Hey fellow generals,
Whats up? Well I have came back and finally tracked down my old lizardmen units. I will be revamping an old list I had kicking around with the newer 8th edition items and all that new snazz. I was going to run a fluffy lizardmen list...thats right we're going out to the SOUTHLANDS!. So im new to these 8th edition changes and trying to figure what makes something good in the new edition was kinda tough.

Heroes:
Saurus Scar-Vet
Cold One
Shrieking Blade
Seed of Rebirth
Ironcurse Icon

Skink Priest
Level 1
Cloak of Feathers
Dispell Scroll

Core:
30 Saurus Warriors
Music
Standard
Spears

10 Skink Skirmishers


Special:
5 Chameleon Skinks
5 Chameleon Skinks

818/1000
BREAKDOWN: Well this is the list 818 out of 1000 points. I thought a small personalised forces would work well. Skinks, Skink, and more of them. It focuses on them and seeing Ive got them in bulk I got them as proxyies atm.

However with this list in mind, I wanted the leader group to be the focusing powerhouse with a small horde of ranked troops? Risky Stratagy but adds fluff to the army

Im stilll hazy about the rules but are we allowed to have Lord class chracters at this level? So what would stop me addinga super soldier for this list. \


anyway what yall think for this small list to get out of retirement with.

In the new rules you can have a lord even in 1000 pts battles, as long as its point cost don't exceed 25% (250pts), and you can have heroes up to 25% also (also 250pts).
You do have to have a minimum of 2 units in your army (easy) and a minimum of 25% (again 250pts) of core troops.

This give you a lot of options, slanns are out as are EotG. but old bloods, scar vets and priest are very doable.

in these small points games, your cheap skinks can be a real advantage, because of poison and with the kroxigors ranked up choice.

Welcome back!
I love the list, and the idea of fluff based army!!
1. 30 warrior at this size is sooo overkill. I would lower them at least to 25, and probably 20.
2. The role chamelion skinks play is really only needed by one unit in an army this size, I would combine them into a single unit.
3. The scar general is a bit out of place, I would get a min sized cold one unit to accompany him.
4. With the extra points I would suggest
a. Salamander
b. Another skirmisher unit
c. Terradons
