For the next blog update I am planning to add photographs of all the Slann regiments I have, whether painted or not, to give people an idea of the army as a whole .<br /><br />Glad someone else thought the Pond Dragon was apt. Unfortunately I never did buy the Citadel Toad Dragon, but I think the Pond Dragon fits the theme just as well. He's a friendly looking chap too :) <br /><br />For the army general I wanted a non-mounted model and thought the idea of Kremlo leading a Slann force bent on revenge would give a good narrative feel. <br /><br />@Asslessman,<br /> thank you too. Now I have the basic 3,000 point Slann army done they are going to be like my Goblins, a project I dip in and out of, a hobby inside a hobby really. I should be concentrating on getting the Dwarves painted, but I do get distracted by things !

Quite recently I think (well 10 or so years really! ) <br />As I commented to Asslessman I think it must be one that never made it into production, but it's a shame it did'nt. I think GW liked the idea of Slann Mages on litters, plus by the late 1980's there was a lot of derision and lack of support for the Slann and so Slann were sidelined. <br /><br />Cold Ones are great, but it is having to write down the intention to charge in the turn before that means you have to have your target clear for two consecutive turns. And if you are open to line of site, then you are right, they become a missile magnet. I played a lot of Wod Elf or Dwarf armies in the 1980's , and that meant that the cold Ones were shot up long before they could do anything. <br /><br />They were only a use in big battles acting as a counter charger behind the lines. I suppose 5 Cold One Riders without a hero is only 185 points, so it might be do-able, but adding heroes like one would with knights makes it very expensive. They might be better as a flank charger, but getting them into postion is the key.

Need a bigger table though! I would like to get the whole army up and running, fully painted. I will see if I can do a photo inventry of it for the weekend, it's works out about just under double the Warhammer Armies Slann army list, somewhere about 350 Slann, plus Lizardmen, Trogs, and Pygmies. <br /><br />With the un-listed miniatures, I remember chatting to a manager (think it was Guy Carpenter who ran my local GW in Brighton) who spent a lot of time at the design studio back in the late 1980's and he said that they sculpted a selection of miniatures and chose the ones that went into full time production.<br /> Perhaps these are some that ended up being given away and the later sold on ? <br /><br />Goblin Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931436821182962785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266200265116124990.post-6507647034775909632013-05-29T19:51:44.128+01:002013-05-29T19:51:44.128+01:00That unlisted sorcerer is rather nice.

What with the price regular Slann go for I can imagine you're sitting on a nice little nest egg with rare unlisted ones!<br /><br />Looks a good list and interesting in terms of tactics as I've never really considered them for Slann - not having a large army like this!<br /><br />I'd be tempted to take some Cold Ones myself - they're only stupid till their first charge and as long as that connects with the enemy you'd be ok. After that they can charge as normal for the next three turns before becoming stupid again. The main problem would be having them chase down routing opponents off the table or into an exposed position. That and they'd probably prove to be a good missile magnet because of their fear factor, terrible smell and -2 save modifier, allowing your infantry blocks to get into combat relatively unscathed.Thantsantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902730729032525538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266200265116124990.post-79311272088988706372013-05-29T17:25:22.793+01:002013-05-29T17:25:22.793+01:00Gawd, not only do you have fine minis but you have...Gawd, not only do you have fine minis but you have loads of them !
