This approach does show how the units match up against average enemy units in general, but it doesn't account for synergies between our units....
Final score for the all-troglodon list was...89 (out of 1000)
I can run it for you tonight :)
Yes, it simulates both ranged attacks and magic. Although magic is somewhat weird because spells that do things like let you move twice or block...
So, I did a thing. I expanded my combat simulator into an auto-battler, and entered in a bunch of different lists and had them fight against each...
The evolution of this thread is hilarious. First, very little data shows Lizardmen as one of the best in the game, and everyone freaks out saying...
Well, they just updated our army codex with the last FAQ drop. So they're supporting us as much as all the other legacy factions, so far at least.
The Lumbering rule specifically removes the 2 model requirement to be in Close Order (the rules do not say 2 models to get the +1, it says 2...

The clarification of Drilled is arguably a buff to Cold One Riders (depending on how your community played it before). Also Monsoon going to 15"...
Bastiladon can no longer claim +1 CR from close order
You're right, that is a very big change. I am not at all sure what all the ramifications are. He has unit strength 5 now? Can disrupt ranks?...
Wow, it did change to a monstrous creature. I totally didn't notice that. I'm not even sure yet what all the ramifications are, but you're right...
Ok then, Lizardmen heroes aren't "wearing" any armor, so they count as models that "Wear No Armor" for that rule, and have a 7+ armor save. Or...
You can't be equipped with armor while not wearing armor. That's at least as silly as the FAQ itself.
I agree, pre-FAQ that was RAW. But now the FAQ says those models don't count as being equipped with armor. It doesn't say, "...when it comes to...
