    More Monsters! I've been looking at the spells for the Path of Light and man there are some good ones in there. It might be tough getting them off because of the high casting cost and only having a lvl 3 though. The plan is having the Totem Warriors act as anvil while the monsters hit the flanks. Tried to make up for their low speed by including the triple march banner. I do have a feeling that I am not bringing that much to the table. I'm used to having a bunch of Rippers in my dual Carno (well more like Dual T-Rex) lists, but I do want to try out how the Godly Engine works. The 6++/5++ vs ranged is pretty Godly alright! I am hoping that the Godly Engine, together with the reduction in power of Cannons and new LoS rules can mitigate ranged damage.

    A big downside is that the tournament I would be attending is 3 battles which can be heavily influenced by banners:

    Scenario 1: side with most banners within 6 inch from the middle of the board is awarded 200 VP
    Scenario 2: every banner in opponents deployment zone awards an extra 75 VP
    Scenario 3: following VP are awarded (instead of regular Seized Standard) for banners killed in combat
    BSB: 150
    Core: 100
    Special: 150
    Rare: 200
    So you see that banners will play a big role and that I only have access to 2 of them. I was thinking of maybe dropping my Saurus Warriors and going full Skink Core with small units and banners, but I would hate to give my opponent an easy 200 points. Skinks are agile yes, but any Fast Cav of Flying unit will catch them and wreck them.

    In any case what do you guys think? First real 9th age list and any comments and feedback would be greatly appreciated!
