1250pt campaign, skink list

[camo-skink]

the champaign got called off due to lack of participants, (people have a ton of plans of memorial day weekend), so this will just be for casual play.

heros:
skink chief, general
- terradon mount
- staff of the lost sun, enchanted shied
- light armor
- 137 points

skink priest, level 2 wizard
- cloak of feathers
- plaque of tepok
- 140 points

skink priest, level 1 wizard
- staff of sorcery
- 105 points

core:
skink cohort (16 skinks, 2 kroxigor)
- standard bearer, musician
- standard equipment
- 204 points

skink cohort (16 skinks, 1 kroxigor)
- standard bearer, musician
- standard equipment
- 149 points

4 skink skirmisher regiments (10 in a unit)
- blowpipes
- 70 points per unit, 280 total

skink skirmisher regiment (11 in a unit)
- blowpipes
- 77 points

special:
2 chameleon skinks (7 in a unit)
- standard equipment
- 84 points per unit, 168 total

terradon rider regiment (3 in a unit)
- 90 points per unit

rare:
razordon hunting pack (2 razordons, 6 handlers)
- 150 points

the chief will be joining the terradons, the skink priest with cloak will be solo, and the the level one will join the unit of 11 skink skirmishers. that puts me at me at a total of 1500 points, feel free to criticizes and comment as much as you like.

heros:
skink chief, general
- terradon mount
- piranha blade, enchanted shied
- blowpipe, light armor
- 145 points
Interesting setup. Could be useful at times.

skink priest, level 2 wizard
- cloak of feathers
- plaque of tepok
- 140 points
Not a big fan of the cloak, as I would rather have him in the protection of a unit. A powerstone may be of more use, or the rod of the storm.

core:
skink cohorts (16 skinks, 2 kroxiogr in a unit)
- musician
- 196 points
Not a huge fan of this unit, but if you are going to run it, get your skinks up to 24 so you can have the full compliment of 3 kroxigors. And I would add a standard bearer.

4 skink skirmisher regiments (12 in a unit)
- blowpipes
- 84 points per unit
12 gets a little unwieldy. I would drop to 10. And give up a unit or two to get the extra kroxigor and skinks.

special:
2 chameleon skinks (8 in a unit)
- 96 points per unit
I think one unit would be sufficient.

terradon rider regiment (3 in a unit)
- 90 points per unit
Since you want your chief in combat, I would add a brave just in case of a challenge you don't want to meet.

rare:
razordon hunting pack ( 2 razordons, 6 handlers)
- 150 points
I would add another razordon to this unit.

An all skink list is fragile, but fun.

Good luck,

I'll drop my opinion in as well.

Heroes: I like the skink chief setup, but you might consider the dagger of sotek instead of the piranha blade. Also I have to disagree with sirkently on the cloak ,though, as I find a flying caster useful, and you'd have to drop the kroxigor to be able to put him in the cohort unit to keep him safe. Consider putting the priest on an EoTG. It's a big point sink at this point level, but it would probably be worth it. They might call cheese though...

Core: I like kroxigor as far as a theme goes, but they aren't really the best for the points. I don't think you need more then 2 because any more would drain points from the rest of your army, and with all skinks you need every unit you can afford. I agree that you only need units of 10 for the skirmishers, but I think you would be better with lots of skirmishers than a kroxigor, but that's just me.

Special: Chameleon skinks are good, but terradons are great! Consider getting two terradon units, though the chameleon's won't let you down either. Looks good other than that.

Rare: I have no experience with razordons, but I've heard salamanders are better. Then again I don't know first hand, so think what you will of that.

A few minor tweaks and the list will look as good as a skinky list can. Good luck in the tournament by the way!

i find that my skink list realy doesn't work unless i have an engine of the gods in it to blast away enemies and give my skinks a 5+ ward. i had an 8th edition game today against dark elves and got decimated cos i couldn't take it in my points allowance. i did get to take tehenhauin in 1000pts but couldn't get into combat.
