Looking to start up lizardmen as my second army. Since I started with dwarves, I want to avoid a magic heavy blaster list. I guess this is a sort of mixed strike force... anyway feel free to tear it apart. Based on the new book. Oldblood - Carno LA SH Blade of Realities 6+ ward I realize he's a little vulnerable, but I guess it helps that he's not a large target. I really want to try this combo out. SkinkPriest - EotG Diadem Scroll I think EotG will be a must-have, this is my all-in-one magic defense. My one consolation for putting it all here is that he survives if the Steg dies. ScarVet - BSB LA SH ColdOne Burning Blade A nasty fighter, that blade is a steal for its cost. He'll stay with the spears unless he needs to dart out and do something more important. Core: 16xWarriors FC spears ranks of 6 across for extra spearage. ScarVet goes here if needed, pops out if/when need be. 14xSkink Skirmishers 14xSkink Skirmishers main battle line screen Special: 4xTerradons 4xTerradons Lots of air support. The auto-hits of the drop-rocks should help chew up skirmishy stuff and nail some war-machine crews. Can lose 1 model and still give rear-charge support in hand-to-hand. 6xChameleon A few of these guys because scouting could come in handy, they can hide in jungle and be a pain in the butt. 6xCold One riders FC plus warbanner A heavy-hitting hammer unit. Rare: 3xRazordons Mostly for their defensive qualities, nobody will charge these lightly. They can also thin out the enemy as we approach. So I guess the list is probably a little small, though I'm hoping to play it as an elite strike list.
You cant have your scar-vet take magical weapons if he's going to be a BSB. You've already pointed out the weakness of your oldblood, so I'll let you go with that as you wish. Except from that it could be a fun list to play
Actually, he Can take a magical weapon, provided that the Battle Standard isn't magical. I saw nothing saying that it was, so there's no issue with that build as far as I can see. I like the style of the army, and once I get settled after my move I'll look into making an army of similar effect. Let me know how the list does if you get the chance to try it out.
My bad! Sure you can take a BS with magical weapons. Was a bit quick an just asumed you was taking a magical baner as well
