7th Ed. Stegadon based army

ok I am in lack of the new army book, but hopefully i can peek into it friday.
so here is my concept army for 2000/ 2500 points
point calculation is a rough guess, so these are not original..

2x skink priest's on EOTG. should be about 900 pts.

1 stegadon should be about 350
1250

core:
15 saurus full comamnd should be about 200 points
2x 10 skimmer skinks should be about 150 points.

special:
4 terradons= should be about 150 points

rare:
pack of 3 razordons should be about...uhm 150 to?

about 100 points left for compensation

2000points


for extra 500 points would be:
scar vet incl items should be about 200 points

3 razordons should be about 150.

add +2 terradons should be about 70.

10 skink skimmers should be about 70

about 2500 points..

will this massive rampage work? or should i dump a eotg for a normarl steggie en add some more troops? ( excl the priest)

 

I added the points up and you have enough left for another stegadon/ancient stegadon in both lists. That many giant dino's would cause some fear in any opponents heart.

 

yea i made a stegadon/skink army list of my own for 7th that has

2 chiefs on stegs
1 EotG
1 regular stegadon

throw in the handler units and flyers and some core skinks

its pretty much a shooty list with big dinos lol

 

Holy crap!!!
And you did count the extra magiclevels and magic item options with that? If so another skink priest on eotg is coming up.

 

Sorry, I did my math a little wrong, but if in your normal list you only take 30 points of magic items on each preist, then you can afford one normal stegadon. Your 2500 list however can still take a full EotG, or 2 normal stegadons.

 

ok thanks i got now a quite good idea of what i can do in a 2000 pt army
hopefully i can make my list friday with the added points costs...

I understand that the preists are now still lv 1 casters in teh 2k list?

 

they've always been lvl 1 that you pay to upgrade to 2

 

ok so if i will dump one terradon i can make both priest lvl 1 and add like 1 or 2 items. `= a normal steggie


sounds good.

 

Ok is was able to make a list this event, beware the rampage!!!!!

2x skink priest lv2 on eotg
1schroll and diadem
1schroll and rod of storm
440 each


Skink chief on ancient
Stegi War spear
General

2 x10 skirmishers 70 each
10 ranked skinks 50 each
190 core

3 terradons 90 each

Stegadon 285 each
375 special

3 razordons
225 rare

1995 points

It is even possible to get a 5th stegi who replaces the razordons. Then it will be 2000 points!!!


What do you think?

 

Wow, that looks pretty cool. Permission to liberally steal your list?

 

Yeah sure!! Kust let me know how your battles have gone with it

 

Lol! A friend of mine always gets nervous when my steggi comes near his units.. an I've never fielded more than one.. Mohahaha!!

 

Lol, why dont you try itout?

Btw if i hold all Stegs A bit together ik can unleash 12d6 shots from the giant blowpipes!!! Combine with the razors im actially able tot destroy al whole unit at once!!! And that on 12" means you really mess up the enemys line before the charging!!!

In addition the howdah weapons are Not warmachines!!! This means hou van stand and shoot! Even in chief bs of he is mounted!!! Hell these thing rock at combat, shooting and magic !!!!!

 

i don't think the chief can ride an ancient... just the regular

but your list here... is almost identical to the list i made

 

Yes it is allowed. IK chose the ancient bevouse ill then get s6 impact hits.

 

LoL The ancient stegadon w/ Giant Blowpipes can stand&shoot ?

You absolutely sure about that ? If that would be possible its one big nasty armykilling dino :d.

 

I was wondering about that. It doesn't say in the army book that it can't. Then again it doesn't say that it can either...

 

Dave, when a engine is joined, all of the howda weapons are replaced So no 12d6 poisend shots u little pokemon of mine

HK

 

yeah.
the treeman can stand and shoot to with its strangel root

but it doesn't say it is a warmachine. it only penetrates ranks like a bolthrower, that's it.
doesn't it say in the empire and dwarwf book that hellblasters, organ gun and such are warmachines?

ok cannons, bolthrowers and stone throwers is explained in the brb. that's obvious those are warmachines.

@harm: shhhhttt, no body needs to know!!!

awh well 4d6 is good enough. and still got the d6 s4 hits 2d6 ranged...

 

The BRB states the default S&S rules, the actual units rules would have to disallow (i.e. warmachines) it from this reaction type. So there is no reason for the units rules to specifically include S&S.
