    After a narrow defeat given out by some Skaven, I had a few ideas to fix my issues. This list heavily drawn from @LizardWizard but with more carnosaurs. The idea is to get a few good alpha strikes and cut out the lynchpin of the enemy army before they can do anything to react.

    Maybe swap unforging for stellar tempest and give the starpriest meteoric convocation?

    Recently I have liked putting Stellar Tempest on my Skinkpriest more than my Slann. I find that I am more likely to need ST than Summon Starlight, now that so many tigers are unmodified 6's. And most of the time I want my CCP from the Slann. If it weren't for casting Cogs from the Starprist I would even be considering swapping them for standard Skink Priest.

    All this is to say that I tend to put a utility spell on my Slann that I am likely to cast turn one. Due to the our allegiance ability that lets us swap the Slann's spell each of our end of Hero phases. I have been taking Mystic Unforging or Claws. I sometimes cast Claws on a group of Razordons before I LoSaT them if I math out not needing 3 CCP.

    ya -1 to be hit doesn't really help most of our low saves now adays, maybe if we had a large regiment that could actually benefit from it

    Yeah, I like taking both priest variants when I run Eternal Starhost or FoS. Having -1 to be hit and rerolling saves can make Saurus Warriors and Eternal Guard respectably durable. Sadly the damage isn't there to chew through other meta units.

    So it did pretty well in a 1000 point game, lost by 1 victory point but killed my opponents heroes entirely
