8th Ed. First ever 2k lizardman list - Semi competative

[Hiv0r]

Hey guys,

Be harsh as it's my first lizardman list and I have only had the book for around 2 hours. But through careful weeks of study I have stuck to what I believe if fairly tradtional then added flavour where I felt was appropriate (cube of darkness, etc)

Lords:

Slann Mage Priest – The Focused Rumination, Focus of Mystery, Lore of Light, Cupped Balls of the Old Ones, Ironcurse Icon, BSB -

Heros:

Skink Priest – Cube of Darkness, Lore of Heaven’s –

Core:

25 Saurus Warriors – Full Command, Hand weapon + Shields –
20 Saurus Warriors – Full Command, Hand weapon + Shields –
Skrox – 16 Skinks – Full Command, 2 Kroxigors – (Skink Priest)
10 Skink Skirmishers –
10 Skink Skirmishers -

Special:

16 Temple Guard – Full Command, Banner of Discpline –
6 Chameleon Skinks –
6 Chameleon Skinks -

Rare:

Salamander Hunting Pack, Extra handler –
Salamander Hunting Pack, Extra handler –

2000


My other major train of though is a lore of life slann with forbidden rod, but as my current bretonnian army runs a level 4 lore of life I wouldn't mind a stray off the path.

Do NOT post individual points costs for units/items!

Why ironcurse icon on your slann? He already has a 4+ ward. Adding a 6+ ward on top wont do anything.
Unless its for the guard I guess.

If you have 5 pts left what else are you going to spend it on?

 

[Hiv0r]

Well if the only criticism is a 5 point item that is good news for my first list =).

In regards to that item it is designed to give the temple guard the 6+ against war machines as I have heard they are be a problem on the forums and gunline's arn't exactly uncommon.

If that 6+ save goes through on any one of my temple guard it has already practically made 3 times its points back and in other army lists i've found it a very worthwhile item.

Which list do you guys find best?

Hi Hiv0r,

I like both lists but my vote goes to the first one. The reason being that a single Stegadon is going to be a magnet for cannons and the like. I've found that if you're going to take a Stegadon that you're best taking two.

Given that you're taking Lore of Light (my person favorite) you'll find that your Saurus Warriors become...well.... frankly awesome! Once you get to 2400 I'd find room for an extra Steg and some other toys. But at 2000, I'd stick with the 2 blocks of Saurus.

As for 5pt items... I absolutely agree with the Ironcure Icon. The only thing better we have against shooting is the Engine of the Gods with it's 5+ Ward thing.

Welcome to the forum and the land of the lizzies
