all models are 4th edition

20 temple guard
40 sauraus warriors
40 skinks
4 Krox
3 salamanders
2 x slaan mage priests
8 cold one riders (these are my only new models)

I also have some champions and skink mages and such mixed in there.

I am looking for a well rounded army. I think I need a hero on a carnosaur, maybe a steggadon, and then some more rank and file lizards.

Suggestions?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/340075/2332956.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/340075/2332956.page GMT
1 box of temple guard

1 box of saurus warriors

1 carnosaur with a champion rider

1 stegadon



I think my new strategy will be maximize magic, have a slaan and then several skink shamans.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/340075/2337236.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/340075/2337236.page GMT
Lizards are very solid in 8th, they have solid blocks of infantry which are tough to break and Slann are now the best magic users in the game (special characters aside). Unfortunately big monsters did take a bit of a hit, the Carnosaur and Stegadons are cannonball magnets and can't run through units like they used to. They are certainly still usable but I would recommend more than 1 Stegadon if thats the route you want to use. What you have is plenty to get a 2400pt list going, a Slann + 16+ TG and a couple of decent sized Saurus blocks with support from Skinks and Salamanders is a good start to any Lizardmen list.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/340075/2337323.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/340075/2337323.page GMT
The problem is I really want two magic users for my strat. I want one using life magic for buffs and then I want one using some sort of attack magic to do damage to the enemy. I mean life magic allows you to save against miscast and it allows to buff my units with a +4 Toughness which is nice, but against an army like Chaos I need to dish out damage as they all have good armor and also dish out tons of hand to hand (well I played against Khorne last).

I think I am going to rematch my friend who is playing Chaos. Though this time I think he is taking Slaanesh mages with his Khorne bad ass troops in chaos armor. To be honest, I feel a bit intimidated. The good news is, he won't have a lot of shooting attacks against me.

I was thinking about putting a Saurus hero on the Carnosaur and giving him the always strikes first weapon, and maybe a ward save or something else for items. Then doing rank and file troops of sauraus and skinks and a mage or two with one being a mage priest in some TG.

Thoughts, suggestions?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/340075/2337463.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/340075/2337463.page GMT My friend always has a slann with law of heavens and two disiplines (or whatever theyre called). He uses the Loremaster one to gain all spells of heavens and the one that gives an extra power dice to every spell (this truly is brilliant if you cast multiple spells per phase.
He also uses Chakax in the same unit. This is an great addition to that unit for not too much points cost.

Thanks for the tips. I was also looking at light magic I think there is a spell that casts WS10 I10 on any unit, and a unit of sauraus warriors or TG with WS10 I10 sounds like it could whoop some butt in hand to hand.
