I have recently acquired a friend's Lizardman force who can no longer fulfill the will of the Old Ones. I am a recent Fantasy convert, as well, and my first army is Ogres (I know, I know...), but I hope to steadily paint and add to my Lizards. Cheers, Ryan
The Tactica Index should give you a lot of pointers to help you get started. The Painter's forum is full of all kinds of great stuff. The fluff forum is always worth checking out. Spawning of Bob has made a lot of funny LM based comics and he absolutely NEVER mocks Ogres.
