New to Lizardmen and fantasy as well. Was strictly a 40K player, been wanting to try out fantasy for the longest time wasn't sure of what army and I didn't want to go with what everyone else was playing. Lizardmen have intrigued me for a long time now and I'm glad they are my first army.
Welcome. The people on the painting log are very helpful. I mostly haunt the Tactics forum. I put together an index of what i think are useful Tactias and that's a place I think beginners may find helpful. It's linked in my signature.
