2000 Pts - Lizardmen Roster

I need some speed to get to his war machines which he always takes.

He is a fan of poison globe mortars, warped lightening cannons and ratling guns.

I like it! Looks like a fun list to play, and competitive. Obviously the chameleons take out the cannon 1st turn, otherwise one of those stegadons is probably history, but at least you've got 2.

My only thoughts:
Slann lore - why metal? Seems like a strange choice vs skaven. I would've thought Life with dwellers below would be a good option.

The skrox unit - what is it for? Seems like a small unit of slaves could hold these guys up indefinitely, and for less than half the cost. I'd either try to fit at least one more kroxigor in there, or else ditch the unit in favour of more chameleons and saurus. And maybe a Scar-vet option in the saurus, if you ditch the unit champions? Get some more punch, aside from the stegs.

Good call I forgot all about Lore of Life. I had that in my list against empire and it was awesome

Ok not bad Ill ditch the unit champions, free up some points and then either add a krox or ditch that outright for more saurus and some chameleons. I had 10 C Skinks originally but dropped two down to get that Krox stuff in there

I could use some more punch, I forgot about how many skaven he will have out there.
