    Also a fun 1200 list (very risky though, I'd love to try it anyway some day)


    Firelance Starhost

    3x 10 Saurus Knights
    Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur
    Skink Starpriest or Priest

    60 points left, could be a Razordon or Salamander

     

    Tactics: Attack!! If you get your charge you will probably win. Otherwise you'll probably die, but die laughing because this list is so much fun. :D

    Ok I guess that's what I would have tried (as I said I am a fan of Skinks):

    1200 pts pure Seraphon:

    - Skink Chief General (Sickle+Blowpipe)
    - Starpriest

    - 10x Skinks (Boltspitters+Shields)
    - 10x Skinks (Boltspitters+Shields)
    - 40x Skinks (Boltspitters+Shields)

    - 3x Terradon Riders (Bolas)
    - 1x Bastiladon with Solar Engine

    - Shadowstrike Starhost (containing the Starpriest, the Terradons, the 40x Skinks and one 10x Skinks unit)

     

    Tactics: Try to avoid melee, Always buff either the Bastiladon or the biggest Skink unit with the Skink Chief, shoot the hell out of the biggest units (Skeletons aren't too scary if they are less than 30), use the Bastiladon for blocking if they get closer, always retreat with the Skinks when possible to avoid melee. Snipe the enemy hero units using the Terradons. Mystic shield on either a Skink unit that gets attacked or on the Bastiladon.

     

    At 1200 points it isn't as I'd like it to be though. 1600 and upwards it gets interesting because you can add some blockers in front of the Skinks, and maybe an Astrolith Bearer for more re-rolls.

    Thanks for the report, and nice Oldblood you have there!

    I am not too big of a fan of Saurus in general. Guards (Eternal Starhost) could probably have done a better job.

    I think in that fight a Skink army would probably have prevailed. Imagine how a Bastiladon or a Sunfire Thrower Stegadon (maybe buffed by a Skink Chief, +1 on hits, or by an Astrolith Bearer, re-roll hits) would have torn through those Skeletons! Salamanders and Razordons as well. Kroxigors should be able to convert Zombies to mincemeat and Skeletons to bone dust. Even a group of 40 Skinks (buffed by Astrolith and/or Skink Chief) should do major damage there, plus they are faster than the Skellies, retreating from melee if possible.

    I am pretty confident that if you play some of the above with a Shadowstrike Starhost (to snipe the enemy heros) and/or a Thunderquake Starhost (to make the Monsters more durable) you would litter the battlefield with those bony guys' bodyparts. :D

     

    EDIT: Sorry I somehow missed the part saying 1200pts. But it could work.... thinking of a list right now...

    I love that banner, it looks great!

    Also good idea with the red war paint on the Orruks. IMO the naked Orruks' skin is great, but the lack of armor can make them a bit boring regardless of how awesome one paints the skin. The war paint solves that problem to a certain degree.

    My only critique would be that the bones look very bright. Since they are used as weapons by savages I would assume them to be more brown-ish than they are.
    Could be caused the light though, I know some of my colors also look much brighter on pictures taken in a light box than they look in normal light.

    IMO the solar engine Bastiladon is much better than the Ark of Sotek one in most cases.

    As for Krox: I like how they look but they haven't been very good in any match I played them. Might be coincidence though.

    The Starseer... I don't know. From reading its warscroll I don't like it much at that cost, but I see it on a lot of lists by other people. Might get one and try it myself.

    Engine of the Gods sucks because of the summoning nerf. Not worth it IMO, but a Slann makes it decent at least.
