Saurus are really good. As others have said they’ve been bulked up beautifully, getting the right mix between muscular and lean.

I think a chunk of it for me are their tails, and how those have helped inform the poses, that they’re not just there for the sake of being there, but looking to be helping them maintain balance in combat.

The clubs and shields are particularly nifty, looking just the right mix of well made, yet primitively vicious, but I’ve not yet seen their spears.

Of course, this means we now need new Temple Guard and Saurus Cavalry updated to this much nicer aesthetic. Especially the Temple Guard who despite being Elite Infantry now look much too scrawny.

Roll on the rest of the reveals.

So if people were to estimate, would they say the new Slaan are on an 80mm round base, like Kroak or something smaller/larger?

Wonder if they can’t make Temple Guard a dual kit with the Saurus. Alternate heads, some add-on armor plates, alternate halberd head for the spear arms.. Could be doable.

Such a great looking army so far. Honestly I hope we get a total range refresh. Even the recent carnosaur could use a new rider that looks closer to the revamped saurus

I'm also liking that its leaning into the technology aspects of the Lizardmen that were made far more bold in the AoS setting.

If we can get new Temple Guard, Saurus Knights, Kroxigor, and maybe a foot and mounted lord, I can live with all the other common units. Skinks aren't that bad, dinos look good still.

Oh baby these new Seraphon are looking just fantastic. Can't wait to get my grubby hands on all of them!

The old astrolith bearer is one of the couple models I own but haven't painted yet. I should probably do that before the new one comes out and I can't bear to deal with the old finecrap lol.

I gotta think they replace all Saurus units. No way they give the army half new sweet ones and half old derp ones.

Nice...definitely will fit in with my Lost Kingdom Lizardmen. Same basic aesthetic.

The Carnosaur Oldblood looks significantly more like the new Warriors than the existing kits. The increase in sculpt quality from 2003-2013 was so astronomical that there's not really all that much an update from 2013-2023 can improve on. Only reason to update the Carnosaur kit now would be to bring the traditional Mesoamerican aesthetic more in line with the new ancient technology style, and I guess a different pose for the Carnosaur itself would be welcome too.

They can definitely redo the footslogging Oldblood clampack though, I'd love a customizable kit that can build a Scar Veteran, Oldblood or Sunblood.

Temple Guard, Saurus Knights and Kroxigors seem like safe bets at this point, and if we get Saurus Knights then I feel it'd be all but guaranteed we'll get a Scar-Veteran (/Oldblood) on a Cold One. Eternity Warden similarly likely if we get Temple Guard, plus it'd replace a resin miniature which seems to be one of the driving philosophies lately. I'd love for the Salamanders and Razordons to get the 3-model kit treatment each, a dual kit seems very unlikely without wasting a huge amount of plastic, but with the four releases revealed, three more units already very likely, and the strong possibility of at least one more footslogger and one mounted hero, I can't expect we'll see much more unless this ends up being an update to rival Soulblight (13 new plastic kits, if I counted correctly, but 6 of them were for Cursed City)

im still hoping for 1 or 2 brand new BIG dinos (please a thunderlizard -- the size of that necron apocaylpse model some years ago) i can dream. or atleast a dread saurian or an arcanadon?

Also a mazdamundi character kit with its own unique stegadon?

Im assuming the knights, kroxigors will get updated for sure..

The oldblood on carnosaur has a super sweet "ancient technology" laser robot hand.

Just wish they would preview next books as well. Funny they start lizard hype now while not even admit kharadrons being next also would be nice to hear khorne or slaanesh first, or both?

But good kit. As locally there's tons of lgzard players looking forward facing these on field

An old favourite game of mine was an RTS called Rise of Legends.

One of the three factions was basically a mesoamerican people that build their civilization on top of the ruins of a destroyed space ship. So THEY had spears that shoot lásers, and their gods were giant Stone golems that were robots underneat.

I always liked that, and Im glad new lizardmen integrate that into their miniatures without going overboard with It.

Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

Well, chances are they're not getting many - if any - new models, so there's not much to show off!

What a glow-up! That is a huge improvement over the old!

The fact we're also seeing rules could imply that we might get these sooner rather than later!

(For those about to correct me about the 'summer', GW clarified in the reveal article that it was "end of Spring")

Love the threatening pose, the mix of celestial and aztec-themed details, and just how SWOLE he is compared to the old anemic bearer!

Some people, including me, have already speculated that the rumour engine from last January 31st is a Kroxigor Moonhammer:



With any luck, we might get Boxigors from TWWHII:



And if GW REALLY loves us as much as they imply, they might do a case like the Terradons, where you can build the unit or make a named hero (Tiktaq'to) and two generic heroes (skink chiefs on Terra or Ripper, at the same time even), and let you make a new, hero Kroxigor, like the one they made precisely for TWWII, or even Nakai, if they are going to make the kit compatible with TOW, which they should do.

And then I remember plastic Farsight is coming too.

How many lungs I need to live, again?

the reveals at vegas open, when they showed the clip and the 3 sets (slann, skink riders, new saurus) they said thats less than half of the new sets for the lizards coming . So if we take it literally, 3 being less than half - so 7 or 8 sets? we now know the 4th (the banner holder?)

Pretty sure that comment was aimed at Air Dwarves and the chaos books, not lizards.

The release order they've shown is Spring- Order, Chaos, Chaos, Death, Death and then another Order book in Summer.
Odds are really high that at least 3 (if not 4) of those six books will be book and a single model. I'd go even further and suggest that one of the death books will get the other big release, because both ghouls and ossiarchs are rather thin product lines. One of those will get love (odds on ossiarchs).

Efficiency is the highest virtue.
