Hi all, I've just started a lizardmen army and I have: 24 skinks (10 with blowpipes and 1 with shield/jav. ) 1 skink priest 1 saurus lord What is wise to get next? I think i will wait for the new krox and terries. Mabye some Saurus warriors? I also don't know what to equip my other skinks with. please help
I would get a unit of Saurus Warriors and a couple Kroxigors. Or maybe some Terradons, unless you want to wait for the new models.
You should also think of what you would like to paint. (I don't know if your familliar with miniatures and painting, so I'll assume not, correct me if I'm wrong ) It can be a bit demanding to go on a full regiment of 20 saurus warriors. Me, I like to have a few different projects up and running all at once. A character, a regiment, and a small unit like krox, sallis, terradons... This way you can switch focus when you get tired of the drybrushing, and can work with some details on a stegadon or something Anyway, you should make an armylist of what you would like your army to become.. Then make plans from there... And Good luck
I agree about making a list. I would make a 1000 point list and buy what you need. However, I would wait for the revamp in February before buying too much. The battalion box is a safe buy because I don't think any of the units in there are changing. I just started with lizzies about 2 months ago and am currently waiting until the revamp myself to make some purchases like Stegadon, Kroxigors, and Terradons, and Salamanders.
I've been painting lotr for a couple of years now so I know about painting. I think the battalion is a good one indeed. with the battalion and some terries i was thinking about something like this: Scar-vet venom of firefly, GW, glyph necklace, LA, shield, Quetzl............153 Skink priest level 2, 2 dispel scrolls......................................................150 16 Saurus warriors musician, standard..................................................210 2x 10 skinks (not sure if i equip them with blowpipes or shield/jav.)..............120 12 skinks scout, blowpipes....................................................................84 5 Saurus cavalry.................................................................................175 3 Terradons........................................................................................105 total: 997 don't know if i have all the pointsvalues correct because i don't have the armybook yet... (waiting till feb.)
Your saurus cost 210 pts, Saurus Cavalry cost 175 pts and I think Your scar-vet is costing 153 pts... Anyway, good list you got there
I always go with blowpipes, but thats just me. Thanx to 12" x2 attack, I find it way more deadly. I think that vs. greenskins, javelin might work good as well...
