As I intimated in my greetings thread, here is a thread for my currrent league lizardmen.
The team is as follows:
#1 Saurus with 5 SPP
#2 Saurus with Block and 11 SPP
#3 Saurus with Block and 7 SPP
#4 Saurus with Block, -MA and 9 SPP
#5 Saurus with Block and 13 SPP
#6 Saurus with Block and 13 SPP
#7 Skink with Side Step and 6 SPP
#8 Skink with Catch, (3,3) and 17 SPP
#9 Skink with +MA, Sure Feet, (4,1) and 40 SPP
#10 Skink with Catch and 13 SPP
#11 Skink with Side Step and Diving Tackle and 18 SPP
#12 Skink with 0 SPP
#16 Kroxigor with Stand Firm, Block and 16 SPP
Apothecary, 9 FF, 4 rerolls, 1 assistant coach and 1 cheerleader.
Team Value is 1 720 000 with 200 000 in the treasury.
Obviously, developmentwise I'll be trying to skill up the Sauri and the Kroxigor. Otherwise, the skinks are used as markers, ball carriers and mobile assists while the Sauri do the heavy lifting. The Krox is a roadblock, and choosing Stand Firm has been very useful, especially with the Prehensile Tail she has.
Here is a summary of the games played thus far:
First six games wereplayed in the open league with no structure and no final prizes:
1 vs. High Elves, TD 3-0, cas 1-0. A good start.
2 vs. Dark Elves, TD 2-2, cas 6-0. While a draw, the Cas more tham made up for it.
3 vs. Wood elves, TD 2-3, cas 5-2. Lots of good stuff here, although I lost
4 vs. Orcs, TD 1-1, cas 2-3. Got lost in a grind here.
5 vs. Skaven, TD 2-2, cas 2-1. *#@¤! those Gutter Runners!
6 vs. Chaos, TD 1-1, cas 4-2. Good game, but they really started killing me in the second half. Luckily, nothing permanent (except for 1 dead skink, but that got apo'ed)
Now, the real league matches (the league is 6 games long with 2 more for the semifinals and finals):
Match 1 (sep2010): vs. Orcs (same ones I'd played and drawn before)
I won 3-1, but lost the casualties 0-4. This game caused the -MA to my saurus #4. The apo tried to make it better, but only succeeded in making it a niggle. I preferred the -MA.
Match 2 (oct2010): vs. the Undead. I won 1-0, and caused two casualties, while receiving none. The opponent was relatively inexpeienced, but I also rolled very well on armor penetration, with a lot of his zombies in KO. Still, a good game with many good moments. The second half was especially interesting with a succesful use of an asymmetrical defense lineup. It caused the corpses to set up on one side, and I managed to bog them down in a grind that lasted the entire half.
November's match will be against a Goblin team, which I expect will be both fun and interesting. They will have a LOT of inducement gold, unless they perform remarkably well in their October match versus the orcs previously mentioned.
