Ok and sorry to be asking very newbie questions but am i able to take magic items out of the big rulebook?
All magic items from the 8th edition rule book are available. Keep in mind that if an item with the same name and rules is in the army book, you must use the price listed in the army book (not sure if this is an issue for Lizardmen).
sigh... yea unfortunately it is, we over pay for the basic magic shield. ... and maybe one other thing...
