I tried in games with less points but the same idea, and the knights big unit with all buffs from scar-veteran was awesome, plus the double roar ability of the carnosaurs make extremely easy to kill hard enemy units in 1 charge (like gore-gruntas, big cavalry with 5 wounds and 4+ save each one). Warriors and guards can take objectives and tank, with priest and starpriest buffing here and there, and the bastiladon for shooting and tanking.
You're missing a hero from the Bloodclaw. Need the oldblood plus 3 saurus heroes. Might have to ditch a priest or the warriors for a sunblood or something.
Ok, i will took out the starpriest, and put in a Sunblood to go with guards, he help them kill or tank, and i stil manage to get triumphs....total 1960 pts
LEADERS Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur (320) - General Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (260) Saurus Scar-Veteran on Cold One (100) Saurus Sunblood (120) Skink Priest (100) - Priestly Trappings UNITS Saurus Guard x 10 (200) Saurus Knights x 15 (360) Saurus Warriors x 10 (100) MONSTERS Bastiladon (300) BATTALIONS Bloodclaw Starhost (100) Now the list is correct, what do you think of it?
I will soon have to play vs Skaven, 2000 points, random campaign mission from general's handbook, and random generated artifacts and command trait. Any advice? He take a lots of clan rats, a big unit of stormvermin, a screaming bell, a warpfire cannon, and some weapon teams, like jezzails and warpthrower...oh, and a warbringer verminlord
First take out the chieftan or the greyseer he is using to take away their battleshock. Focus your shots or something that can get that guy. Then the Warlord. He will give the storm vermin yet another attack. Keep them in check with your knights, one unit charges in, the other on standby, retreat with the first and charge in with the standby. Third unit takes over when the first unit dies. Storm vermin will get +1 to hit if they outnumber the unit they are attacking. So you want to take them down in numbers fast and hard. Once you have mowed them down a bit, take out the clan rats so the bell doesn't move. The rest will crumble shortly after. If you can, take out the warriors, add in more guard. The extra defense will come in handy.
Do you think its better to divide the unit of 15 knights in two units or more? He take a skaven warlord for the buffs, but the general will probably be the verminlord, he use a formation so the warlord can still give the bonus attack to others even if not general. He doesn'thave any magic beside the screaming bell's seer, but i think the priest is better than starpriest, if buff goes well, i can crush stormvermin in 1 charge with sunblood command+scar-vet command+priest buff, it will be 45 attacks from cold ones, then 30 shield attack from knights, and 16 attack with lances (additional mortal wound on 6+). Carnosaurs can hunt warlord, where bastiladon can crush verminlord (it is a CHAOS demon^^, every hit will be 3 dmg)
I normally tend to split my knights in two units, charge retreat charge, but if one big unit is working for you don't change it. If he has a chieftan kill it. The battle shock is huge against skaven. VerminLord doesn't bother me. It's easy to kill. Which one though? If it's the eshin one it is a bit more of a pain than the others.
And probably using the verminous clawpack. It will probably be a close game, but it should be a fun one!
Yes, he uses that formation, he take a warpthrower, 2 mortars, 3 jezzail, and a warp lighting cannon, plus 80 clan rats in 3 units (40-20-20), 20 stormvermin, a skaven warlord and the verminlord. I expect a very very close game cause we have similar experience in AoS
