Conversion Ideas ( I drawed something... )

I'm sure GW considers the Terradons or Ripperdactyls as our swift response units.

They are both descent choices, but what we really lack are core options!

Skinny, skink only, smarter cold ones, that you could only use with the south lands list in 6th edition.

Horned Ones were also available from Dogs of War / Regiments of Renown, the unit was called "Tichi-Huichi's Raiders". They were a special choice for Lizardmen. Their rules were different from the Horned Ones in the Southlands list though, for instance they suffer from stupidity.

True enough, oddly they flip flopped between being horned or condones in the 2 editions of their rules.

Yeah, it was quite the mess. The rules for the Tichi-Huichi's Raiders is somewhere between cold one cavalry and the horned ones from the south lands list.

I've never heard of Horned Ones. What were they?

Type of cold one but smarter, not sure when they got phased out tbh.

In the Beginning (or as near to it as I remember) there were Mercenary units. They were Called Dogs-Of-War. One such was:

^...these guys.^ At some point their mounts got reclassified as "Horned Ones". At a later point all the Dogs-Of-War were gathered into a single codex. At a point after that using Dogs-Of-War was severely curtailed. Possibly at the same time there was a Southlands variant Lizardman list which had models you were supposed to stop using in favor of buying new models. Models such as the formerly ubiquitous Skinks-with-Bows and a unit of Skinks riding "Horned Ones" for which the Raiders were the ideal proxies.

( I may still be bitter about the former. )

I believe they where in the Regiments of the Renown book.
and other set of rules was in a white dwarf or something.

You're correct! I have the rules for them.

 

[Chicken Lips]

That's funny. I have never heard of them before.

No idea how accurate this is or which rules version it is from:

Horned Ones: Horned Ones cause fear, are subject to stupidity, and give their rider +2 to their Armor saves in place of the usual +1 for mounted troops. Note that the Horned Ones also have 2 attacks instead of the normal 1 for Cold Ones.
