This is a test of the "Fangs of Sotek Skink Summoning System". This is only a test.

I'm trying to have my cake and eat it too, which likely makes this list too lightweight. My thought is to fight & teleport with saurus while I use the slann & astrolith to summon skink reinforcements to benefit from the other FoS features. I like the perks of the battalions, but I'll probably need to pick just one. I dunno, what do you think?

You know, I forgot one of the main features of FoS is the first round 3" move for skinks... Tsk. It's probably a weak move to have no skinks to start.

Dracothion's tail isn't bad. Won't have the Same CP spam as FoS though.

Yes, my other thought was just going Dracothion's Tail instead. Thanks, that's a good call.

So i believe that you can only use the FoS ability on warscroll list skinks and not summoned ones the way it reads. I could be wrong though.

Can't say I'm a fan, I don't think your going to be able to summon much with 3d3 points a turn. Units of 10 skinks don't cut it any more

Darn. I didn't realize that. I assumed anything you summoned was part of the constellation.

That's probably fair.

One thing we are going to struggle with is that our battalion powers were halved.... but the points didn't change...so we are getting less bang for the buck. I know you are trying to limit your drops but more than one battalion is leaving a lot of points off the table for a minor buff. Right now the best unit we have are salamander hunting packs... . My list generates on average 6 summoning points a turn... I want a unit of Kroxigors by turn 3 for heavy mayhem... I have the models and BY GOD I am going to USE THEM!
