7th Ed. The Sacred Host of Sotek!!!!

Ok, with my slaan list well underway I thought I might get a headstart on a possible oldblood list

Lord:
Oldblood with carnosaur, light armour, ench shield, Scimitar of the sun and glyph necklace- 460 pts

Heroes:
level 1 Skink priest with 2 dispell scrolls -115
level 2 skink priest with diadem and scroll- 150
skink chief with BSB and the totem of prophecy- 142 pts

Core:
5x 20 skinks with musicians and standards +1 krox. -855 pts total
2x 10 skink skirmishers with blowpipes-140pts total


Special:
3 Terradons 90 pts
5 chameleon skinks stalker-66pts

total:1998 pts
Models:134

This is pretty much a skink horde, with kroxigors for there fear abilities and an occasional kill, the key to winning will most likely be the skinks awesome manoeverablity, moving 6 inches regularily. The carnosaur lord can shred infantry, and will probably hunt whatever the skinks cannot....

any comments?

I'd be very interested in hearing how it performs. If you can manage a step by step with pics that would be great! I love seeing those threads, and I'd love seeing that with an unusual army like this.

Don't have a camera-and it was just theoretical, for the time being anyways.

I constantly am having saurus being outmanoevered by other opponents, and I think that an infantry army this fast would catch alot of opponents off guard.

It looks pretty solid from what I can see,

your only issue would be units like Wardancers that would just carve them up and overun into another unit and do the same, so Chameleons should be fixed on taking these down

that, and failing leadership checks

but i'd love to see how it performs - if you do it

Cheers
Conar

keep us updated!

The point of the saurus general is his ld 8....good for skinks

 

[Dumbledore]

If I remember correctly a BSB would actually help the skinks hold more than a 1LD boost (krox 7) from the general. The one concern with this list that I have is that there is nothing but the carnosaur to break units with. Other than that you can only break the enemy with shooting,flanking and large numbers, and that may not work if the enemy keeps a tight line. Also is a terradon brave really worth anything, 10 points for 1BS? I'd drop a couple of skink cohorts and replace them and the the skink chief for a skink chief BSB on an ancient stegadon, maybe with warspear or something. That still leaves you with looooads of skinks and means you have two things to break enemies with instead of one.

Hmmm, thats good (brave is to help chief with assassinations.....)

The point of this list is, however, to make a large force that uses outmanoevring and flanking n stuff for the wins, the carnosaur lord is expected to punch a hole that I can take advantage from

sooooo

terradon skink chief now is.....skink chief with bsb AND (drumroll) THE FEAR CAUSING BANNER!!!!!
he costs 142 pts.... so to get him I can drop the stalker and the brave!

He will be placed in a unit of skinks....(might try and squeeze in more into this unit...)
Making the unit Ideal for breaking enemies, as if they are larger and if they even win by 1, the enemy has to roll snakeyes!!!! (except tk...which I also play.... but hey, they'll be immune if kroxi dies!!!

Thoughts?
