enjoy

Chupayotl(city of gold) sank into the sea after the great war against Chaos.
But the servents of the old ones did not willingly abandon Their great city.
Chupayotl still has a large population of skinks and saurus. Tzunki was pre-eminent of the old ones in chupayotl evan before the city fell, so althoug many drowned those saurus spawned under Tzunkis influence survived and still live in
chupayotl today. The city is now submerged in a large lagoon, with the tallest temples still poking their heads above the brilliant azure water. Although the host of chupayotl is only a shadow of its former glory it is still more than capable of defending its city.

The Lore Of Water
To get spells roll a D6 for each spell a wizard knows. if you roll the same spell twice for the same wizard re-roll it

1)hail storm 5+
magic missile does D6 s4 hits

2)mistress of the marsh 6+ RIP
cast on any enamy unit within 6' of a water feture. that units movement is halfed untill the spell stops for any reason

3)the rain lord 10+
cast on a unit of misile troops and they will have -1 to all shooting atacks. black powder or steam powered e.t.c. weapons can only fire that turn on a 4+. cannot be
dispelled

4) Water Surge 10+
the wizard may move a piece of water scenery D6+2 towards the enamy. any units in its path take D6 S4 hits. if a unit of friendly aquatic troops are in the water they can move with it.
This spell causes no damage to flyers or aquatic units.

5)Tidal wave 9+
place the small template on the wizard. then move it forward 18inches. any enamys in its path take D6 S4 hits

6) Tzunki's blessing 8+
cast on a friendly unit within 6' or within 6' of a water feture. That unit is moved 12' in any direction ignoring terrain.If they come into contact with enamy troops they count as charging. enemy must take a fear test but otherwise can declare charge reaction normally.

I like the fluff, and the list looks very interesting.

Some of the units are great!

skink marines, baby merwrym riders :lol:

I think the 'cannot be dispelled' rule on the rain lord is a bit harsh though, as is the whole army having hatred for chaos.

I think the skink should only be able to use the spell Tidal wave when he is within a water feature, this symbolises him drawing water from around him and sending it forth.

I am angry with you angry priest. I am the evil trojan bunny. I will torment you night and day about how bad this site is. You are all a bunch of losers. Warhammer is crap. :eek: :thumb: :clap: :ph43r: :( :unsure: :wacko: :fight:

You had to edit your post to come up with that?

Unless you have something constructive to say instead of ranting (which you obviously joined this site solely to do) then GET OFF THE SITE!!!!!
Otherwise, I shall sic my horribly inept ninjas on you . . . :fight: :fight: :fight:

But as to the list:
It all looks very good, but three things bug me:
1. Why no underwater Slann? Isn't it possible that beings as powerful as the Slann could have survived Chupayotl's descent underwater?
2. The Temple Guard are a little over-powered with their tridents. Also, fluff-wise, it just doesn't work for them to be stubborn when protecting a mere Skink.
3. Salamanders and Terradons? In an army spawned UNDERWATER? What's your rationale for that? Salamanders obviously can't live underwater (and sure as hell can't spout flames there), and I doubt there would be any use for flying creatures underwater either. Do the SKink Priests go on land to train these beasts or something?
Other than that, though, it's pretty good. :thumb: Though I'd have liked to see more "horror of the deep"-type units, since all fluffy mentions of Chupayotl mention poor mariners being attacked by rather scary creatures.

Yeah, I guess the Slann could have created a little bubble around themselves.
However, they attentions may have been elsewhere ie trying to stop their city from sinking!

I would think salamanders could be very aquatic.
Not exceptionally strong swimmers, but the real-life animal from which they get thier name is an amphibian (in fact, I have a pet salamander ^_^ )

Terradons, well the dinosaur that they resemble was primarily a coastline bird so it could fit in with the list.

Atleast he does not have a steg in the list ;)

it looks kinda cool but the only problem with an underwater list is who are they gonna fight??? some underwater sharks going on a raid or something ^_^

still nice list with a lot of thought put into it, well done :thumb:

they draw cretures from the surrounding areas to fight for them
chupayotl means city of gold. there is enough wealth ther for people(and zombie pirates) to risk a dive for gold

I presume that battles are fought on the shore of the lagoon?

Battles underwater would not work in game terms, as movement becomes very hard to determine as you could swim vertically as well as horizontally.

I could imagine underwater skirmishes, but not whole armies (ranked up units underwater? no.)

gotta agree with angry priest on this one, what about if you made up a sort of warhammer skirmish scenario for it?

With rules like "Going up for air" and such.

It would be an interesting battle to play, thats for sure ^_^

they dont fight underwater
if an enamy trys to attack from land they kill them as they wade in and strike fromthe sea at the unprotected flanks.
if the enamy aproaches by ship theyburn the ships with sallies or punch holes in them with dragons then kill the survivers

EDIT: who is the trojan bunny? Does he have any purpose on this site other than to flame nd spamm or is he just a sad Ba***d who needs to get a life

you got it all wrong, what i meant was you will need to create rules for if your attacking a ship, like the previous battle in white dwarf where gobbos went for bugmans ship ^_^ .

the whole beach fight thing sounds kinda cool but some things wouldn't make sense such as a giant going into the sea or a warp lightning cannon entering a beach line, it is a good idea but some of the things for it are a bit odd. it would fit skirmish though as a little pirate group assaulting the chaputal under the sea

Just to give you some inspiration:

Swimming Cold Ones

they are pretty nice pictures angry priest, where did you get them from or are they from a personal game or something?

nice battle, i like the temple/ castle thingy the best, the warplighting from the cannon was acctually done nicely rather than what most do and put cotton on the end <_<

That is one absolutely awesome diorama.
It is partly because of awesome dioramas like these that I love Games Day.

ive seen this before
the best diorama i have ever seen
amazing.
