starpriest (120)
- Spell: Celestial Harmony

Battleline
20 x Saurus Warriors (180)
- Clubs
10 x Skinks (60)
- Boltspitters & Moonstone Clubs

Total: 490 / 500
Extra Command Points: 0
Allies: 0 / 200
Wounds: 41

Thanks for the reply. Would hand of glory not be better for the re rolls? I’m getting back into the game so might be a few questions haha. I get what your saying about Saurus warriors would 1 squad of each so Skinks for screening Saurus guard and Saurus warriors work? All the attacks of the Saurus guard seem so good haha. I get there a Slann protection tho so my plan further down the line was too get a Kroak and have guards with him

Hand of glory is also pretty useful, and really the spell is up to preference. Skinks make excelllent screen,s but be warned that their bravery is laughable so some battleshock negating effects are extremely helpful with them. I’m fairly certain Kroak and saurus guard would work, I can’t remember who came up with the idea, but it’d basically a bunker box with lord Kroak and saurus guard
