2000 point, Magic Heavy for Friendly games.

[cthulhu]

Heya,

I've drafted up a Magic Heavy list for friendly games against Dwarves and Tomb Kings.

At present it stands at

Slann Mage-Priest
Focus of Mystery
The Focused Rumination
Higher State of Consciousness
Cupped Hands of the Old Ones
Divine Plaque of Protection
Battle Standard
Standard of Discipline
490


2 x 10 Skink Skirmisher
70

140

2 x 20 Saurus Warriors
Saurus Champion
Musician
Standard Bearer
250

500


20 Temple Guard
Revered Guardian
Musician
Standard Bearer
395

2 x 5 Chameleon Skinks
60

120


2 x Hunting Pack
2 x Salamander
8 x Handler
160

320



TOTAL - 1965

Now I'm damn sure this list needs some tweeking but I'm new to fantasy, so I can only hope someone can give me some pointers.

Thanks.

ps. just noticed I put the wrong size prefix... my bad

EDITED, corrected with help from SirKently and Noma, I've got a few points spare, I'll probably bung them on some magic Items for the Temple Guard, Ironcurse Icon for starters)

You need a major redo here. First off, you don't have enough core to meet the 25% minimum. You need to have 500 points worth. Your rare choices are over the 500 point limit. Monster heavy is fine for fun games if the point limit is at least 2500. At 2k, I would leave the stegs at home and concentrate more on warriors, and salamders.

I will be looking for the revision,

Thanks... I knew I'd have made newbie mistakes :p

I've editted my post.

If your not running a temple guard bunker, and you intend to run him solo take shadow magic.

Skink Priest
Plaque of Tepok
Engine of the Gods
370

It's a rather expensive choice at 2k pts, I agree with SirKently here, drop it and save the points for a unit of saurus warriors. Second, the plaque won't come in handy too often because most of your PD will be going into your slann's spells. The priest will hardly get off 1 spell let alone a second or third.

Skink Chief
Venom of the Firefly Frog
Javelins
Light Armour
Shield
Ironcurse Icon
82

Skink Chief
Sword of Battle
Javelins
Light Armour
Shield
87

I don't really like skink chief's all that much, I would drop them and use the points for more units. Characters won't win you games, sure they help, but combat troops ultimately win it for you in the end.

You need some meat to your army, no temple guard or saurus does not bode well for you when CC arises. Grab 2 large units of saurus warriors to bolster your offense and army value, they're one of the best core choices in the game, not to mention reasonably cheap with a nice stat line.

2 x 5 Chameleon Skinks
Stalker
66

132

Drop the stalkers, not worth the points for the additional attacks.

2 x Hunting Pack
2 x Salamander
8 x Handler
160

320

Nice

The list is pretty good, but lacks offense, skinks are good, but more often than not they won't get the job done.

Noma said everything I would say. Warriors and salamanders plus the slann are our mainstays. They are what you build the army around.
