Hi everyone, I used to play WFB when I was younger, now I pace the realm of WH40K for a quiet long time. With the change of WFB to AoS I want to complete an army again and play with Lizardmen/Seraphon. I have got some miniatures but, to be honest, do not orient so much in AoS yet. So I present my old-new army list and will be pleased if You comment and support my efforts with starting-up. I do not know where I should take the points from so I present it without point compilation (as it was previously said that in AoS there are no points but, to my satisfaction, there really are.). 10 x skinks with blowpipes 10 x skinks with blowpipes 5 x Cameleon Skinks 3 x Terradon 1 x Skink Priest 1 x Skink Starseerer (I read some army lists and forums and extracted that he is quiet good to have one) And now some heavy drilling stuff Stegadon or a Salamander ? I have got them all but don't know what is most appropriate for a small list. I do not like playing with Saurus Regiments so I do not take them into account on purpose. Thank You very much for reading and I hope that I will not discourage You. Looking forward for comments!
Welcome aboard! For this list if you want 1000 points I would take in addition to what you have: Shadowstrike Starhost Skink Chief as your general 2× salamanders with 2× handlers Or drop the salamanders and take 2 units of 20 skinks. But I like the Stegadon better So I would take your list add the chief and the Shadowstrike Starhost, and put in the stegadon. it is a gun stompy beast that will give you a bit more hitting power.
Shadowstrike starhost is neat! I took 6 rippers and watch the world burn... Its all about manuver, in a skink army you cant take a punch. But you could deliver one- thats why im suggesting rippers over terradons.
Alright - so initially summing-up Heros: Skink Chief (can it be any skink who will be entitled as a Skink Chief? I have some in my army but on GW website the model of Skink Chief is no more) Skink Priest Skink Starseer (is he much different than starpriest?) Basic: 2x20 Skink Skirmishers (or 2x10 + 2xSalamanders) 5xCameleon 3xTerradons (or Rippers) Or should I change salamanders into Rippers/Terradons ? Which option is better? Thanks You very much for your effort : )
It is discontinued but you can still find them, or make one skink stand out from the rest. Proxies are usually okay, as long as it doesn't look like a regular troop. if they all pile in together the opponent should be able to tell them apart. Also a starseer is a fantastic unit. There is a huge difference . The rerolls, curse of fates is an amazing spell.
Here is how I would build: List Summary Leaders Skink Chief (60) - General - Golden Sickle Skink Starpriest (100) Skink Starseer (160) Units Skinks x 10 (80) - Boltspitters & Star bucklers Skinks x 10 (80) - Boltspitters & Star bucklers Terradon Riders x 3 (140) - Starstrike Javelins Behemoths Stegadon (260) War Machines Batallions Shadowstrike Starhost (120) Total: 1000/1000 Just my inital thoughts.
