Huntsmen vs Thunderclan - 2,250pts 7th

[Huntsmen]

Here's the thread for our game. Do you have any preference to what army you face, if not I'll just roll randomly for it.

How's this map...

[Thunderclan]

Map looks good, just so we can avoid any confusion what is the terrain for the Stonehengey circle and the rock with trees?

My only preference for who I face is that they not be Vampire Counts. I just don't think I'm experienced enough to take on something like that. Otherwise you're free to choose

[Huntsmen]

Okay how about this - inside the stone circle is difficult and each pillar blocks line of sight. The rocky crag is impassible and blocks LoS.

I rolled my army randomly and got Lizardmen.

So here is a toned down version of my normal list adding a few fun elements.

Lizardmen - 2,250pts
Lord
Slann - Focused Rumination, Focus Mystery, Becalming Cogitation, BSB, Disple Scroll

Hero's
Skink Priest - Lvl2, Engine of the Gods, Plaque of Tepok, Dispel Scroll
Skink Priest - Lvl2, Blood Statuette of Spite

Core
20 Sarus Warriors - spears, standard, mus
11 Skinks - Kroxigor, mus
11 Skinks - Kroxigor, mus
10 Skink Skirmishers

Special
14 Temple Guard - standard, mus
4 Terradon Riders
5 Cold One Cavalry - mus

Rare
Salamander - extra skink
Salamander - extra skink

[Thunderclan]

Sounds good, and that army looks like it will be fun to fight against

I'm still working on mine (Curse this army book having so many choices!) So I probably won't have it up until morning.

[Huntsmen]

Thats fine mate. I'll try get my key up tonight. Yeah mu usual list drops the Skinks in favour of a Ancient Steg with Skink Chieftan and a killer Scar-vet.

[Thunderclan]

I'm thinking that once more my opponent has a more recent army book then I do (Or I'm just completely blind) so I'm wondering if you could explain a few things in your army that I can't find in my book.

Focused Rumination
Focus Mastery
Becalming Cogitation
Engine of the Gods
Plague of Tepok (Is that supposed to be Plaque of Tepok?)

[Huntsmen]

Yes of course.

Focused Rumination - +1 power dice with each casting
Focus Mystery - knows all spells of a lore
Becalming Cogitation - one enemy Wizard of my choosing at the start of your magic phase dicards 6's even those that casue IF
Blood Statuette - bound 5, enemy character must pass T test or take a wound, continues till is past
Plaque of Tepok - grants an extra spell

And the Engine of the Gods is a Ancient Stegadon mount for a Skink Priest which has three powers of which I can choose one each magic phase as well as making him a Lvl 3 Wizard (+1 dispel and powerdice).
1 - Every enemy within 2d6' suffer d6 str4 hits with no save
2 - All units within 12' have a 5+ ward from shooting outside 12'
3 - All casting values of a choosen lore are reduced by 1

[Thunderclan]

Oh, this is going to be VERY interesting

Though I have to bring this up. According to my books the Plaque of Tepok can only be taken by a Slann. Did that change in the book you have?

[Huntsmen]

Yes it did indeed. And means my Skink on Engine is a Lvl3 caster in all but name. Its a stable choice in most armies.

[Thunderclan]

Well, I had to recalculate 3 times but I finally got my army sorted
Just going to warn you right now, This is my first fight with magic and war machines and flyers so I'm bound to make some mistakes.
