Hello fellow worshipers of the Old Gods. I played Warhammer Fantasy during the 6-7th edition using VC and TKs and quited to play World of Warcraft. However WoW has become boring to me now so i thought to my self might aswell play WF again during the summer. I have my eye on a lizardmen army coz the look fun to paint compare to undead and I am really into magic and I <3 the Slann model. I haven't read the new 8th edition rules but i have the latest Lizardmen Army Book, so this list i am posting might have some violations that i am not aware of atm (do we still use the 25% character choices or fixed nuber depending on points e.g. 2000pts = 4 characters fixed). Can anyone help me with the Character Max Points Rule. Here I go. Characters: 713 points Slann + 3 Disciplines (Mastery , Rumination, HS of Consciousness) + Cupped Hands + Bane Head Skink Priest + Level 2 + Dispell Scroll + Cloak of Feathers Scar Vet + Piranha Blade + L. Armor & Shield Core: 828 Saurus Wars * 25 + Spear + Full Command Saurus Wars * 25 + Spear + Full Command Skink Skirmishers * 12 Skink Skirmishers * 12 Special: 327 Camo Skinks * 6 Terradon * 3 Kroxigor * 3 Rare: 160 Salamander * 2 + extra skink Now the total points is 2028 points still tweaking around for the final list but so far this is the army that i have in mind. Any advice would be appreciated.
Second More Mobile and Magic Oriented Army List 2000 points Characters: 565 Slann * 1 + 3 Discipline + Battle Standard Bearer + Bane Head + Cupped Hands of the Old Ones Skink Priest * 1 + Cube of Darkness Core: 1004 Saurus Warriors * 30 + Spear + Full Command Skinks * 24 + Krox * 3 + Full Command Skinks * 24 + Krox * 3 + Full Command Special: 282 Camo Skinks * 8 Camo Skinks * 8 Terradon * 3 Rare: 160 Salamander Hunting Pack * 2 + Extra Snack Total Points 2011 Btw. Will 11 points over be allowed for a 2000 points army. 2011 points feels like a sign from the Old Gods for my new army this year
I like the second list. I would drop the Terradons and some saurus in favor for 20 temple guard. As far as the 11 points over goes, in a friendly game, you should be ok. I would not do that myself, but if your game club is ok with it, it's all good (also, 2 skink cohorts will bring that down to 1 point over).
How about the Max Character points do you know whats the rule. I know before the rule was 25% then it became a fixed number based on points. What is the Rule now in 8th edition?
now you can spend 25% on lords, 25% on heroes, 25% on rare, minimum 25% on core and up to 50% on special.
