8th Ed. 2000 pts army

[Beyonder]

Any tips would be appreciated, still relatively new to lizardmen. This is going to my basic list that I want to remove and add models to try them (e.g., the rippers, and some heroes/lords). Mostly want to try and beat Warriors of Chaos, High elves, Orcs and Goblins and Empire.


Lords: 435

Slaan
BSB
Focus of mystery, Harmonic convergence, Channeling staff, Ironcurse icon, Soul of stone

Doubting whether I should keep soul of stone. But I guess its good.. Ironcurse for the temple guards


Heroes 206

Saurus Scar Vet
Cold one, LA, GW, Dragonhelm

Skink Priest
Scroll

Feels a bit weak on heroes. Any tips on the Suarus gear?


Special

Cham skinks 6x

Bastilodon

Temple guard 20X
FC

Im a big bastilodon fan! Wish I could field two.. heh.


Core 500

Skink skirmisher 10x throwing weapons
Skink skirmisher 10x throwing weapons

Saurus Warriors 30x
FC

maybe I should add a skirmisher pack on this amount of points and remove some Saurus?


Rare 330

Ancient Stegadon
Sharpened Horns

Salamander 1x

I guess this is decent. Ancient steg just too awesome!

I think this is the basic 2k army for anyone.

Your Slann is not that expensive (he will always be expensive..). If you have a big unit of temple guard, you really want to have Soul of Stone, to prevent the big frog from blowing up part of the unit is great. It also helps from getting sucked into the warp...
Your core is basic but solid. And we like to call the throwing weapons 'Javelins'
Special with TG and Bastilodon is very good and I really like chameleon skinks.
Also, your rare slots are filled in like a lot of players would.

Really, if this is the core: you're doing great.

More skirmishers are good, but be wary of dropping too many saurus.
The gear on the scar-vet...I don't have my army book at the moment. But all I would say: keep him cheap.

Good luck out there!

Thank you very much for the reply! Yeah this is as basic as it gets I guess. Ive been playing the 1500 version (without temple guard and chameleon skinks). Its been working. So I just extended it with this.

Then just one extra question, namely, how would this ideally be positioned? I understand its very dependent on the enemy (e.g., heavy cavalry? --> ancient steg that way). But more in general.

I guess the temple guard and the Saurus side by side in the middle. Maybe the Bastiladon in the center it? Scar vet and Ancient Stegadon on the sides together with the two redirecors?
