Well This is what im running against a few friends in a campaign thing we are doing, my opponents are dark elves, warriors of chaos with a slaanesh flair, and ogres or skaven(not too sure he hasnt decided yet) well the therory is cram my fifteen saurus down somethings throat, use the skinks to harass/distract from shooting the saurus warriors or the bastilladon and well the solar engine does the initative boost thing and uses its bound spell to blast crap. i picked lore of heavens for the buff spells and debuff spells it has...i know wyssans on saurus warriors is gross but i been doing pretty good with heavens so far. so im sticking with it who knows maybe ill get comet or chain lighting.

anyway thoughts would be appreciated.

so i guess the tactics and unit selection is sound then all right im gonna run it and see what happens.

I would personally drop the champion from the saurus warriors and then down the priest to a lvl 1 in exchange for 18 total warriors (503 points total I think)

Skinks are good harassment units for sure. I would also be tempted to take a salamander hunting pack instead of the bastilidon so you have more points for another group of skirmishers

Smart. Basty's solar beam is ok, but sally's flaming breath and oceans of skink poison always work (ish)

Also the list as is is 15 points over? So something's got to give anyway.

dang didnt realize i was fifteen over...hmmm...well the problem is i just ordered the basty. so im gonna use him. the only option i have is either drop the priest to a level one and get more skirmishers and run lore or beasts...or drop a two sarurs warriors and adding a skink and keeping the priest the same. i really dig lore of heavens so id like to keep that if at all possible...

so whats the thought on razordons vs salamanders i really dig the razordons... cause artillary dice worth of shorts was thinking about ordering three after i get this current order painted up.

Easier fix: drop the saurus champion, drop the priest to level 1, then give him ruby ring of ruin and a random 5 point item of your choosing (dragonbane gem most likely). Having a single spell means you don't intend to do much casting, and the extra magic missile should pay out in such low points.

I've played against pretty much all lizardmen units except the carnosaurs and let me tell you if you run 2 salamanders and plop them in some woods they are EXTREMELY annoying. I find that they are more effective than the razordons and the salamanders cast quite a while just give them an extra handler.

I do agree with boss salvage if you want to keep the bastilidon. Ruby ring of ruin will give you another spell to use that will probably be effective!

so finalized the list for my five hundred points it is the following and we have to name our stuff so i named all my stuff after mexican dishes.

If you are running a level 1 priest i would go lore of beasts and join him to the saurus.

sig spell for +1 str and T on saurus is awesome.

other than that i would run the list as is.

Or on the bastiladon to help make him relevant? I'm all about Lore of Beasts in general, but the real leg up here is that Heavens has a meh signature spell, and with just a level 1 you have to assume you'll be defaulting to Spell #0 from time to time

Otherwise dig the list!

well i played lore of beasts (with my brets and lizards) and lore of heavens and i like heavens a bit more thats all, sides this is supposed to be for a campaign and heavens has some good spells to choose from for buffs and debuffs yea +1 t and s and what i roll for my first spell is what i stick with until i upgrade him to level two. i dunno....i kinda dig ice shard blizzard.
