Hi, I've been experimenting with the Lizardmen for a while, trying to find a style that works for me. Mostly I've been running a core fairly heavy on Skink Skirmishers, but I'm finding that having no scouts or vanguards is a bit too slow for my tastes. LORD: Slann: Harmonic Convergence, Becalming Cogitation, BSB, Channeling Staff, Lore of Light HEROES: Skink Priest - Lvl 2, Dispel Scroll, Lore of Heavens Scar-Vet - Cold One, Armor of Destiny, Great Weapon Scar-Vet - Cold One, Light Armour, Charmed Shield, Dawnstone, Sword of Might CORE: 24 Saurus - Std, Mu, HW+S 24 Saurus - Std, Mu, HW+S 10 Skink Cohort - Std Special: 6 Kroxigor - Ancient 6 Chameleons 6 Chameleons 6 Chameleons 3 Terradons - Fireleech Bolas Rare: Ancient Stegadon Salamander Salamander Total points: 2500 So this is about as standard and balanced of a list I can think up. A potential tweek could be to go with a couple of units of Rippers and cut in to the Chamos and Terradons, which makes the army a bit more aggresive but less flexible. I do think Terradons are overpriced currently, but they still offer great utility in my experience. Tell me what you think.
Seems prety typical, except for the Special selection... that a bit unusual, but no reasion why it shouldn't work.
Thanks for the replies, the special section is basically the same as the one I used to run in the old army book, only its a bit more expensive now. Never really been that adament about the extra handler for salamanders, tend to be a point filler if I'm 5 points short etc.. I'm finding that getting enough banners for Blood and Glory is a bit tricky in saurus based armies, though the initial list addresses that I've come up with an alternative that I think has a bit more muscle while retaining 3 banners. LORD: Slann: Harmonic Convergence, Becalming Cogitation, BSB, Channeling Staff, Lore of Light HEROES: Skink Priest - Lvl 1, Dispel Scroll, Lore of Heavens Scar-Vet - Cold One, Armor of Destiny, Great Weapon Skink Chief - Ancient Stegadon, Light Armour, Enchanted Shield, Luckstone, Biting Blade, Egg of Quango CORE: 36 Saurus - Std, Mu, Spears 10 Skink Cohort - Std 10 Skink Skirmishers 10 Skink Skirmishers Special: 24 Temple Guard - Std, Mu, Flaming Banner 6 Chameleons 6 Chameleons Rare: Ancient Stegadon Salamander Salamander Total points: 2499 Cut a level on the Skink Priest to fit everything in, but I figure thats acceptable, though I might be wrong. The 2 Ancients would fill a support role in the chaff battle since I'm a bit weak in that department.
