2250 vs Lizardmen

[Yanda]

Here is my list against a what im assuming will be another Slann/EotG list. This player has a tendancy to be very defensive, he likes to sit back and sling spells and run around the board harassing you with skinks. Im hoping the group of dire wolves can kill or overrun, but im starting to think a stand and shoot would kill them. Anyone try this? I also took Spirit Hosts because there good at tying up units like salamanders. What lore should I take?

Fun list. Your gonna have trouble with armies that stack dispell dice (9+)
Trade in spirit hosts for black knights to add another hammer to your super sized anvil.

Hello,

Im hoping the group of dire wolves can kill or overrun, but im starting to think a stand and shoot would kill them. Anyone try this? should I take?

You should be able to mitigate pretty much all of the damage they can cause with a Stand and Shoot reaction due to the multiple negative modifiers they'll face. At long range they'll be brought down to requiring an 8+ to hit your Wolves (that means rolling a 6 and then a 5+!) and, at that point, the poison special rule does not work any more. The greater issue comes from the fact that your 18'' charge range is equal to the Skinks' threat range when moving and shooting normally. You'll need to VHD your Wolves into action to ensure that you're not hit too much on the way in. Fell Bats would be a better tool for this job, I feel~
