Hey folks

So, I'm trying to build up my army. For the list below I have the models for everything but the 3 salamanders and will be getting them soon. But, my eventual goal is 3000 pts. I'm wondering what else I should add to the army? My original idea for the army was to stop at 1000 pts and have it be all 100% skinks with javelins and blowpipes running around shooting stuff and being annoying. Then the army book came out and plans changed and I started adding kroxes and stegadons. I know my HQ section is huge and my core troops have barely anything as far as points go. Do I want to add in 100 more skinks? That will probably drive me nuts building and painting them all. Do I ditch the skink theme and start adding a lot of saruses and temple guard? I could probably add more teradons but the models are metal and kinda pricey.

with the below list as a guide, what would you add to the army to crank it up to 3000 pts?


2250 Pts - Lizardmen Roster - Sleestax 2000 - 2 stegs

Saurus Oldblood @ 428 pts

All Skinks is an interesting idea. I think that at these points a few Saurus wouldn't hurt. I would take a few CoC to help keep the Carnosaur in safe. I would also drop four Skinks from the Skrok unit, then use the points to either get the Diadem or some extra handlers for the rares. The full command is also a bit iffy on the unit... Also, take five Skirmishers from each unit to have three units of ten. Going up to 3000 mono skinks might start to get rough. Once more Steg and more Terradons would be useful there. Past that, you might want to take some CoC with a Scar-Vet or something.

OK I changed it around. 1 unit of 20 saruses is 250 pts so that works perfectly, I can just take my 2000 list and tack them on. And till I buy them, I can just use my beastmen as proxies.

then to expand to 3000 I'll add another unit of 20 but with spears maybe, and some temple guard, then the salamanders and probably a 2nd unit of teradons.

thank god for tax returns.
