8th Ed. Tehehauins glorios army - The Rise of Sotek

[The Slann]

Hey guys,

So, my question is, as I want to build up an army based on Tehehauin, and manly skinks of course, is ther any good combination, or ar scarvets etc. mandatory?

I haven't really played fantasy in some 5 years, so I have no real clue what is running around these days, but our "new" group of old players is very much fluff-playing, so no tourney lists and powergaming.

We are planning on building up the lists in 500 point groups, so my start would be something like

priest
solar engine
10 saurus
filled up with skinks

pretty straight forward,
for the 1k I thought about adding terradons, maybe a saurus hero, who would stay very lonely in this army then, and maybe a block of skinks with kroxigors.

maybe the priest gets the upgrade-stegadon then too.

Anyways, then I should add swarms at some point, as I think they are pretty good supporting. Maybe somtimes even a spawning-bastiladon.

Any thoughts? Could this list survive against other more fluff lists? Is the beast lore worth at all?

greetings
The Slann

Re: Tehehauins glorios army

I think swarms are ok. I've not used Tehenhuain in this new book, so I don't really know what to tell you for his armies. I'd suspect they're like you said though, lots of Skink cohorts and skirmishers with poison, lots of Arks of Sotek, lots of swarms.

Just don't forget to bring in a few units of Saurus. They're the backbone of our army. But since you're going for fluffy you might be ok without them. Just something to keep in mind if you feel yourself getting pummeled repeatedly.

Beasts is definitely a worthwhile lore. Some people like Heavens, some people like Beasts. It's super cool when your priest turns into a Hydra.

Re: Tehehauins glorios army

So, Idea for now:
Starting with a 600 pts list as follows:

Skinkpriest lvl 2, scroll
22 skinks, command, 2 krox
10 skirmishers
Bastiladon

for the next level, (add 600)
Tehehauin,
3 Teradons
Ancient Stega with sharpened horns,

up to 1800
2x2 Swarms
22 skinks, command, 2 krox
2x10 skirmishers
2x1 Salamander

And now, the full glorios 2400 pts:
Tehehauin
Skinkpriest, lvl2, skroll, ancient Stegadon, sharpened Horns

22 Skinks, Command, 2Kroxigors
22 Skinks, Command, 2Kroxigors

3x10 Skirmishers

3 Teradons
Bastiladon Solar
Bastiladon Sotek
2 Swarms
2Swarms

2x1 Salamander
Ancient Stegadon, sharpened Horns

As I posted before, I have no real clue at the moment of the meta game, but we are a pretty fluff group of players, and I just always liked the Idea of a skink army, killing stuff with poison. (I actually played a tourny list with southlands back in 6th. And yeah, I convertetd like 30 Skinks with bows...)

I think I have enough monsters though, to deal some damage, and also enough magic.
In the first List, I wanted to seat Tehehauin on the Stegadon, but I think he is better leading the swarms. Also Tetto'eko was in, but that was kind of to much spezial character overkill. So normal priest, goes better with the building up of the list anyways.

Cheers
