How was it? did you feel you had too many? not enough?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265550/1114207.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265550/1114207.page GMT Lizardmen-How many Saurus?

I am unsure about the sizing of the unit, should I try 20 warriors a regiment?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265550/1114219.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265550/1114219.page GMT Lizardmen-How many Saurus? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265550/1114222.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265550/1114222.page GMT Lizardmen-How many Saurus? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265550/1114298.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265550/1114298.page GMT Re:Lizardmen-How many Saurus? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265550/1114450.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265550/1114450.page GMT Re:Lizardmen-How many Saurus?
7 across might work, but then it would may waste a few models since the smaller bases with only 5 wide would avoid 1 column on the flank.

Do you plan to place, Champions, Musicians, or Banners in the units? In 1000 points I would avoid the banner but put the other two in.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265550/1114614.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265550/1114614.page GMT Lizardmen-How many Saurus?
When armed with HW shield (what I have modeled) I run them 5 wide in unit of 10, or 15 then add a character. Noone else uses HW/shield. :(

Saurus are not shock troops, they will be hitting almost everything on a 4+. They are tarpits but can do enough attacks, coupled with cold blooded and a BSB nearby to stick around for ages, to allow your other units to counter charge.

People rarely shoot at saurus as they advance, they are too busy shooting/magicing terradons, stegs, sallies, kroxigor etc.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265550/1114662.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265550/1114662.page GMT Lizardmen-How many Saurus?
Saurus can be pretty effective against most infantry, what with T4 S4 and A2. Their pitiful WS 3 however, is uninspiring. They can reliably beat most T3 core troops, and have a pretty solid chance against most T4 (Barring those damn Chaos Warriors, and Bloodletters, maybe)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265550/1115386.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265550/1115386.page GMT Lizardmen-How many Saurus? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265550/1119054.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265550/1119054.page GMT Lizardmen-How many Saurus? WS 5.

Same with Chaos Warriors.

Plus, at I1, you're pretty much striking last UNLESS you get the charge.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265550/1119414.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265550/1119414.page GMT Lizardmen-How many Saurus?
So, if your going to field spears you want two full ranks of guys and some guys to take casualties. Generally it is worth paying for the entire third rank. A fourth rank is expensive and not usually worth it as it provides little. 6 wide with three ranks is the standard and it works well.

In this configuration they will stand up to most knight charges and will fend off dam near any opposing infantry.

As for how many units to take...3 is the max, 2 is decent, 1 is fine. Really one or two depending on the makup of the rest of your army.

Point for point letters lose to sarrus warriors taking or receiving the charge. Point for point letters with a hearld will kill sarrus warriors with a scar vet on the charge (and they should easily get the charge with the magical banner) but will still lose if charged.
