Hey guys Going in a 2-Dayer mid-october and thinking about my list alot So far i've come up with this Allegiance: Seraphon - Constellation: Dracothion's Tail Lord Kroak (320) Slann Starmaster (260) Saurus Astrolith Bearer (140) Skink Priest (70) Skink Starpriest (120) 5 x Saurus Guard (100) 10 x Skinks (60) 10 x Skinks (60) 12 x Salamander Hunting Pack (330) 12 x Salamander Hunting Pack (330) Balewind Vortex (40) Bound Geminids of Uhl-Gysh (70) Bound Purple Sun of Shyish (60) Total: 1960 / 2000 Extra Command Points: 0 Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 94 Suggestions?
I have almost exactly the same list except i only intend to use 1 full squad of sallies and take a big block of skinks and a few 10s instead.
Everything looks good except Im not sure what the purpose of the Priest and Starpriest is. They have very little effect on Salamanders and usually you want to deepstrike Salamanders with the DT ability which happens at the end of the movement, but the Skink buffs happen in the hero phase.
I played a similar list on Saturday. The list can kill almost anything, but catching up on points when they swarm objectives for early leads is problematic. You lack things to take objectives from the enemy. Sally's can only do so much.
Probably skinks, salamander and skink priest. Skinks are cheap and you can always do with 10 more bodies, salamanders are good for value. Skink priest just in case the one you started dies early
I like to keep a Priest or two just in case you play on Places of Arcane Power as well. Otherwise agreed - I only find myself summoning screens of 10 Skinks or 1 Salamander if I need more firepower.
