So thinking of starting lizardmen...here are two 2k lists I want to try, which do you think will be best?

Slann- BSB, obsidian lodestone, dispel scroll, cube of darkness, harmonic convergence, and becalming cogitation

4 lvl 2 skink priests

32 saurus warriors, musician, SB
10 skink skirmishers- shield&jav
10 skink skirmishers- shield&jav
20 skink cohorts- shield&jav, poison attacks, 3 krox

20 temple guard, musician, SB

Or

Slann- BSB, obsidian lodestone, dispel scroll, cube of darkness, harmonic convergence, and becalming cogitation

Skink priest- lvl 1

20 saurus warriors, musician, SB
20 saurus warriors, musician, SB
10 skink skirmishers- shield&jav

20 temple guard, musician, SB
8- cold one riders, musician, SB
8- cold one riders, musician, SB

List 1
1. Your cohort is illegal. Replace 2 saurus with 4 skinks.
2. You can't have dispel scroll and cube on the same model.
3. Cut at least two priests .
4. More temple guard at least 6 in my opinion.
5. Scar vet cowboys and terradons. Are needed.
6. If you running harmonic maximize with a channelling staff.
7. Chameleon Skinks are you friends get some. Ditto for salamanders.
8.I've found Cold one Riders work best in a unit of 5 with musician. They really suffer from a steep degrade in return on investment after that.
9.If your running like this consider skavenpelt banner on your slann combined with temple guard it makes a useful unit mulcher.

Your look like you've bought a couple battalions. Maximize with another box of tg. Add monsters for fun.

Yea made the lists based off of the battle box deciding on what to purchase

Yeah it shows! Lol

But hey it okay there's lots of good pieces in there.

I like atleast one horde of saurus warriors for 470 points with spears, insane attacks.

I built my army around supporting the saurus , skink priests using lore of beasts.

Slann is great, in a bunker of atleast 25 in my opinion.

Salamander is great points 80 for dealing out so much more in return.

at 2k, I would try to atleast have a scar-veteran, for less than 100 pts can take out just about most other heroes.

Bastilidon with solar engines add +1 int and have 24 inch shooting attack in magic phase (takes power dice....) but with T5 2+SV is can dish out some damage in melee.

I agree that a saurus horde can put out a lot of attacks and when wildform is on them they can teqr through anything. The problem a unit like that suffers from is a lack of maneuverability and most units won't take all your attack as some ranks just won't touch.

BTW if you want a death star 36 Temple guard with a lore of light slann (lore of beasts is awesome if you load the front rank with scar vets(bubbled savage beast anyone)) with skavenpelt banner and a lore of beasts priest. When bironas is up that's 53 s5 attacks. 43 when its not. Combined with a basti or speed of light it can become amazing
