I love chaos warriors but at 16 points i cringe with every list i make.
now i hear that saurus warriors are right up there statwise with the chaos boys but not having seen the codex i'm not sure how the rest of the list pans out.

so who does an infantry list better.... chaos or lizards?

Lizardmen have most of the important stats that Chaos Warriors do (S, T, A...) They also come fully equipped at 11pts.

For 5pts more, a Chaos Warrior with shield pays for

+2 WS
+4 I
+1 save

Is that "worth it?" Maybe. Chaos Warriors don't tend to break past 12 models at 16pts a pop, but at 12pts a pop with spears I can see myself taking 18 Saurus. Before casualties, that's 25 str 4 attacks when deployed 6 wide with command.

If you like 'ard infantry, Saurus Warriors are up there.
