8th Ed. 2250 Lizardmen Tournament List

[Shadoer]

I'm thinking of pushing a monster heavy list with a fast flanking force of Steggadons and a Carnasaur backed up by two solid blocks of Saurus Warriors. What do you guys think?

Lord

Slann
=========
Focus of Mystery
Harmonic Convergence
Eldritch Energy
Trancendental Healing
Forbbiden Rod
Healing Potion

Strategy: Going solo slann but not going to make him Ethrael. I think with a healing potion and transcendental healing, he should be able to shrug off most artillery damage. Also the Forbidden Rod should be useful since he'll gain back his wounds asap.

Hero

Scar Vet on a Carnasaur
=========================
Carnasaur with Bloodroar
Spear
Steggadon Helm
Light Armor
Shield

Scar Vet Battle Standard
=======================
Battlestandard
Talisman of Preservation
Iron Curse

Core

25 Saurus Warriors with Spears

Do not post points costs for individual units. Thanks.

Pretty brutal list. Lots of pummeling in the forecast. Not a lot can deal with 2 Stegs and a Carno besides a cannon or two. Your list could do with a couple units of Chameleons or Terradons. They would help to keep the big guys running longer.

Looks fun though. Be careful with that lone Slann.

Bring on the aggro

I like the build that Kevin Gillet has for his scarnosaur, his list is under battle reports on Warhammer.org forum. Charmed shield, sword of striking etc. Check it out if you want to.

Do you think Transcendent Healing is needed? between Health potion, Apotheosis, and the possibility to swap a HM spell for Lore of life you can have the Lifebloom attribute.

Two units of skinks feel a bit light, those redirectors will be nice against the Skullcrushers etc to give your steggies a possible flank charge.

Seeing that many tournament metas include so many WoC armies...

I bloody love blood roar, so much fun.
If you drop the healing potion and trancendant healing you could afford a skink cohort bunker for your slann. and get a bonus 15 points which you'll definitely want to spend on loping stride. I'd strongly advise charmed shield on your carno. Gives you a much better chance of him seeing combat rather then a cannonball to the face.
I really want to try Scarno LA, Fencer's Blades, Charmed shield and dragonbane gem. Loping and blood roar.
Makes him hard as to wound, and they pretty much wound on 2's anyway. + the extra attack means another chance at PF. And they are rolling atleast 4's and prob 5's to hit your scar-vet and the carno has a bunch of wounds.
Since you arn't rocking any scrolls I'd prob take Becalming cog on your slann too. That leaves a few points for some more saurus or an egg.

Ok, based on your guys advice here's what I'm thinking now


Lord

Slann
=========
Focus of Mystery
Harmonic Convergence
Eldritch Energy
Becalming Cognition - Decided you two have a point. Healing was overkill and Becalming will go a long way to helping me live without a dispel scroll.
Forbbiden Rod
Healing Potion

Strategy: Going solo slann but not going to make him Ethrael. I think with a healing potion and transcendental healing, he should be able to shrug off most artillery damage. Also the Forbidden Rod should be useful since he'll gain back his wounds asap.

Hero

Scar Vet on a Carnasaur
=========================
Carnasaur with Bloodroar and Loping Stride - Again you guys are right, this will come in handy.
Charmed Shield
Other Trickster Shard
Seed of Rebirth - Gotta thank you Pofadder for recommending my that Battle Report. I think I will use a similar build, although I'll take Seed of Rebirth for a little bit of extra protection and keep the spear.
Spear
Light Armor


Scar Vet Battle Standard

Battlestandard
Talismen of Preservation
Iron Curse

10 Skink Cohorts

10 Skink Cohorts - Decided to drop one unit of Skirmishers and go for the two units of Charge Redirection which can double as a Slann bunker if the need arises. But yeah, I could use some charge re directors to help me out.
