If you make a lizardmen list what work best agianst every army with only 1000 points? This list dont have to beat every army
At 1000pts? Well I guess I'd use something like this Lord Saurus Old Blood ============== Cold One Enchanted Shield Spear Light Armor Note: Heavy hitter, heavily armored, and will make a great general Hero Scar Vet BSB ============= BSB Light Armor Dragon Helm Iron Curse Skink Priest ============ Level 1 - Lore of Beasts Dispel Scroll Core 20 Saurus Warriors Special 5 Saurus Cavalry with full command Note: In larger games I'd say leave them, but in a 1000pt game like this they'll become much more useful. Plus they'll make an excellent home for your Old Blood Bastilidon with Solar Engine Note: Here is where I think a Bastilidon would come in handy. Without the demands of a Slann or a Skink Priest draining your power dice, suddenly the Bastilidon becomes way more useful. Now that bound spell is worth something and he's worth the points to bring into a small game like this.
I'd say ColdenOldie Old Blood, cold one Fencers blade, glittering scales, Dragonbane gem, Other tricksters shard. 125ss and that'll do as Almost nothing can kill him Tetto'ekko 35 Skinks 3 krox. Muso and standard Sallies with extra snack And a blasterdon. Has an unbeatable cowboy with a loremaster, free vanguard on move 6 skrox(possibly your whole army), elf speed skinks and sallies always do work.
In a 1000 pt game, I'd leave it. However if this is a starting point for a bigger army, I'd keep it. Units like Bastilidons and Saurus Cavalry become less and less useful as the army grows in points. Something like a Stegadon with Sharpened Horns is invaluable at 2500pts, but in 1000pts its more of a liability.
you choose between a magic banner or magic items up to 50 points so you can make him a BSB and take magic item
