8th Ed. GT Lizards 2500 pts

[Furgil]

I've got an Infantry army of Spartan Hoplites and Peltasts that works well as Lizardmen. It has some practice in a Swedish Comp GT earlier this year. I adjusted it for this GT since comp isn't as heavy. They are allowing each special character to be taken by only 1 person and I managed to get Tetto'eko to assist my army.

It doesn't have much variety, but the Magic us about the best that can be bought and the TG are nearly unbeatable (especially with buffs) and the Skinks are good at irritating enemies and handle anything without armor and the combat characters are pretty solid and murder-rific.

Love the idea of the theme. Have you modelled them with hoplon shields?

A comp score of 8.0 is not heavy?
I really like the Greek theme you are doing. Been on a Rome 2 kick lately, cant get enough of the history.

8.0 is a medium-strong list for Swedish Comp. My non-Tetto'eko list is maxed out much better for a 13.4 Comp score (a level 1 heavens Skink instead of Tetto'eko and 2 of the skirmisher units are turned into Cohort units which makes up a massive amount of comp points). Tetto'eko was allowed and comp wasn't a major factor, so I tried a tougher version of my typical list. I think it will seriously help me in some matches and some scenarios where I need to engage early or capture objectives quickly.

The models are from Crocodile Games "War Gods of Olympus" Spartans. They look very similar to the Spartans in the movie 300. The Oracle is a mostly nude chick I found from a different company that is being carried by a pair of Spartans with another Spartan holding the Standard next to them on the same 50x50mm base.
