I’m a 40k player so I’m a real nOOb in fantasy, especially in the magic phase. I don't have a rulebook off hand either, which sucks. So could someone please give me a brief explanation of magic and how it all works? Also, do lizardmen only have that one "Drain Magic" spell? I’m glancing through the army book and that’s the only spell that I could find, other than Kroak's special spell. All help will be greatly appreciated
Magic's a large part of the game, so the best thing to do is grab yourself a rulebook. Also, in there you'll find the eight lores of magic which the Slann have access to. Also you can usually run through a game with a redshirt at a local GW, you'll be able to get an overview of the magic phase there.
The rule book has the Spells in it, Lizrdmen don't have their own Lore only a couple of Races do, the rest are in the rule book. There's a lot to explain so really you need to get the rulebook to play fantasy. Basically you get dice to try and cast spells the opponent has dice to dispel spells. I would suggest not using magic till you get a rulebook, and just play close combat and shooting troops.
