All Skink Stuntys

Post by Loki »

A few years ago there were a few tourneys that counted All Skink teams (generally including the Krox) as Stuntys for the purpose of Stunty cups.

I don't notice it so much now. Is this because it was a fad that passed or was a Skink&Krox building 'too strong' to be included in Stunty cups?

I still allow it,.and I think the Exiles do to. Had a couple of people try it, and neither won the Stunty Cup.

We had a rule that if no stunty was on the field a TD would be forfeited until a stunty came back into play.

No one has ever asked to bring such a roster to Geordie Bowl, but if they did, I'd allow it.

I think it was a 'fad' thing to be honest?

The upcoming Underworld Cup seems to be allowing it, if I remember the tourney rules correctly.


Still, I doubt you'll see it much because it's a terribly bland and boring Stunty roster when compared to Secret Weapons, a trio of Treemen, and a pitchfull of ogres. Lizardmen are probably my favorite team, but I'd certainly play any of the other three teams before a Skink roster. If tournament rules allowed a stunty skink team to take two Kroxs, or if the Krox gained TTM and the skinks RS, or something else, it might be a little more appealing.

As a second factor, most people who play/own lizardmen teams probably simply don't own enough skink models to make an all skink team. And it's kind of an expensive investment for the rare tourney when you'd end up playing the relatively bland all skink list.

Wouldn't underworld be more interesting with two headed gobbos running about?

Yep :D


Stunty Cup qualifying teams for the Exiles Tournaments are;
Goblins,
Halflings,
Ogres,
Underworld with no Skaven,
and Lizardmen with no Saurus.

On top of that I allow two Star Players on each team (each team not just Stunties) and make no restrictions at all. So a Stunty team can bring Zara if they wish :)

Though I cant recall if anyone has done a Stunty Lizard team or brought two non-Stunty Stars to any of the other Stunty teams. Doesn't mean no one has brought one of these teams, my memory is shockingly bad at times, I'd have to look up all the old results (which are on here somewhere).


All Skink (plus Krox) teams can be a bit dull, but with the right selection of skills you can mix it up a bit and have fun. Which is what it's all about :P

Skink teams would qualify as stunties at the Albion Coast Cup.... but I don't think we have ever remembered to actually tell anyone.

I would guess that they get forgotten alot and actually most stunty cups would accept any team that consists of stunties, big guys, and star players. You'd probably have to double check with the organiser though because there are definitely a few events that only allow vanilla stunties.

That is all good information and food for thought.

I'm considering having an all Stunty year next year :D

I need more Stunty players at Exiles Open. This year there were 2. And after 5 rounds they both had exactly the same record and points :) But more Stunties make for a better S Cup :)
