    I am just starting to play warhammer fantasy but I really like Lizardmen and I am starting to build and army, the local game store has a lot of people just starting so it seemed like a good time to start. They are running events at 1.5k for starters to help newer players learn the game.

    The list I am working on so far is:

    Slann
    focus of mystery
    Becalming cognition
    Lore: Life
    BSB
    350 points
    -----------------------
    20x Temple Guard
    320 points
    -----------------------
    20x Saurus Warriors(Spear, BSB)
    252 points
    -----------------------
    20x Saurus Warriors(Spear, BSB)
    252 points
    -----------------------
    10x Skink Skirmishers(Blowpipe)
    70 points
    -----------------------
    10x Skink Skirmishers(Bloowpipe)
    70 points
    -----------------------
    5x Cold One Cavalry
    175 points
    -----------------------
    Total Points: 1489of 1500

    Comments and Criticism welcome, I really do want to run the temple guard and Slann in the list.

    I would alter the Saurus into one unit especially with spears - This will give you a total of 20 attacks from the front, 10 in 2nd, 10 in 3rd and 10 in 4th (total 50 attacks!) depending on how many in base contact. Worth noting that saurus standard bearers are not battle standard bearers.

    Slann as BSB is only really worth it if you take a standard as well.

    If you can alter the points then give your skirmishers javelin and shield instead of blowpipe. Shield plus hand weapon gives 6+ ward save, shield gives 6+ armour save

    Might pay to lose one of the skink packs and replace with 5 x cham skinks.....

    Good news for new LM players is a new book rumoured on the horizon!!!

    solid list, but i think that if you drop the cold one cavalry and take a couple of salamanders it's better. Also if you don't run a skrox my advice is to give the razor standard to the temple guard for fighting high armoured targets

    are you allowed a slaan at 1,500 points? thought it was no lord choices in an army under 2,000 points? could be wrong

    if you go with life 375 points is enough to make a pretty powerful slann: i usually give him the plaque of tepok, becalming and the bonus dice, and i make him bsb or give him a dispell scroll

    Can't take dispel scroll and plaque of topek though. That would be two arcane items.......

    my mistake. In my gaming group we have a home rule: a wizard can take a number of arcane items up to his magic level. I got confused :D
