Hello everyone, I was browsing the internet and came upon this forum. I'm interested in possibly starting a Lizardmen force but just wanted to ask a few questions and see if this was the army for me. I played Empire in 6th edition, and Tomb Kings now. Tomb Kings, while reliable, are pretty frail with low toughness and low armor saves. The Lizards appealed to me, because they look tough. Toughness 4 with a 4+/3+ save on basic troopers is neat. Also, from what I hear Lizards are reliable, not as reliable as Undead, but they stick when you need them too.
Now, I have been poking around through other army books as well, and while you guys aren't the only ones with Toughness 4, it seems you guys have that AND high damage potential. I was interested in Orcs, but my interest quickly faded as the more I read, the less they seemed like a competitive tourney army. I'm not saying they CAN'T, I'm saying it's tougher to win with Orcs than with Lizard (at least that's my interpretations).
I'd like to hear from you Lizard players. Is it worth it to jump on board with the cold blooded ones, or should I keep looking. I really like the fact you guys are versatile AND tough.. and the GW site goes on to say Lizards have no real weakness other than choosing the wrong types of troops for your strategies.
Orcs get alot of bodies on the field, but they're poor on leadership and staying power. They have interesting units but animosity wreaks havoc with the army.
Chaos just doesn't interest me as 1. they're lists are a bit messy with the new Daemons coming out. And 2. I don't think they have the all around versatility Lizards have.
Any comments are welcome, I'm trying to learn as much as I can about this army, but am also open to other armies. How are Lizards competively? Are they FUN? Are they point and click / boring? I want to hear it all, good and bad.
Anyways thanks for reading and for any comments that might be posted.
