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. Allegiance: Seraphon Leaders Slann Starmaster (260) - General - Trait: Great Rememberer - Artefact: Incandescent Rectrices Saurus Astrolith Bearer (160) - Artefact: Coronal Shield Skink Priest (80) - Priestly Trappings Battleline 30 x Skinks (180) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 30 x Skinks (180) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (60) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers Units 6 x Ripperdactyl Riders (280) Behemoths Bastiladon (280) Bastiladon (280) Battalions Shadowstrike Starhost (180) Endless Spells Chronomantic Cogs (60) Total: 2000 / 2000 Extra Command Points: 1 Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 121
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?
