So I'm starting up a Fantasy Escalation League this Saturday. We're starting with 500 points, and as this is my first time running Lizardmen I thought I'd see what you guys thought about my 500 pt list: Heroes: Scar-Vet (Gold Sigil Sword, Enchanted Shield) Core: 19 Saurus Warriors (Musician, Standard Bearer) 12 Skink Skirmishers (Blowguns) 12 Skink Skirmishers (Blowguns) I guess the point is pretty basic: beat stuff down with my Warrior block and shoot lighter units with my Skirmishers. I know there's not much room to move in 500 points, but we'll end up at 1,000 in a few weeks (and hold a tournament) so I wanted to thematically build up a list. I guess in my head, this warband was sent out to investigate rumors of some ancient ruins recently discovered, and as they fight against other scouting forces, they will add reinforcements up to the 1k level. Thoughts?
Exactly. I didn't want his talents to go to waste at such a low initiative, so now he will most likely be striking first!
I'm doing a esclation leage as well starting at 500pt. I'm running 20 Saurus warriors w/ banner/musician and leader Scar vet with just sheild and light armor 5 cold one riders w/ musician The Cold ones have 2+ armour saves and are immune to physcology, and with cold blooded the supidity rule doesn't get in the way to much. so they just role over anything that they flank.
When our escalation league started I played sth like this: Scarvet, 2+ save 16 sth Saurus 10 skirmishers 3 Terradons 1 Salamander That list was so super flexible and versatile, I could outmaneuver every opponant and nearly never lost a game. Your list is solid but a bit dull.. ^^
You need at least 3 units to have an army. You currently have 2 and a hero. It isn't legal (sadly). maybe you can fetch a cheap unit of skinks among your saurus?
Sorry, the escalation league I'm in doesn't require the 3 unite requirement. but your right, a small unit of skink skirmishers would complement them nicely for only a few less saurus warriors.
