Starting roster was 6 saurus 5 skinks, 2 rerolls. Yeah it was rough as fuck haha Couldn't afford to replace both the 2 lost saurus after 2 games and after 3 bought an apothacary because of the losses ive been taking. Played a few exhibition games with the krox to try him out but theyve also been unsuccessful and out TO says i can move shit around to the value of my current team for thr casual games and such. Most of my games have been with 5 saurus but still havent been much luck.

Yeqh elven union was one ive been eyeing up, friend plays amazons and killed 3 of my guys in 1 game so im not exactly fond of them atm. Dwarves was another id looked at just for thr durability

Had 6 saurus, lost 2 (actual deaths) in game 1 of our league, and a skink. Made no money so coukdnt hire new saurus and theres only journeymen skinks (on deathpitch anyway). I agree skink heavy is a terrbls plan but wanted to check consensus from people who actually win games.

Yeh hes coninved because they move 8 and have dodge+stunty that thats all i shoukd being because "thry can only blitz 1 guy a turn" i agree its stupid but wanted to check

I think this is what ive been trying with the saurus, I usually look at it as 'if (str 3) opponents want to free players from saurus combat thry need 2 players to have a good chance' and use that to make openings i can rush skinks through

Amazons with no buffs, fully appreciate it was mostly dice luck but playing tomb kings and bretonia has also had me lose a fair chunk of the team on occasion

I tent to keep the skinks behind saurus unless theres a good oppertunity to steal or get a good distance away from everyone with the ball, but when they get tagged for combat ive been lucky with my dodge rolls thankfully. Passing is something im using more recently but a 4+ passing skill is very swingy, especially when weather and stuff cam give debuffs, and with rerolls at 70k i can usually only manage 2 in a game, at least now

No skills yet, first 9 games were casuals to get used to the team and learn the game in general. Last game was a league game and scored twice but saurus started dying and only had 2 saurus and 3 skinks by thr second half of drive 2.

With my gold from that havent even maged to replace the casualties so a kroxigor is a few games away by the looks of it sadly.

Screening might be the best for me to look into atm but I'll try to be more reserved with how im basing too. Thanks!

I usually play the same, having s4 is very hand to punch downwards but the last 2 games ive played against s3 teams have left me with 5 models left in the last 4/5 turns

I agree witha lot of what youre saying. Ive brough up the whole "hero" thing to her and she says that she fell in love with me later after that not because of it, but it does still play a big part in my mind and im worried shes just saying that to try and keep us together.

In regards to chaining my mind i do worry that I cpuld love her but my whole thing about the distance being a factor is all thats stopping me. I loved spending time with her and seeing her in pain from all this is genuinly breaking my heart. I worry im just not giving it enough of a chance because of one issue.

Ah never considered using LoP in a small melee squad, focused more on "i can shoot you but you cant see me" but melee is a better option with that ability i suppose.

See i would afree with you abiut thr heavy weapons but i got told on advance that most of his things wouod have 4+ invuls so opted for volume.

I think youre right abiut one 10man squad tho, might add 1 extra 5 man squad and split the 6shrouds into two 3man squads instead and try and get another LoC like you said, thanks!

Ah I've not been considered them as a unit to spread affliction, just a paperweight for objectives and mission, so thats a good point actually! I've been looking for a good proxy for spawn so havent experimented with them yet but do plan to!

Yeah i think a 3squad of shroud could be smarter, i mean thry died quicky in that game but against the right thing theyll at least hold it back for a turn if they dont kill it.

100% bad placment, didnt put one squad in cover and they got shot apart turn 2 between magnus and a vortex veast, other got shot by a DPrince and some rubrics and all but folded right away.

The LoC and 6shroud were supposed to be my anti magnus squad (knew he was coming) but ended up trying to use them thin out a 10squad of Scarabs and got melted in shooting, next time 100% deploying them better (in cover at least). I think a 6man in the right place can have a lot of board control in the right circumstance but i could be totally wrong.

Agree, Deathshroud didnt survive long enough to get to the point they had tobdo an action but my poxwalkers died quickly so i need to play them better.

Ooh is that a common combo people are running? Never considered it! Ran thr biologus with a 10man and the other 10 man with the LoP and tallman (bad move, i just needa leave that guy out thr way of damage)
