    I was just thinking, how do you prioritize which units you vanguard and why?

    It all depends on what my opponent has.
    Lizardmen is an army that needs the synergy between units.
    Choosing one unit for vanguard every game is generally a bad idea.

    I like to Vanguard:
    Character Bus
    Razordons
    Salamanders
    Steggadon(s)
    Skink Cohorts
    Kroxigor
    Saurus Star (yeah, I've got a movement tray that holds 60 of them).


    So far, the Saurus Bus had been the most successful vanguard. 10 wide and 6 deep (plus characters), vanguarding up the center makes it next to impossible for my opponent to redirect it in time. With MR3 on one of the characters, I'm not opposed to dropping comets point blank if my opponent throws multiple units into it.

    When I don't run a death star, I find vanguarding to be very dependent on terrain and opponents deployment.

    Scar vet cowboys are a good option.

    Hmm. I was tending to Vanguard my monsters and Kroxigor, but now I am losing sight of the point of this post after reading
    => Dead skyfaerie, man, that's a great idea. :)
