Hi, I'm new to Lizardmen and kinda new to wargaming, I want to finally get an army going. I was thinking about building 1000pts list to learn the game and then move to ~2-2.5k. Currently I have: Starblood Stalkers from WHU (I could use some of them as heroes, so i guess): Skink Priest Oldblood/Scarvet on foot Skink Brave or 2 1.5 6th ed battalion (mostly on sprues): ~30 Saurus Warriors 12 Skinks + 8 with javelins ~14 Cold one Cavalry 20 Temple Guards Stegadon Bastalidon Box of Terradon riders Could anyone help with getting a basic list out of it? I plan to get a Slann if they reprint the old one, new is too big and flashy for my tastes.
This is a very helpful m website for making 8th ed lizardmen lists http://www.rengels.de/warhammer/lists/lizardmen/lizardmen.php I'll throw something together from the models you currently have. Looks like you have a great starting army
Came up with 1000pts on the nose. Not sure how optimized it really is (I'm used to higher points and a slann lol) LORDS Oldblood 206pts Great weapon, armour of destiny, luck stone, ironcure icon HEROES Skink Priest, Lore of Heavens 125pts Level 2 upgrade, dispel scroll Core Saurus warriors x19 209pts (Oldbood goes in this block) Skink Skirmishers x10 70pts Javalin and shield Skink Skirmishers x10 70pts Javalin and shield Special Terradon Riders x3 105pts Stegadon 215pts Hope this helps and maybe others can chime in here. I would have preferred to spring for an ancient stegadon. Cheers
Speaking of 8th edition only, salamanders are well worth it, while razordons are not as useful. I would say the next high priority things to get for your army are 2 salamanders and then maybe a slann. Salamanders almost always hit if you don't misfire and position them properly. There is an amazing thread in the tactics section that I cannot recommend enough. It breaks down every unit, spell, magic item.
