Just this Sunday I got the lizardmen army book..... To start my new army I decided to collect in 500 point blocks This is the first block.... Not sure if I am going magic heavy, balanced, or elite heavy This is the first block, it has some possibility to do any one of those three.....


16 Saurus warriors (spears)
2x12 Skink skirmishers (blowpipes)
1 level 2 Priest with plaque of topak and diadem of power

(4 power dice/ 3 dispel dice) or (2 power dice/ 5 dispel dice)

What do you guys think

I think that looks really good . A very flexible army for 500 points!

After this, you can start to go in one of the directions you've indicated, but this will give you a good feel for the core of the army.

I like it

After this I'm think about getting a Eotg and a coupe of extra skinks

I would suggest an ancient steg, more spear saurus, and terradons to continue building a rock solid list.

This is my new list building block I decided to start with....
500 point total

Skink Priest lvl 2- 100
Skink Priest lvl 2- 100

Skink (10)-50
Skink (10)-50
SKink Skirimishers (10)-70
SKink Skirimishers (10)-70

Special
Chameleon Skink (5)-60

It's a cool idea You can fit in a lot of skinks in even at 500 points

Do people dislike chameleon skinks???? It seems like every body hates them.... I think that they seem pretty good with BS 4, and the chameleon ability combined with skirmishers and blowpipes and scouts for only 12 points!!!!!

For there points they are cost effective march blockers and war machine hunters.

That first block to the army is coming along nicely, the next few things I would consider getting is 2 Units of 20 Saurus Warriors and possibly a Scar Veteran to lead them.

That would give you a solid 1000pt army (with some unit size trimming, but you want 20, much like Chaos Warriors a block of 20 Saurus is not going anywhere fast, this allows you to later add in either Cavalry, Stegadons and Kroxigor to counter charge and destroy a unit.)

How many lvl 2 wizards can most armies field??????

That depends on the size of the game. At 2000-2999 points (which is played most often) most armies can take one Lv4 and 3 Lv2 wizards maximum.

I was talking about at 500 points

one its possible to get two, iirc, but then ur low on points for anyhting else
