A New 8th Edition Player Here

Hi guys i`ve just started planing my 8th edition warhammer lizardmen and i`ve decided I like the lore about the Zlatlan southlands temple city and am making a force based on that idea (as in lots of skinks no saurus), its an 1000 point force(i`m will be playing with a friend) and here is what i came up with also we decided we are not going to do the "at least 25% core up to 50%...." and so on we would just take what we wanted up to 1000 points:

Heroes
Tiktaq`to

skink priest lvl 1 lore of beasts

skink priest lvl 1 lore of heavens

Core

skink cohort 21x skinks + brave + standard

Special
teradon riders 5x

bastilladon

Rare
salamander 1x

i think thats it

thanks TheMagePriestOfZlatlan

looks like a fun list,
I suppose one of the priest is going to be your general ?

Oh and, welcome to Lustria by the way.

 

thanks, I thought maybe Tiktaq`to as my general or a skink priest, would tiktaq`to be too vulnerable while he is strafing the enemy units?

 

Welcome aboard! There are lots of resources here for 8th, might need to dig a bit, but there is quite a good tactica.

 

Ok so i read in the rule book that the lord or hero with the highest leadership is your general so that would make Tiktaq`to my general because he has 7 leadership and the skink priest has 6 is that right?

 

Also is there any good lore about southlands lizardmen?

 

there's quite a bit in the old 5th edition Lizardmen book.

 

Thanks i`ll have a look at the the 5th edition pdf because i`ve only got the 8th edition book.

 

Agreed. Lots of good stuff on the Southlands.

I also really love the Southlands map, I think from one of the rulebooks.



Looking forward to seeing a Southlands themed army!

 

I love that map but also I hope theres no particular way to paint southlands skinks as I have already painted one priest blue. would any of you want to see some pics?

 

And what are the things like the golden tower of the gods, the temple of skulls and the temple avenue of gold?

 

I am betting they are random place-holders for the artist who didn't want to take the time and create lizard-maya-Aztec-inca sounding names for the locations.

No clue what the fluff behind them actually is, so it leaves plenty of room for fan fluff filler!

I am betting that at least two of them have gold, and one of them skulls...

 

Yes good idea
