7th Ed. Help with a Lizardman 'Ardboyz list

[IsawaShori]

Hey everybody. I have decided to bring Lizardmen for the semi-final round of the ‘Ardboyz. I have played my lizzie army before, but not enough to be confident going into the next round. I’m asking for you to critique this list and make suggestions as you see fit. Please explain your suggestion though.

·Slann
Transcendent Healing, The Focused Rumination, Higher State of Consciousness, BSB, Plaque of Tepok, Bane Head, Dispel Scroll

·Saurus Oldblood
Carnosaur, L. Armor, Blade of Realities, Enchanted Shield

·Skink Priest
EotG, Lvl 2, Rod of the Storm, Diadem of Power

·Skink Priest
Horned One, Biting Blade

·10 Skink Skirmishers; blowpipes
·10 Skink Skirmishers; javelins, shields
·20 Saurus Warriors; FC, spears
·20 Saurus Warriors; FC

·20 Temple Guard; FC, War Banner, Burning Blade of Chotec
·Stegadon
·5 Cold One Cavalry; Champion, Musician

I’m thinking of going in with a heavy slann to try and get some spells off in the magic phase. I know I am taking a risk without Cupped Hands of the Old Ones and I am not sold on leaving that item behind. Plaque of Tepok frees up a slann ability and I decided on going for protection for my frog, he is a lot of points. The Bane Head is for demon lords and powerhouse vampires. If I can successfully hit one of them with a spell from the Lore of Light, the wound will double.

The Oldblood is in there to hunt a demon if I need to. I don’t know if the Blade of Realities will work against it, but if they do fail that critical roll, the investment will have definitely paid off.

I know the priest on a cold one is an odd selection. What my thinking is for this model is to put him in the cold one cavalry for some protection and get him in a place where I have a better shot to channel a spell through him from the slann.

I chose Temple Guard for the slann. They are tough as nails and an imposing unit. I went big with the numbers for survivability. The unit champion gets the Burning Blade, I figure three attacks at –3 AS is impressive.

Two big blocks of Saurus warriors will be the my center line of the army, depending on enemy deployment and terrain of course.

Please let me know if I am on a decent line of thinking for this army composition. Feel free to rip into my character selection and their respective configuration, just please be constructive, I am very open to suggestions and amendments.

'Ardboyz is that American tournament that has no restrictions right? Why not take 2 Slann, 4 EoTG, 40 Skink Skirmishers and a couple of Terradons to march block?

'Ardboys is a tournament that should be called, 'Hey, bring the cheesyest list you can possibly think of'

I mean, my main army is High Elves and for 'Ardboys I brought the twins. For those who don't know that combination its Tyrion and Teclis.
Tyrion is probably the best named character behind Archaon.
Teclis is tied for best mage with Kroak.

What a glourious day.

I'm assuming this is at 3000 points, since you have two lords? Or are we talking 3500? This will give me an excuse to check out the LM special characters...

 

[ColdBlood666]

This makes me a traitor as a daemon player but oh well. Im on the daemonic legions forum and they are creating some very nasty lists. Multiple bloodthirsters with multiple units of flesh hounds. Full on mega magic zteentch armies, etc. Remember tho no right minded daemon player is going to leave home without the standard of sundering so watch your lore of light against the daemons.

Yeah! The 'Ardboyz I participated in was 3,000 points. But everyone else had horrible lists to, so it ended up being a great time. Tyrion versus Skarbrand (I think that's his name) was epic.

 

[ColdBlood666]

Skarbrand is a beast. Last game I used him I killed like 10 swordmasters, 5 phoenix guard, elf highborn off his dragon, he put half wounds on a star dragon, and a battle standard bearer and a great eagle.

no daemon player with a sane mind is going without at least one banner of use-lore-of-light-and-you-die-cause-we-are-cheating.

Now here's a funny similarity... coincidence? plagiarism? subliminal message?
