hero - Scar vet, L armour shield and burning blade -

how does this stand as a 2k army?? what changes if any would you recommend?? This will be my 3rd game of warhammer so like I said all help appreciated.

Orric :D
 
First off your Slann cannot take 2 dispel scrolls and the cupped hands. You only get one arcane item per wizard. Yes the Slann can be the general and the BSB. I give him the BSB although some here disagree with that tactic. Next in a 2k game I would not take both a Slann and an EoTG. You also have way too many points on heroes, only 25% is allowed. I would drop the EoTG, give the priest one of the dispel scrolls and add more saurus. Lastly you need to read the forum rules. YOU CANNOT LIST POINT VALUES!!!
 
thanks for the rapid response and sorry bout the cock up re: points. DOH!!!

having looked at the values re: 25% yep its 503 pts which is just over the limit, will have to think about that one. I hear what you are saying better of having more units than heroes but only just bought the second steggy so am desperate to use it in a game. :P

where does it say about number of arcane items as I don't recall reading that, although I have over spent on items on Slann.

back to the drawing board I think lol

Thanks droohoof :) You just saved me some work!

about the list:
The EotG is overkill, you're better of with making your 2 infantry blocks bigger.
Then I would add a Skrox unit of a decent size (16/2), they're fast infantry who can pack a nasty punch. If you line them up well. Don't expect them to win vs chaos warriors :D

Slann BSB is good. Just make sure you protect him!

The Hunted
 
What is LRB? Properly a dunn question lol but like I said I am new.
 
a redo :)

slann mastery of focus and rumination cupped hands and banner of prophecy

16 temple guard FC and Haranchi blessed totem

20 Saurus FC

20 Saurus FC

10 Skirm Skink

10 Skirm Skink

6 cham skink

6 cham skink

salamander +1 handler

skink priest plaque of topek and dispel scroll
EoTG

no idea how it'll work but its pretty much using all the models I have at the mo

debating dropping EoTG and just getting a normal steg and getting a second salamander.
 
I like taking an ancient stegadon and a scar-veteran instead of the EoTG, you give a saurus block some extra punch and the ancient stegadon is awesome!

Other then that, it looks like a really solid list with lots of harrassing possibilities, which is one of the strength of lizzies. When you expand, I suggest getting the Saurus units to 30 each and the TG to 20, to make sure you can stay in combat until you get a flank charge against units of 40+.
 
too many on skink priest ?

dispel scroll and plaque of tepok equal less that 50pts allowed. it does say magic items: any up to total of 50pts right?? way I read it you can have as many as you like as long as you dont over spend :D
 
You can only have one of each type, and they both qualify as "Arcane Items" therefore you can't take more than 1 Arcane Item, which includes cube of darkness, cupped hands, dispel scroll, feedback scroll, etc.
 
just got a copy of the rule book should make making a list a little easier now. thanks guys :)
