Alright from looking at the codex, it seems that ill win games from either crushing people in close combat with sheer force, or shutting down and controlling the magic phase, personally id rather go magic for this army, seeing as we have one of the best mages in the game(i assume.) Anyhow heres my army list, must critiscism will be needed so i know how to get what units are good down. I will be playing another lizardmen player and he will be using combat oriented army. Slan mage priest- Focus of mystery. Dispel scroll,Cupped hands of the old ones.-put him with temple guard Heroes-Skink priest-level 2,Eotg, Dispel scroll,Talisman of protection- secondary magic Scar Vet-light armor, shield, Pirahna blade, stick with a saurus warrior squad to help them out. Oxyotl-goes with a squad of chameleon skinks. Core 15 Saurus warriors-Standard bearer(scar vet joins this one so i have 4 ranks) 16 Saurus warriors- Standard bearer, Alright should i use spears here or no. im undesided. 12- skink skirmishers-what javelins do? 12-skink skirmishers- Special- 7 Cameleon skinks-Oxyotl goes here 7 Cameleon skinks 10 Temple guard-Standard bearer, Jaguar standard 6 Cold one cavalry-Standard bearer,Champion. Basically i throw magic and blowpipes at units all game, while my stegadon and cldone cavalry flank while my saurus warriors getinto combat. Temple guard will advance behind saurus warriors, in safety. Ill need opinions and advice badly, im unsure how good this list is other than it looks like it should work, at least to me.
To start.. You need (19)20 Warriors to get 4 ranks.. since you need 5 to form a rank. So you could drop the 16th warrior if you need some points. Also.. a BSB on the Slann mage doesnt seem a bad choice.. since he/she is able to be the general even with the stick at him. Taking spears means you double your attacks since they also got 2 attacks in the second row. Its up to you to equip spears or HW/Shield in close combat.. Javelins got an 8" range and come with a shield. When using blowpipes you will be hitting atleast on a 5+..its all what you prefer. Not quiet sure if you should take the Chameleons.. i mean i like how they look but 14 of them with Oxyotl.. is alot of points.. You could get Terradons or perhaps another Stegadon instead.. If you want to go more with magic then taking another skink priest might not be a bad idea. Altough im just a "rookie" since i've been starting playing since 2 weeks again. So i dont really know what you should be taking against certain armies. WheelR
well these are just the models i have, 48 skinks two saurus boxes, a stegadon with Eotg 10 temple guard the calvary, i did think of the terradons but i dont have any so i didnt use them.
