I first got into Fantasy about a year ago, and then promptly stopped playing. I think it has something to do with living in the shadow of the Leadership 2 crew, who are really, really good. It makes it a hard meta to break into.
Anyway, I've got a new buddy who's starting Wood Elves, which means that my interest in Fantasy has a new lease on life. Finally, an opponent I stand a chance of beating! Anyway, we've got a small game scheduled for the Thursday after next. This is also my first attempt using the new army book.
Anyway, here's it goes: questions and comments are welcome.
Lords
• Slann Mage-Priest (BSB) (High Magic) w/Lichebone Pennant, Higher State of Consciousness
Heroes
• Skink Priest (Lore of Beasts) w/Dragonbane
Core
• 40 Saurus Warriors (Full Command) w/Spears
• 20 Skink Skirmshirs w/Blowpipes
Special
• 8 Cold One Riders (Full Command) w/Spears
Rare
• 2 Salamander Hunting Packs
Well... nobody's commented yet, so I guess I'll outline my thought process here. It's pretty basic, though.
The Saurus horde is my anvil, the cold one riders are my hammer, and the skink skirmishers are my harassers/charge redirectors. I picture the priest as marching with the Saurus, though I suppose he could hang out with the Skinks if I felt like it. The Slann is meant to just hang out in the back and sling spells. He's got Higher State of Consciousness because I didn't want to fit temple guard in at this points level. The lichebone pennant is meant to help protect him from the one thing that could weaken him: magical attacks. When I boost the list to 2k, I'll probably drop the Higher State thing and have him ride with a temple guard bus.
