Army List Review

[Van Evok]

well, either go with more knights, and hit faster than they shoot you (get some furies and screamers to chase off artillery crews), or invest in really big blocks of chaos warriors (20+) for resilience in wounds. Mounted marauders are always good thing as fast cavalry is in general. And if you want scary max power dice army, invest in marked chariots, best cost per power dice.

I finally got the new army book 3 days ago. I am still learning fantasy. But am an avid 40K player. I had 2 of the 6th ed starter sets and a battle for skull pass set to work with. A friend gave me all the other odds n ends. So this is the list I have formed from all that.

RARE

1 Troll 60
River type

Total 2489 91 footsloggers 3 chariots

I figure one of my shamans can stay with the troll. Put a chariot between my units to prevent attacks due to animosity. I know arrers are not that great; same goes for night gob archers. I have to many to let them lie in a box. So I figured who knows the stand and shoot might be handy also they can kill fanatics when they spin back at me. I figure use the night gobz as my forward line. Then as they flee my Orcs can push through them for the second wave. With the chariots coming in with them. It should be devestating.

Thanks for any and all replies.

The only problem I cna see with so many goblins I'd fear half my army running away on me  

[Van Evok]

I'd love to pop Shadowblade in the middle of this green horde, and release all the fanatics in random directions, not to mention possibly assassinating poor gobbo shaman lord...

Read the rulebook for Fantasy and talk to Staff members. Fantasy is quite different from 40K. Movement values, different unit formations, spells, more phases, etc.

Not to mention it is made to be a little more difficult, which makes it more fun to play since you aren't being bothed with too many little kids.

I hear you on that, one of the reasons I stoped going to my local store. Too many kids. Though, this one kid actualy played, and quite well. I managed to only force a draw on him... But he was being tought by one of our local out riders.

Ah, one of the very few that I can stand and could play a game of Warhammer with. I wish I ran into them more often than those lil kids that can be a real pain. I got a friend who knows that feeling too, all the lil kids seem to know him, and can't even play a good game.

The ones that realy get me, are the ones that come in off the street. The ones that don't know anything about Warhammer. Standing at the edge of the table, asking a million questions, picking up your models(usualy breaking them...) then place them down where they don't belong. And if they're realy little kids, the asking from the parents shoulder, "Can I have that, can I have that, can I have that?" stressed So damn anoying. And the parents don't silence the kid.

Yeah I know, they have no respect for anything anymore. I had a kid one time I was gaming come up and start looking through my rulebook without asking, and when I go to check something I notice him. Well, I know he's a little kid so I say nicely, "Excuse me, can I have my book back I kinda need to take a look at it, if you want to look at it all you have to do is ask next time." He looks at me, scaried I'm going to eat or something, and gives me my rulebook and runs off. Not only that, but I've ask me constant nonstop question before too, but I always catch them before they start to go for my models.  

[Luminatus]

Here's my list. Mind I'm working with what I have. So far I've bought the batallion box and a couple skink heros. I have the Kroq Gar model I just don't have enough points to use an oldblood yet.

Here it goes.
Hero's
Skink chief (General)
-Light Armour
-Shield
-Belssing of Sotek
-Bane Head
-Burning Blade of Chotek
-Scouts

This is my hero killer, he stalks around with one of the skin units and wacks a couple heros heads in.

Skink Chief
-Light armour
-Staff of the Lost Sun

Long ranged support... Well long for a skink

Core
Skinks
-10 models strong
-Blowpipes
-Scouts
Two units of these.
They run up the board and harass the enemy, simple yet effective.

Special
Saurus Cavalry
-5 lizards strong
-Full command

Heavy cavalry, 'nough said.

Saurus Warriors
-20 Lizards
-Full Command
-Blessing of Quetzl
Two squads of these.
My main front. These can take a beating, and with the cold blooded rule, keep on fighting.

I've also got a skink priest model, however for simplicities sake I dropped it along with 4 skinks to make a 1196 point list. (Was 1200 but forgot to drop scouts cost.)
Tell me what you think and where I should go from here. I enjoy the solidness of the Warriors, and how much punishment they take befor breaking.
Once one squad of 20 managed to hold a stegadon, a squad of 3 saurus cavaly and 3 terradons for about 5 turns of combat. The steg hit the front, the terradons the turn after in the rear and then the cavalry into the side about two turns later. It took another turn of combat after that to finally wipe them off the board. It was awsome.

[Luminatus]

Ineor, you do know that you only buy the magical shield and not the mundane one? If you read it, it says "counts as normal shield but with X" wheather its an extra bit of armour save or a magical ability.

Just so you know, could save you a couple points.  

[Inenor]

ah, thankya kindly Luminatus
