Hi sorry if this sort of post is old hat but I was hoping to get some advice on building a Lizardmen army before spending the cash on fleshing it out. I picked up 40k a year ago and built an Eldar army but I find myself lately wanting to try out Fantasy. At the same time I bought some lizardmen models but never did much with them. As it stands I have the following: -1 battalion box -1 slann -1 steg kit -1 scar-vet -2 skink priests -2 salamanders I'm thinking that if I pick up another battalion box I could put a solid 2k list together to jump into the game head first. Though I would like to build a Skrox unit, but I want to wait until finecast catches up to the krox models. Anyway the list I've been thinking about is the following: Lord: Slann - cupped hands, divine plaque, focus of mystery, the becalming cogitation, the focused rumination, lore of life, BsB, general. Hero: Scar-Vet - burning blade of chotec, enchanted shield, light armour Core: 20 Saurus warriors - musician, standard bearer 20 Saurus warriors - spears, spawning champion, musician, standard bearer (2) 10 skink skirmishers Special: 20 Temple Guard - musician, standard bearer, magic banner 1 Stegadon Rare: 2 Salamanders with 8 handlers Total Points: 1994 As it stands I have assembled 20 suarus wariors with spears. The general plan is just advance up the center. I plan to attach the scar-vet to the saurus block with swords and shields. I want to field them 7 models wide in three ranks. Behind them the temple guard and slann. To one side 20 saurus (5x4) with spears and to the other side the steg. On each flank a salamander. The skinks I envision will act as a speed bump/vanguard located in front of my sword and shield saurus. Is this build viable to learn the game with? Also, I was wondering if I should look at a different/cost effective way to bring my army up to 2k? Thanks in advance for any critiques you guys and gals might have.
heeey. Lord: Slann - focus of mystery, the becalming cogitation, the focused rumination, lore of life, BsB, standard of dicipline, general. (you dont need a 2+ vs shooting when you have a 4+ allready and a 2+ look out sir) Hero: Scar-Vet - piranha blade, dragon helm, shield, light armour (goes in with the tg to take challenges) Core: 30 Saurus warriors - spears, musician, standard bearer (you need at least 30 when taking spears otherwise you will be loosing some and you dont get a bonus from spears but instead a - because you dont get parry. a lot of people say spears aint worth it.... i agree but i think its not a big enough - to change your models took away your second unit it was`nt big enough and there aint to many points in in a 2000 points game Special: 25 Temple Guard - musician, standard bearer, magic banner (magic banner ???? how many points?) 1 Stegadon (is at one side of the tg while the saurus are at the other) 9 chameleon skinks (much more worth it than skinks) 9 chameleon skinks (paint the skrimishers green) Rare: Salamander 4 handlers 2 Salamander 8 handlers Total Points: 2000
