AoS Summoning table skinks.

Being relatively new with the game and summoning units, i have an query in regards to skinks..
Why can you summon either 10 or 20 saurus warriors, but only have the option to summon 10 skinks, wheres the option to summon 20 like the warriors. Why have they left that out

not that you need blocks of 20+... summoned skinks are good to flood the battlefield and drown the enemy with them, rather than do real damage.

This is true, but im just curious as to why they would add 1 option for a battleline and not another

Good question. I think the reason is GS wants people to consider the EoTGs (It has the ability to summon 20 Skinks). But, who knows the minds of GW devs.

Maybe they think you can spend 12 points to summon 20 skinks. They took it for granted... after all, 20 sauri come with a discount.

Thats what i was thinking. But was looking for the discounted skinks. If it's good for 1 battleline why not the other

because skinks lost the battleline tag (unless seraphon only) and are already incredibly cheap (points and summoning) so the summoning actually accurately reflects the points costs for both units (skinks have no horde discount, Saurus do, skinks are only battleline for us, Saurus are battle line for all)
