Well my thought was that since no one really like these anymore i would try and make a list where you could actually use them a little. not sure if it works or not but it seems like an army with a little more speed in it than the usual saurus warriors list... The banner of swiftness is to try and make the Temple guards follow along with the rest of the army.

i'm not sure if i should try and fit in some Chameleons since i would really have a problem facing a Warmachine-heavy army but to do that i would have to remove some of the CoC and i kind of want to have as many CoC as possible.

i thought about not taking as many CoC and just take some Scar vets on Cold one since they would count as cavalry as well right?

the Lore is kind of locked on life since i don't have the points for the Cupped hands and i think that the regrowth part works great with tough models like cavalry (I know they counts as 2 models but the lifebloom would return 1 each time right?)

well this was just something i thought about and wanted to try out at some point. unfortunately i won't be able to play the army before December so if anyone have a go with it please tell me.

if anyone have any suggestions to make it a better or a more fun list to play please tell me

(By the way sorry if the my written English is not entirely correct second language...)

I believe Lifebloom only works to heal multi-wound models. I don't think it can resurrect a dead single-wound model.

Does Krox count as core when used with skinks?

 

[n810]

yep they sure do.
a lot like they did in 5th edition.

Looks like an interesting list, very different from those you usually see. I think a unit of chamo skinks would be nice if you can fit them in. I'd suggest taking out one of the Salamanders and running two units of one salamander. Just a thought though.

jup you can use regrowth for that but not lifebloom.

I like your list! Small and powerful with good magic. I think you've got something going here. Just pick your magic lores right depending on what army your going against.
