Some parallels I noticed when reading the Lizardmen fluff: Dead guy in golden throne who manifests in reality through his spirit: Lord Kroak / The Emperor of Mankind Warriors bred for war who can live forever unless they die in battle: Saurus Warriors / Space Marines Priests who use ceremony to utilize artifacts from a bygone age: Skink Priests / Tech-priests Artifacts detailing ancient information: Golden plaques from the Old Ones / Standard Template Construct Crumbling/fallen empire who seeks domination of the known world/universe to enforce the Great Plan/Emperor's Will upon the upstart races: Lizardmen / Imperium of Mankind <--- a bit of a stretch but what the hey. Discuss.
Lol never thought of it that way, At least Lizardmen know our dead guy is actually dead and not with our claws in our ears screamng "HERESY!....LALALA can't hear you!"
I'm more disturbed about the master plan and the breeding of super warriors to enforce the master plan on the lesser races. -Matt
