    Hi Guys,

    Returning to the game after some time off. Hooray. Still very new, learning the rules etc but I used to be a very competitive WMH player.

    Thoughts on this? Not sure where Items should go

    Scar Vet on Carnosaur (Should this be a slann?)
    Saurus Astrolith Bearer
    Starseer
    Priest

    30 Skinks
    10 Skinks
    10 Skinks

    Bastiladon
    Bastiladon

    6 Ripperdactyls

    Shadowstrike Starhost

    Welcome to AoS, and welcome to Lustria!

    The Carnosaur in your list is a bit of an odd choice, yes. Not that he isn't awesome, he just doesn't synergize well with the rest.
    I would indeed take a Slann. Slanns are HUGE in this edition.

    Shadowstrike with Rippers is always a good choice, and so are Bastiladons.

    Your star seer is not useful at all in this list beside the carnosaur. I would drop both for a slann and some melee troops.

    As others have stated the Carny and Starseer don't synergize well with the rest of your units, replace the Carny with a Slann drop the Starseer and bulk out other units, Slann can summon in skinks easily etc.

    Thanks so much for the very practical feedback guys!

    I really dont know what i'm doing, yet. Just wanted to get to a point where I can field 2k :)

    I can see Slanns are very much in vogue. Will have a thorough read and report back after my first few games.

    That is one excellent looking army! A noob painting question. Do you paint all the bits before you glue them together or only for the bigger models with howdahas like the bastilidons?
