Hmmm I must have skipped that part of the rules explaining old book spells.
I hope he does get the salamanders and the big Don just so we can play games bigger than 2000 points. I swear no matter which universe you play you have to come out of your pockets to make points for Chaos

Yeah its a huge monster with 5 skinks on board or a skink priest.

2 units of 3 salamanders (I ran this at 2500pt tourneys early on in 8th ed) running up a flank together make a hell of a mess of chaos warriors.

You can march and fire.
Are skirmished if he has anything to shoot at you.
The brillian Monsters and Handlers ablative ward saves.
Cause fear
Cold blooded.

Hands down the best unit in the lizardmen army, and 2 are twice as great.

Turn 1 set up position.
turn 2 get around his flank and then spend the rest of the game roaring fire straight down his line.

Greatweapons on warriors is a not so good build. It wastes their high initiative. You should be able to kill a fair few before they strike back in close combat at least.

good thing he never said the warriors were using great weapons

Heh You say marauder, I hear warrior . Yeah good catch there.

+1. I got lucky my first couple outings against them, with misfires or something. Since then, they've been a nightmare...

Yeah salamanders are one of the best units in the lizardmen army book. With a -3 to any armour saves and 3 wounds apiece, they can take some damage and hold up the enemy advance.

Don't forget skirmishers and about 3-4 wounds worth of 5+ ward. They can hold a flank by themselves unless the enemy puts somehing really nasty there.
