This army isn't even close to legal,

>.> This isn't a 1k list or a 2k list, thats what my reserved post is for later. This is just what I have around.

If anything what I have so far is just a CHARACTER LIST than anything else. It's not like I could actually field them all in an army with my limited core guys at the moment. That would be silly.

Please try to read and understand topics before posting.

I'll likely be doing an under 1k game this next weekend.

Re: The Army of Mage-Lord Xhucha (Still in Works)

Loving it!

I'm doing a similar massive campaign currently. A bit different in that we have fluid armies led by characters that are gaining exp and such to level up into lords (and I'm going to have quite a few more Slann/characters than you currently have).

Flavor wise and playstyle wise, it looks like a fun pool to pull from with some really cool combos!

Would love to see some more of your models (Gor-Loq and dreadscales specifically).

Only concern is your skink BSB. A skrox horde isn't going to be a very safe place to keep him. This said however, its a fun tactic and I love it flavorwise again!

If my group weren't so competitive, I would be doing some of your similar strategies!

Keep up the good work!

 

[Maazie]

Re: The Army of Mage-Lord Xhucha (Still in Works)

Hah thanks for all the positive feedback.

I will get more pictures tomorrow. All of my models and our painting base is at my friend's place. My friends and I just got into collecting and painting so we are all loving it.

Yeah I just love the feel of having ALOT of Heroes and Lords. Adds something different to the Fantasty Fluff Feel of the game.

But yes, I will upload more pictures and fluff out some of my guys.

As for the Skink Chief in the Skrox Unit... Haha I know it's not the greatest idea. I imagine however it will help initially crushing a Unit or so until he dies.

 

[Dog On Todd]

Re: The Army of Mage-Lord Xhucha (Still in Works)

Maybe!

Another option is the flaming banner, and then go monster hunting?

If you guys are just starting out, just go for fun!

As I said, my group is plagued with over competitiveness, so I usually lose due to prefer the rpg/roleplaying aspect of our campaign rather than strength

 

[Maazie]

Re: The Army of Mage-Lord Xhucha (Still in Works)

Yeah my circle of opponents are going to be Warriors of Chaos, Dark Elves, and Dwarves.

The guy who is playing Warriors of Chaos is the kind of guy who crushes people in Chess and he has played 40k... So he will be my clear Nemesis which is fitting for Lizardmen vs Chaos.

Should be fun. I will definitely post how they go.

Re: The Army of Mage-Lord Xhucha (Still in Works)

I like fluffy armies, they always seem more important.

One thing, your big Slann can have a magic banner, or magic items, but not both I'm afraid. I'm sure you realize you can only have one BSB as well, and that your wee skink is for smaller games.

MOAR PICTURES!

 

[Turtleneck]

Re: The Army of Mage-Lord Xhucha (Still in Works)

slann can have magic banner AND magic items, he is the only exception in the entire warhammer world

Oh Slann can actually have Battle Standard, all their Magic Items and be General, Because Slann are AWESOME. =P Thanks and MOAR pictures are coming.

Re: The Army of Mage-Lord Xhucha (Still in Works)

But the point was he had a skink BSB, and therefore couldn't field both in the same army.

Also, if he was being really fluffy (like me!) then he could only have 1 period.

 

[Maazie]

Re: The Army of Mage-Lord Xhucha (Still in Works)

Ah I see... I had it in the notes for the Skrox Unit that he wouldn't be there if Xhucha was present. But I can see the confusion. Will fix that.

Still, what does the group recommend for Best Slann Standard? Plaque of Dominion just feels so Magic-related. Then again the Slann can have the BSB and a Temple Guard can have a magic standard upto 50 points. So the group could have two. Double the fun.

Re: The Army of Mage-Lord Xhucha (Still in Works)

The Sun standard is good protection from ranged attacks on your slann.

 

[Maazie]

Re: The Army of Mage-Lord Xhucha (Still in Works)

More Pictures Added.

Just got my Temple Guards in the mail. Priming them now >.< More Pictures and things to come, including my first actually Army List.

Thanks All.

 

[Dog On Todd]

Re: The Army of Mage-Lord Xhucha (Still in Works) (New Pics)

Really cool!

Loving your models and paint scheme (mine is very similar )

My entire army is based on Sotek however

Keep up the good (fluffy) work! Keeps things interesting

 

[Maazie]

I added some more some PURE Fluff to my army now. Posted a section in the Fluff area, link in my signature. Still in the works.

 

[Dog On Todd]

Still following and lurking your fluff!

Some nice work! I'll post up some of my stuff once our game is over. Can't have my opponents reading my secrets

Any battle reports for your 1k game?

Awesome. No we had to post-pone our game due to not being fully painted yet due to my ass getting sick. >.<

Hopefully soon, I am very eager.
