Still the same, I hope to solve this problem next weekend.

17.95 €, now guess why I did not use the original ones.

I guess southlands is fun as long as you stay with skinks only and
avoid close combat. This is nice with the combat patrol games, but
starts to be annoying with more than 1000p. imo.

No equipment so far.

This is what I wanted to play the first month.

>Saved: Unknown
It's been 20€ from month one and the 50€ (?) the second month. Now I
bought two 'salamanders' at 17.95 each and a blister with jungle
swarms (contains enough snakes for three bases imo) 10.95€.

46.85€ in month two, so I saved 23.15 for month three.

>with your month 3 selections still to be finalised.
I'll buy some saurus warriors (2*29,95) and a saurus hero (10.95) most
probably.

So two in the javelin unit?

Hehe. I could use a third old Sallie, but at the moment I've got a 2,000pt
army using all but a couple of my models (the spares being a Skink Shaman
and a Temple Guard drummer), so I don't need it for now.

Problem is Kroxigor and Horned One Riders are so expensive. Hopefully the
new HO Riders will be almost affordable.

But only enough bases for two...

Ah, Jungle Swarms - hadn't noticed those.

Okay, I'll update the list with that.
