The Lizardmen

[eric the ghost]

I haven't played against skaven in years. My lizzy army is built all but a single Kroxigor. now begin the arduous task of painting all those skinks my hand might fall off.

I'll post a list when i have some time.

You know what? I think that Tau and lizardmen are kind of the same cause they both protect the Leaders. but thats about it. AND I HATES THE SKAVEN THEY ARE HATED, BY ME.

I EATS RATS>: P

I always thought Tau were sort of the Wood Elves of 40K. You know, the whole "ZOMG STAY OUT OF COMBAT!!!" thing. Unless they're using particular unists (Tree Spirits for Wood Elves, Kroot for Tau)

Wood Elves are better in Combat than Tau, though they usually rely more on shooting than almost any other in Fantasy (As, while most other shooty armies have some advantage (Humans are cheap, and fire S4 always, Dwarves are T4 and WS4, Skaven can shoot into other engaged shooters, etc), the only Wood Elf advantage for shooters in combat is WS4).

Not to say their combat specialists are bad. They're not. They're just much better at shooting.

Why have 40 skinks in one unit...? It defeats the main advantage that skinks have, being their maneuverability. Split that bad boy up into four units of 10, same thing goes for the unit of 20, two of 10 instead.

I'd probably drop the Slaan entirely and instead take two Shamans as your lord choice, throw in two more hero shamans and a skink chief to be the general.  

[eric the ghost]

the unit sizes were to do with an old strategy i used to use. But i take your point I'll break them up a lil. As for the slan I'd prefer to keep him. Him and his two shaman helpers will be useful against my main enemy the undead.


thanks for thoughts.  

[eric the ghost]

as no one has posted here in ages...my army hasn't came along at all. in fact it had regressed somewhat as i dropped a kroxi and its in pieces....hmm

my friend tell me his undead will be ready by the summer....i just hope its nice wetaher for the skeli shot.... smile

Now I don't really know how to talk about this. If you'd be so kind as to maybe make this a little bit more clear. Perhaps give the upgrades each unit has, sort the units by type (heros/lords, core, special, rare), the armies total points cost and such.

Now, one thing I notice is you have Kroq Gar. He's an awsome character though I've never gotten around to using him. However are you actually using him as the character of just a old blood on a carnasaur?
If it is Kroq Gar you are taking it that cavalry are core and the saurus count as specialwithout any blessing.
If it's just an Old blood then putting its upgrades would help alot.

Really there isn't much to say unless you include the upgrades on your mages and some of the units.

And I agree, Blowpipes kick sweet @ss.  

[Luminatus]

Here's my list. Mind I'm working with what I have. So far I've bought the batallion box and a couple skink heros. I have the Kroq Gar model I just don't have enough points to use an oldblood yet.

Here it goes.
Hero's
Skink chief (General)
-Light Armour
-Shield
-Belssing of Sotek
-Bane Head
-Burning Blade of Chotek
-Scouts

This is my hero killer, he stalks around with one of the skin units and wacks a couple heros heads in.

Skink Chief
-Light armour
-Staff of the Lost Sun

Long ranged support... Well long for a skink

Core
Skinks
-10 models strong
-Blowpipes
-Scouts
Two units of these.
They run up the board and harass the enemy, simple yet effective.

Special
Saurus Cavalry
-5 lizards strong
-Full command

Heavy cavalry, 'nough said.

Saurus Warriors
-20 Lizards
-Full Command
-Blessing of Quetzl
Two squads of these.
My main front. These can take a beating, and with the cold blooded rule, keep on fighting.

I've also got a skink priest model, however for simplicities sake I dropped it along with 4 skinks to make a 1196 point list. (Was 1200 but forgot to drop scouts cost.)
Tell me what you think and where I should go from here. I enjoy the solidness of the Warriors, and how much punishment they take befor breaking.
Once one squad of 20 managed to hold a stegadon, a squad of 3 saurus cavaly and 3 terradons for about 5 turns of combat. The steg hit the front, the terradons the turn after in the rear and then the cavalry into the side about two turns later. It took another turn of combat after that to finally wipe them off the board. It was awsome.

hey guys look biggrin i'm a slan mage-priest biggrin  

[Inenor]

What's better for a Lizardmen army? A full out Magic or a full out "punch you in the face" army?  

[eric the ghost]

lizies are capable of both.

slan are ,I think, the best mages in the game. when backed up with a shaman or two and with some temple guard fit nicely with a muscle army. there both equally good at magic and face punching so mix them. Saurus old bloods are better for fighting than a slan. The slan and his 2 side kicks , when equipped well, are a magical force to be reckoned with.  

[Inenor]

I was trying to go one way or the other. But i do need both ... magic for vampire, elfs, tomb kings,and goblins. And brute force for orcs, dwarfs, scaven, Ogre, and chaos. I should probably patrol the forum but till i find it, dose anyone have a good GT army list that i could use that would have a melee strong list and magic strong list?  

[eric the ghost]

on page 76 of the army book there some useful tips on selection, including advice on a muscle army.
