I HAVE CHECK OUT THE ARMYBOOK AND RULEBOOK! BUT I CAN NOT FIND ANY INFO ABOUT BLOWPIPE!

IS BLOWPIPE 12' S3 & SHOOT TWICE?

ALSO ABOUT TEMPLE GUARD!! THEY HAVE SCALY SKIN 5+ SAVE!

BUT WEAR LIGHT ARMOUR! IS IT THIS MEAN THEY GOT 4+ SAVE AGAINST SHOOTING?

CARRY SHIELD IN CLOSE COMBAT IS IT THIS MEAN THEY GOT 3+ SAVE??

MY FRIEND TOLD ME THEY HAVE A 3+ SAVE AGAINST BOTH SHOOTING & CLOSE COMBAT?

ALSO DO THEY CARRY ONE HAND HALBERD ANOTHER HAND CARRY SHIELD?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I REALLY NEED HELP!!

The rules for the blowpipe are on page 49 of the Lizardmen army book. Multiple shot 2x means that the firer may choose to shoot double the number of shots (i.e 2), but suffers a -1 penalty to hit. they are also poisoned attacks if shot by skinks.
As for your question on temple guard, I interperet it as they get a 3+ armour save against shooting, and a 4+ in Combat (I could be wrong here, but Halberds are two handed weapons, and to use a sheild in close combat I think you need one free hand )

Hope this helps.

Scaly skin (5+) plus Light Armour and Shield make for a 3+ save against ranged attacks. Although the halberd may not be used with the shield, the alternative is to fight with hand weapons and shields, making for a 2+ save.

Arctik and Fauntleroy both answered the question, but I thought I'd make this off-topic aside -

You should really consider using proper capitalization instead of typing everything out in all caps.

I second all of the above.

Sorry!! My bad!! ><

Not at all unbeatable, 2+ saves drop to 3+ or 4+ once their strength starts ramping up....

You cannot alternate weapon choices during combat: you must pick a weapon (halberd etc) at the start of the first round of combat and stick with it until combat has finished.

Also note the +1 for HW plus shield is onluy when engaged to the front.

Yup. You could alternate from fight to fight, however. So if you’re in a combat where you need the extra protection but don’t need high strength (maybe against an enemy unit using spears, but only T3), you could choose to fight with hand weapon and shield at the start of that fight. And if you get out of that fight intact, and wind up in a new combat against an enemy unit with really good armor saves where you want higher strength (maybe enemy knights), you could choose at the start of that new fight to use the halberds instead of your shields and hand weapons.
