8th Ed. What do you want for new Lizzies

Hey all. I was just wondering, when the new edition comes out, what would you like to see along side it? Lords/heroes, cavalry, rares etc. I'll try and put on a poll. (-:
Ps: Describe. I'm sure the "influential" people on here might get it done

 

Skink Lord options
Monstrous Cavalry - Krox mounted on adolecent Carnosaur, similar to the new empire hypogryph cav.

Also I would like to see a return of Skink/Cav - Fast/Light cav.

But I guess if we got all of this, we would have to get nerfs in other areas.

 

Ugh poll is still broken...

I would like new cav, except i aready have a ton of the old ones,
we will probaly get some new rare, and posible monsterous cav...

So... I want a new type of unit, Because we could use some more variety,
especialy in the core section, even if its just saurus or skinks with some different weapons.

 

I reckon a Lizzie tank, with mega blowpipe cannons and stone wheels. That would be epic. Screw the empire steam tank.

 

4 kroxpower engine XD beats the hell out of steam engine

 

basic artillery, stuff like stone throwers/ rock lobbers that are simple to use

junior slann, ones that are 2nd level and can take our mastery into all levels of play,

disciplines recosted (to the equlivent of chaos gifts ) having prices according to the ability

keep cupped hands, cube of darkness, divine plaque of protection

gain a plus d3 power dice item like the high elves, we are supposed to be the best at magic after all

actual options as to which weapons the temple guard use, hw+s, halberd, GW for example they come with halberds but this can be exchanged for hw+s for no cost and great weapons for +2 per model (say)

longer range on skink shooting

keeping poison

a more dragon like beast, lots of attacks at high strength, armour and toughness

 

I'd also love to see some monsterous cav (I think Saurus riding juvenile carnosaurs would be cool)

 

I would LOVE to see the following:
In short - monster heavy.

- Carnosaur mounted Saurus
- a new plastic carnosaur (singular)
- a character will be able to ride the same monstrous beast as the unit in its army
- Slann becomes a multi-part plastic set - availability for a Relic Priest
- special limited edition plastic combination pack (similar to the Exalted Daemon Chariot) that combines a Stegadon and a Slann Priest to recreate Mazdamundi

- slann cep diciplines. each one can only be had once in an army
- slann get auto lore master
- units can purchase Sacred Spawnings like a Mark of Chaos, while characters get access to them off the bat
- Couatl model - working like a Terrorgheist in that it can be both a mount (rumours are to be available at sub-200 points to allow 2 to be taken for heroes in 2400 games) and a monster, presuming rare.

- Skink Priests gain access to Beasts as well as Heavens
- Skink Priests may become "attendants" to a Slann - a Skink Priest option allowing it access to the same Lore the Slann itself knows
- The return of the Arcanadon

as read in the rumours on warseer.

 

I would love to see some monstrous cavalry, preferably an elite unit of Scar-Vets mounted large Dinos. I think it is unlikely for GW to produce "adolescent" versions of anything and it is far more likely that we would just recieve a new kind of dino unit all together.

But what I personally want even more than anything else is the option for Great Weapons and Light Armor for our baseline Saurus, so that we actually have a hammer unit and we don't have to use Skrox which give up mad CR to the enemy.

As for Temple Guard, I would like a rule which allows them to use their Shield in conjunction with their Halberds, or at least the option to alternate between halberd and HW and Shield.

Since the trend is that each army gets a giant kit, I think it is highly likely that we might see a Thunder Lizard or a Coutl in the rare section.

I would like to see Saurus Oldbloods moved to the Hero section, and I would like to see a new Saurus lord choice to take their place int he Lord slot - Saurus Ancients, which could have access to Coutl's as a mount. This would also allow us to actually use a Carnosaur, and in conjunction with a Life Slann means that it might actually survive.

 

I, too, want another cavalry unit. So far we only have CoC and terradons.

 

Unfortunately since they're so big that they can trample cities I doubt we'll get thunder lizards it would be cool though) also I love how the Warcraft thunder lizards look

 

we will probably get new dinos which are not mentioned int he fluff. Had you ever heard of Demigryphs, Vargheists, or Mournfangs before in the fluff? I had not. But the only fluff I have read is the first three Gotrek and Felix, Lizardmen Codex and BRB fluff, plus the odd bit on wikis here and there, and I had never heard of them. The only likely creature which is mentioned in the fluff which we might see is the Coutl, and it would probably fill a role similair to the VC Terrorgheist or whatever, where it is a Rare and a character mount option.

EDIT: Another thing I would like is for our Slann to have access to High Magic. It only makes sense.

 

I would love to see a larger dino take it's place on a large monster base, possibly a brachiosaurus? Especially if it also had a howdah

 

I'm just afraid that with the release of new dinos the Stegadon will get even worse to encourage people to buy hte new kits...

 

I take mine back. I wanna see lore of the old ones (outr own lore) also in this lore I'd love to be able to spawn jungle swarm bases

 

I would have liked that last edition so we could spam it like VC spammed their summon zombie spells.

 

More than anything I want to see some kind of big dinosaur. An Ancient Carnosaur, or even just a resculpted Carnosaur. I love the current carnie to bits, it's a fantastic model, but it's just so puny. I want a big scary monster for my Oldblood to ride, something that makes him a viable alternative to a Slann, and puts the fear of god into my opponents, instead of just appearing as a big expensive bullseye.

 

I would want a new cavalry!

If not they could just reduce the point cost for CoC :\
