Went for something a little more standard this time.
Old-Blood (264)
w/ Brand new Jordans, Venom of the Firefly Frog, Aura of Quetzl, gw, la, Sotek, Quetzl, Tepok
Skink Chief
w/ Cloak of Feathers, Sword of Might, Sotek, la, Shield
Skink Priest
w/ 2 scrolls
24 Saurus (318)
w/ FC
24 Saurus (318)
w/ FC
10 Skinks (x4) (240)
w/ Javs
10 Skinks (70)
w/ Pipes and Scouting
3 Kroxigors (174)
3 Kroxigors (174)
3 Salamanders (195)
PD: 3 (only 2 usable )
DD: 4 w/ 2 scrolls
Models: 110
The characters are obvious, except for maybe the chief, who is basically used for hunting and war machine killing. The rest of it is pretty standard tease and flank army.
I played it tonight against Skaven, who's list went something like this:
Grey Seer, 2 warlock engineers (or whatever), a BSB, 5 Units of 25 Clanrats, 3 Ratling Guns, 2 units of 5 skirmished rats, and 8 or so gutter runners.
I lined up in battle line formation, with the sauri units in the middle, Kroxs on the flanks, Sallies on the far right, along with the OB, Chief on the far left flank, and skinks all across the front.
He deployed his clanrats in the middle board to stare down my sauri, with guns in between units, his skirmishers hanging out in the back ranks. The Greyseer was in the middle, the BSB to my left of him, and the Warlocks on their flanks (all in their units).
His Turn 1: He marched up his full ten inches in everything, except for his clanrats on my far right, which had some troubles with some impassible terrain. Also, his skirmishers didn't more up for some unknown reason. He then began blasting away the skinks in front of my right side kroxigors and a spare unit on the far left. He detroyed them both completely, and gave my chief a notch on his wounds. Additionally, he also cast some frenzy spell on his BSB unit, which I allowed. teehee
My Turn 1: I moved up each of my remaining skink units 6 inches, then moved up my sauri and Kroxs up just under 4 inches, to stay out of charge range. My chief also charged the warlock on my left. The skinks shot down his 3 ratling guns with little effort, and my chief went ahead and killed his warlock. Luckily enough, he didn't get killed by the other rats, and passed his break test!
His Turn 2: His frenzied unit went ahead and tried to charge my skinks, from which they fled, popping out the other end of the saurus. His 2 other units able to did the same thing... for some reason.
My Turn 2: I'll make it simple; he had 3 units that had all failed their charges at exactly the same place, so they all got charged by my two sauri units in the front and the 2 Krox units on the side. He lost combat by 11, and got ran down.
The rest of the game was cleaning up the unit that got charged by the chief, and a unit that fled in turn 2. Every one of his models was destroyed.
Seems pretty good to me, I think I'll play it for a few weeks. Any thoughts? Suggestions? Questions?
