    [COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]I address several things, and this seems like the proper place for it, so:
    Hi, all! I'm A new LM player, and will be wanting/needing advice for both 8e and AoS, please.
    Bullet point bio:
    I've been involved in WFB since 3e
    Played the most in 4/5e
    Have not played since then, but was dragged kicking and screaming into 8e by an old friend.
    Decided to collect the other 3 forces of Order that l didn't have (Lizardmen, elves)
    I'd never gotten rid of my saurus (20, hand weapons) and skinks (34) from the LM/Bret starter set from 5e, so that was my starting force. The skinks have bows, but will work as blowpipes.

    I have since acquired:
    A Slann Mage
    Tehenhauin
    A skink chief
    10 Temple Guard
    20 saurus (planning on spears for them)
    12 skinks w/blowpipes (planning on using as chameleons)
    16 COR
    In the mail heading my way are Kroq-gar and a stegadon.

    Other than some special characters that l want (Kroak, etc.) is there anything more l really need?

    Question 2: any advice on tactics for either game?
    Thanks for everything, and my apologies for the length.

    Your current options for games are
    .AoS: Totally different game than Fantasy. No ranked up units
    .9th Age: A modified version of 8th ed.
    .Kings of War: Mantic's fantasy game. Ruleset seems like streamlined version of 7th ed. Games are faster paced but the movement tactics are more present than any of the other options

    I would go 9th Age or Kings of War as they keep that ranked up units. My area went with Kings of War so thats what i went with and i am very happy with it. I proabably would be happy with 9th Age as well but AoS is not my cup o tea

    Thanks! I figured more temple guard, though more skinks surprised me. That's why I am here.

    Well your current amount of models will be limited due to the core restrictions :)

    Thanks. My friend and l will do 8th still, some, anyway, and l hear that a group nearby is sticking with 8th, so l am ok there. I'll definitely look into 9th age and KoW though. I'm Open to AoS, but only as a non serious diversion.
