    I am mostly new to fantasy, I have really only played one game a while back in 7th, and have only played 40k since then. My concerns were if I had enough shooting, if I needed bigger units, as I took out a Stegadon I originally had in this list, if Cold one Cavalry are worth the cost, and if Temple Guard are supposed to get into combat, because I clearly put a lot of points into them. Also, I'm not sure if I should keep the burning blade on my scar vet, or switch it to a great weapon because of his low initiative. Finally, which Lore I should take on my Slann is troubling me, as both life and light seem really good.

    Looks good. if you drop the bane head and enchanted shield from the scar vet and add a dawnstone and a regular shield he ends up with a 1+ rerollable armor save if I did my math right.

    Yeah I didn't try to do anything whack since it was my first list so maybe I'll get a bit more adventurous as I go along. Also I just realized I posted this in the wrong forum I swear it was an accident, if someone could move it for me that would be awesome. I will probably take your advice on the scar vet because I really am rethinking the bane head. Is there a problem with it being a standard list?

    Nope there is nothing wrong with starting with a standard list. It lets you get used to how the army plays and how the game mechanics work. After you have some games in you can do the crazy stuff like all saurus no skinks or slann list, double slann craziness, and all skink army etc etc.

    Okay that makes sense. Yeah If anything I would really wanna a Carnosaur or some of the special characters, although Gor'Rok and Chakax look like the only ones that are worth the points.

    The carnosaur model is the sole reason I started playing Lizards in the first place. It is a shame that all the special characters are overpriced and most are crap to boot.
