So, slowly but surely I've been working on putting together 20k worth of lizards. It all started when i bought 8 stegadons for a 3k list and realised that i didn't want to proxy some of my special stegs as regular/ancient ones (mazda, EOTG, chief). Long story short, I'm closing in on my goal (currently at ~18k) and I wanted to share it with some fellow fans. The painting is taking for-ev-er, but its coming along in leaps and bounds. The only guy I've actually purity sealed is 1 slann (2nd one should be sealed this weekend) but most have the two basic colors on the body and a wash (desert themed). I'll post some pics later if I have the time or enough people ask. Without further delay, my 20k lizardmen list (yellow is things im missing, items denotes whatever magic items you could possibly fit on the unit)

And yes, its a legal list :pompus:
 
Nice! How long would a game that size take? How much storage space do you have to be able to build suck a large force? How about some pictures (nothing to keep the painting going better than a painting log/thread)?
 
Holly crud a unit of 96 Skinks !!! :jawdrop:
(pictures would be great)
 
lol im sure you could get it done in a weekend if you played the bulk of each day. Storage is tricky, i tend to have a lot of things laying around on the painting station, but overall its not that bad. Its all currently confined to 2 big tool boxes, a small storage container and a large storage container. the 12 stegs alone take up the bottom of 1 tool box :D
As soon as i polish off the slann this weekend I'll start posting in a painting thread.
Yea the 96 skinks is a good laugh. I'm a little OCD on unit sizes, hence the odd numbers for saurus and skinks (96 skinks + "4" for tetto on his palaquin, 56 for the saurus + "4" for the slann, etc)
I did run 80 skinks and 5 kroxs in one game, that was gnarly.
 
Sweet mother thats a huge list.
Yeah that be more of taking your turn in break. Oh its your movement phase? I'll go grab lunch be back in an hour :)
That feels a full dining room table would take to display that. And lastly yes pictures please.
 
Ah, Coatl I just noticed where you are posting from,
greetings from the other side of the Bridge Tunnel. :smug:
 
Pictures! Preferably one of the whole army so far - just to see such a thing amassed on the table. That would be one hell of a game :-)

I was thinking as I was reading it that having such big units kind of made up for their weaknesses - CoC in particular. But then I suppose the enemy will have 10 times as many cannons to fire at you.

Lol
 
greetings to you too sir. I normally play at Jerseys Cards and Comics in Yorktown if your ever on this side and fancy a game. the tournament they do is pretty entertaining, always a good amount of people. Yea the CoC horde is more for laughs, but i've been debating sticking it in a 4K game with Kroq-Gar (cant argue with troop cavalry). I wont do it in 3k, him and the horde would be over 2k by themselves :). pictures this weekend. ill do a large overall if i can (ive never actually layed them all out together oddly enough) and ill do some of the conversions, the slann of course and a close up of the color scheme as-is
 
40 Cold One Cav! that would be a pretty impressive/horrific sight to see when dropped across the board from you.

Of course if you have the same luck I do with them they would blow their stupidity rolls for the first 2 turns and you would have 1400+ points just slowly dawdle across the table. :P
 
yea thatd be equally funny. you'd need a bsb close by to stop that nonsense. slann's almost done, just got the gold to finish and the seal.
 
Wow. Just wow. I too would definitely loe to see photos of the army on display, even though it would take a loooong time to do. Must have cost a fortune!

I have a critisicm on the list. So many Slann and priests is pointless. You can only ever have 12 power dice max, so most of them are wasted. Better switch a few of them for carnosaurs.
(Take that as tongue in cheek!)

I played a 10,000 point battle once, of 40k which is faster than WHFB, it lasted about 12 hours and we didn't even get 6 turns in. If you were efficient, an entire weekend would probably be possible.
 
For a game of that level, you would almost have to change the magic rules, or at least adjust for the size of the armies.

Click to expand...

For a game that level, you almost need the entire kitchen FLOOR instead of the table ;).
Looks bloody awesome! And with games this size, it doesn't really matter what your list looks like, I believe it will be the placement of your heavy hitters that will decide the battle. Not the equipment of the hitters themselves. 1 unit = nothing. But that's just my opinion!

And yes, we would like pictures. Please?

Yea I was thinking you need at least 3d6, probably 4. And the slann were more to fill out the characters (I wanted to do something special for mazda. I'm finishing him now) yea price has high, but I could never really buy into another army, so I just play lizards. Their versatility is tough to beat. And if ur good at haggling you can save alot :)
 
What? Haggling at GW Stores? That would be a good idea, I've never thought of that :-)
 
Ill start putting up some pics tonight. Just got in the majority of the stuff I had ordered. Just missing some kroxigors. And haggling with ebayers and people switching armies :). gw doesnt budge, though i do get a discount for playing in the local tourny.
 
pics are up in the painting forum. well, there are pic links in there because i couldnt figure out how to shrink them to 1 pixel. same thing though :)
