Got a tournament next weekend.
1,999 no Lords.

I have a choice of dwarfs or lizards.
I pretty much have most units with at least 30 in the core units.
Just curious as to where you lot would go with this as i have always used Lords.

Depends hwo competitive you want to be.
Dwarfs would be more competitive with the cannons and such.

Lizards you could go with skink priests but meh lizards are difficult to with low magic.

Your only hard hitting unit is your cold one cavalry and if that suffers one wound you can't break ranks anymore bit of a glass cannon without the cannon part

It is going to have the 3 Scar Vets in it but yeh, even at that its still a potential bannana skin.

IMO, any list based on 1 unit hitting is asking for trouble; too many hexes and hose a single unit.

Scar vets are amazing for the points, and 2 units of saurus with 1 or 2 vets each is a real threat. Support with salamanders, chaemeleons and maybe a priest with dispel.

I personally think the Dwarfs will fare better. I'm starting up a Dwarf army to replace my Lizards actually. The crap initiative bugged me. So now i'll go last, but get +2 strength for it lol.

Very true. Gun line and wait for them to come to you. Then charge them Cannons to castle up and pound your enemy into submission. Their fighters even rival Chaos Warriors. The only issue is they are slow and have a low initiative.
