Hi all,

I'm starting lizardmen as my first WFB army, after a few years of playing 40k (DE). I am participating in an escalation league at my club, which looked like a good place to start. For the first round, it's 750 points, no lords allowed.

The list I have in mind is somthing like:

Scar Vet w/ light armour, shield
Skink priest w/ level 2 sorcerer, cube of darkness

20 Saurus warriors w/ musician, standard bearer, champion
12 skink skirmishers

1 Bastilladon w/ solar engine

The last remaining 46 points would go into magic items for the scar veteran, but i'm not sure which items I should take.

Any advice is welcome !!
 
Welcome to Lizardmen!!! I too am relatively inexperienced but I'll give this a bash. Your list is very similar to mine (or what mine would look like at this points total) so hopefully I won't be completely useless!

Firstly, personally I prefer the Dispel Scroll ahead of the Cube. Automatic dispel is better that dispel on 2+ in my opinion. But that's just a preference thing.

As for the Scar Vet I reckon drop the light armour and get the Armour of Fortune and a Biting Blade. That brings your armour save up to 2+ and you get armour piercing on top. Makes him very survivable and pretty solid in a challenge or against high armour troops.

The rest of the army is pretty solid. I take Beasts on the Priest for Wyssans (IMO that is the only spell you need in this style of army) You may want to think about dropping to lvl1 and get a few more Saurus in that block, although that could leave you at a loss for magic defence.

Hope it helps, and other people please feel free to annihilate my response if you think anything in there is bad advice!
