I want to play with my dread in a tournament. It's mostly for fun, but I still want to do as best as I can. So going for semi-competitive if possible. This is what I have so far. Please let me know what you think and ideas to improve it. Allegiance: Seraphon - Constellation: Thunder Lizard Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur (230) - General - Command Trait: Prime Warbeast Lord Kroak (320) - Spell: Stellar Tempest Skink Starseer (140) - Artefact: Fusil of Conflaguration - Spell: Hand of Glory Saurus Astrolith Bearer (140) 5 x Saurus Guard (100) 10 x Skinks (60) - Meteoric Javelins Celestite Daggers & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (60) - Meteoric Javelins Celestite Daggers & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (60) - Meteoric Javelins Celestite Daggers & Star Bucklers Bastiladon (220) - Weapon: Solar Engine Dread Saurian (510) Balewind Vortex (40) Bound Geminids of Uhl-Gysh (70) Emerald Lifeswarm (50) Total: 2000 / 2000 Extra Command Points: 0 Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 115 Posted list with wrong stuff in it earlier. Here is the correct one I was thinking off.
Yep. The way I personally use 10 man units of skinks, is as screens and to hold objectives. I expect them to soak charges and die, so I don't really use them for shooting. I find that when I do use small 10 man units for shooting, it's because I really need to finish off a unit that has 1 or 2 wounds left. That's why I like javelins on the small units, for that better chance to wound. I like blowpipes on the big units of 30-40 skinks. Then they get the extra attacks and it's enough shots that when buffed by starpriests, you start doing a lot of damage.
You'll do fine with this list if they are allowing realms pick up ghur so you can keep my colleague fighting at the top bracket
