    Welcome to the forum!

    If you like magic and big monsters and combined armed (Skinks and Saurus have opposite strengths and weaknesses so are best used in tandem) approaches to game play than Lizardmen are a fun army to play.

    Shopping List:

    -It is almost impossible to have too many Skinks
    -You want a few Saurus blocks
    -You'll eventually want a Slann and/or Carnosaur.

    Other than that it's hard to pick wrong. You don't want TOO many Saurus Cavalry models and the Trogolodon is widely considered the booby prize of our army book.

    There aren't a whole lot of must haves, I would start with Cangeheim's review and then check out the ratings on the 8e LM handbook.

    The Tactica Index is a good place to poke around for insight on specific models, builds or strategies.

    My general philosophy is to make picking models that look cool my primary consideration and models that play well my secondary consideration.

    I hope you choose to collect Lizardmen, we look forward to seeing your contributions to the forum.

    Thanks for welcoming me and replying.
    I did choose to start lizard men with the battalion scar vet/old blood skink priest and carnosaur though will make the rare choice version.
    I was also given a few models so have 10 cold onecavlry and an extra 10 temple guard and 10 skinks blowpipes.
    I was wondering about whether to put spears or hand weapons. And javelins on the second uni of skink skirmish. Also i think i may take the old one from carnosaur and put him on a cold one and or make him bsb? I will take a look at the posts you suggested thanks for the help
