hey guys , i know ive been on about my empire army but unfortunately people at the club dont wasnna play against it.... so ive decided to go for sportsmanship over hostility and other little things
so lizardmen ......
i own one lizardman model and that is the old blood from the carnosaur kit
what is the best way to start a lizzy army....... preferably i would like to go all saurus and temple guard but i will make exeptions for salamanders razordons and the troglodon thingy. slaan is an auto include fat frog ftw ........... i appreciate all and any help
may thanks zinogre


Ps i dont know what points to suggest but at the local club we are doing a campaign where you add to your army after every win so im sat at 1725 points (started at 600pts and have won 14 games)
thanks again

ok,
skirmishing skinks!
I use the following models:
skirmishing skinks
temple guard

slann
sometimes astromancer or skink priest
kroxigor
salamanders
stegadons

That is it and I do very well.

thanks for the feed back but i dont really wanna run skinks as they dont appeal to me (model wise) saurus all the way

Oh and i may be swayed to include the bastilodon

hmm, I'd but the starter box, because it gives you 20 saurus, 10 temple guard, and 8 coldone riders. after that try to get about 20 more saurus and 10 more temple guard, just to start. with a saurus army you are going to want the skins from the starter box. with the new predatory fighter rules, you NEED a skink charectar so the saurus don't auto run down to keep your line in form. get some of the carnasaurs cause they are cool. Eventualy keep up the trend of 24 man blocks of saurus 6 wide 4 deep, and try to get around 30 templeguard before buying your slaan. thats some rough advice i can give you from how i made my army. the only difference is that I have about 3 units of 10 skink skirmishers to distract and occasionaly to act as a guard for my skink chiefs and skink prisets so my saurus dont go running everywhere

p.s. trogolodon sucks, build is as a carnosaur.

Running without skinks is an uphill battle but it can be effective if you do it right.

1. /lore of light and skavenpelt banner on the slann are really good choices.

2. templeguard in a horde. Do it.

3. A couple of lor of beasts priests.

4. Cold one scarvets with 1++ armor saves these guys will be your war machine hunters.

5. if your are going to do this. Cold One riders in groups of five make okay flanking units.

6. Sallies are good against hordes but not needed.

7. A TROGLODON is not good don't waste your time.

8. Gor-rol can help you out get him

Thanks for the input guys , i went out and brought the start of my army. i have (so far) a horde of 40 saurus with spears, 10 temple guard, 8 coldones a scar vet and (soon) 3 salamanders and a slann mage preist . i know i need to get like 2 more boxes of temple guard but they can wait. i 1500 points the list will run something along the lines of slann ,scar vet, 40 spear saurus, 3 salamanders, 8 cold ones , something along those lines anyway, cheers for the help
