I need help creating a 4500 point army for a game against my friend.
He's an ex Games Workshop employee and always somehow manages to beat me despite me seeming to get a great start in most games. I've discussed it with him a few times and he suggests it always down to my army selection.
So I'm hoping that some people here, with more knowledge of the Lizardman army can give me a point in the right direction, either by writing me an army list, or at least giving me some suggestions (I was worried that this might be considered cheating, but after talking it through with him he'd like more of a callenge anyway).
A bit about my opponant. He plays Dark Elves is the first thing I should mention. Likes to take very shooty/magic heavy armies and is a big fan of dark riders (even in 1k point games I can expect to come across 2 units of 6 of these) but every once in a while he likes to throw up an pure combat army to keep me on my toes.
To date (whilst using the 8th edition rules) we've only played small games to get to grip with the rules (1500points and under) so this will be our first big game so unsure how he is going to play it. I have noticed that he seems less interested with bolt throwers than he was and alot more interested in crossbowmen.
Nothing else about his tactics come to mind, but if you need anything else please ask and I'll try remember.
With regards to models, I have pretty much a large enough selection of stuff that I should be able to field pretty much anything people suggest.
To point out, I only started Lizardmen 4 months ago, was playing as Wood Elves before that, so I no doubt still have alot to learn tactic wise, there certainly is a large learning curve.

Only thing I'd like to add is the use of Terradons and Chamo's. Before mensioned Dark Riders really don't like rocks
