Lizardmen Battle Standard Bearer Wanted

Hi guys,

I got a little question. If someone has a nice Lizardmen Battle Standard Bearer, could he please post it on this topic. I want to make a really nice conversion of a battle standard bearer but I've got no ideas and i don't like the BSB of GWS.

Thnx

 

Hey man!

I made my BSB from Avatars of War's Lizardman:




A few different pic's of my conversion (and yes... I suck horribly at sculpting with gs):










I will paint him in a light green colour (closer to white, to show that he's really ancient), using my other LM as a base for the colours.

 

Alright. Thnx where's the shield frOm btw???

 

It's and alternate weapon from the same kit.

 

I am doing the same thing as Stormshaft, and was going to link you to that model ><

By the way, is that two standards stuck togeather, or is it a standard from a unit?

 

It looks to me like the temple guard banner at the back with a standard saurus banner at the front, with extra skulls added on the sides.

Yours Aye

Thanks, now I just need to find a reason to buy Temple Guard other then just for the banner.... ><

 

Ok, let me see if i can convince you:
1- WS4
2- Str 5 with halberd
3- 4+ armour save

with slaan in tow:
4- Unbreakable
5- Stubborn
6- Immune to Psychology

You can never have too many Temple Guard. Ok not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.

Yours Aye

Ok, now lets 'aruge'
WS 4 doesn't help against WS 5 (Which i'm accustomed to facing, mostly)
S5 with Halberd is unarguable... Though, no parry.... But still meh.... Love the S5 (well, not against Elves, it doesn't really matter then ><)
4+ AS is what Saurus have with their shield though.

Slann can take CoC to make himself stubborn, and almost unbreakable with re-rollable CB LD10.


BUT my biggest problem with them, is they're 4 more points then Spearus and I can do what a unit of them would basically do that my Saurus can't really do (protect the Slann) for cheapter (Etherial for 50 points? Hellls yes!).
That said, Ogers could be a reason to take them....

Got any other ideas? Just a tab more convincing is needed XD

 

er.....ok.........they look a million times better than normal saurus IMO.

Saurs are NOT immune to fear/terror, Temple Guard are.

They are for me, the only place to put a slaan, i never leave home without at least 20.

Yours Aye

The other advantage TG have over saurus is the sacred duty rule. basically if you put your slaan in a saurus unit, he has to go in the front rank as per the rulebook. meaning he can be direct targeted. if he's in a TG unit he goes in the second rank. this can only happen with TG, and not only does the enemy have to kill EVERY TG before he can attack the slaan, the slaan is free to cast magic as normal.

That, combined with the previous points is why you should take TG.

Yours Aye

Is that right? I was under the impression that the Slann had to move to the 1 rank is there were less than 5 Rank and File Models.

Meaning that if all that is left is the Champ, Standard, Musician and 1 lone TG the Slann has to move to the front.

This may not be place for this, will more to new thread as well.

 

As i interpreted the rule all TG had to be slain before the slaan is in the rank and hence at risk. Fits with the idea of the TG, whether all of them or just 1 left does everything in his power to keep his master out of harms way.

But would need to check that.

Yours Aye

Hmmm..... Are they fun to build?
I don't need them to be with LD9 Cold Blooded, though
Yeah, well, you'd be amased what being immune to Mundane weapons and a 2+ Wardsave can do for a giant toad haha.
I used to run 20, they were pretty cool.

My money is now in your hands
Your turn

 

Don't put your money in my hands mate, i'll end up buying tomb kings with it.

I love the models, they are great for making custom Scar Vets from, instead of paying for a metal one, most of the models for scar vets/oldbloods i don't like anyway.

Depends on your list really, you would need to sacrafice to pay the points for them, but i always do and they haven't let my slaan down yet.

Yours Aye

Does anyone have a good battlestandard bearer left for me as well? Not a fan of the new models myself either XD

 

You could use the older metal Temple guard standard bearer.

 

He looks pretty cool! Any idea where I could purchase one? I can't find it on ebay.

 

They show up on eBay once and a while.
just keep an eye on it.
It's where I got mine.
