8th Ed. 2500 point list, help needed

[Angrymiguel]

I am going to a Tournament in a few weeks and am quite new to Lizardmen.

The rules restrict me to max 2 models with Thunderstomp, no Duplicate rare choices over 100 points, no power dice over 12 total used during the magic phase and a few other things like no powerscroll.

This is the list that I have been considering using. My main question is about the 3 wizards. Is that overkill?

I would appreciate some advice and constructive criticism.

Do NOT post rules for items/abilities! Also, don't put all the weapon options in there (read: don't copy/paste directly from army builder). We all know Saurus have a scaly skin, and that skinks are aquatic etc...etc...

Which lore on your Slann?

 

[Angrymiguel]

Life is my lore for now. I also like light. If I took light I would switch in cupped hands instead of the forbidden rod on the slaan.

I would take the cupped hands over the forbidden rod regardless. It's less points, your going to do a lot more damage with it and it also offers your slann added protection against a miscast.

It is more points and I would I think the forbidden rod will probably do as much "damage" as cupped hands. If there are no casters across the board cupped hands will give you a 5 in 6 chance of avoiding a miscast one time. If you have Lore of Life you will be getting that anyway probably from Throne of Vines.

I was thinking that the Life attribute would be perfect to heal up the d3 wounds(less my 4+ ward) from the Forbidden Rod.

If I had light, I was more worried about getting double 6's and blowing up my temple guard.

The Forbidden Rod is 10 points cheaper than Cupped Hands.

Do you guys think I should cut a skink priest for more saurus or not?

 

[Hiv0r]

pretty sure the rod is 35 points and cupped balls is 45 points

Yeh you guys are right, I misread thinking you were talking about the feedback scroll.

 

[Raiderbas]

I would say you made a quite good list. A lot of heroes though. But still enough core. I would say you did it very well if you just started with Lizardmen. I miss cold ones and maybe a normall Stegadon as an artillery weapon. I think you used too much skinks(chameleon and normal) Your army is quite moveable but the skinks are not that strong and in small groups (10-10-7-7) they are going to die a lot in close combat with the regular units like orc boys and gors.

 

[Raiderbas]

Also a lot of magic. Maybe you should replace one skink priest in a chief or scar vet
