I'm gonna need to make a 500/1000/2000/etc... list for my lizardmen. Currently I have only 10 old plastic saurus models and32 skinks w/ shortbow which I'm probably going to trade for blowpipes/javelins. Christmas delivered a stegadon and a slann. Nice models, too bad they're not good till 2000 points. And a blister with two skink chiefs. But anyway, I was thinking about something like this:

Hero
Skink Priest
Dispel Scroll
90 pts

Saurus Block
15, mus, stb
198 pts

Skink Skirmishers
10, blowpipes
60 pts

Skink Skirmishers
10, blowpipes
60 pts

Skink Skirmishers
15,jav/shield
60 pts

Total 498 pts

Any ideas and pointers anyone?
Also: what models should I really got a hold of?

Hero
Skink Priest
Dispel Scroll
90 pts

Saurus Block
10, mus, stb, spears
158 pts

Skink Skirmishers
10, blowpipes
60 pts

Skink Skirmishers
10, blowpipes
60 pts

Skink Skirmishers
15,jav/shield
60 pts

Total 458 pts, which frees 42 pts.

I could drop the dispel scroll for an extra skink priest, which would give me an extra dispel die and more magic.
Or I could drop the first priest and go for a scar veteran for opening some cans of whoop ass.
Or remove one skink bunch and add a scar veteran and add the remainder into the other two skink piles.
Any suggestions so far?

that is a good list but i think you should consider an all skink
army with alot of dinosaurs of course

on 500 pts it's a bit hard to go dinosaurs. Only things that fit are salamanders and terradon riders. I could ofcourse drop that Saurus block, add the second Skink Priest. Add some more skinks and get a Nike Scar Veteran.

I would make the Javelins Scout just because that would be fun and probably pretty good in 500.

The Core stuff takes you to 395 w/ scout. Those blowpipe skinks can really benefit from ld7 or 8. I would recommend a Scar Vet or else do something fun with a Skink Chief.

Otherwise you can keep the Skink Preist and use your casting dice. Personally I'd prefer a lvl 2 caster over a dispel scroll, especially since you're already pretty shooty.
