7th Ed. How should I start lizardmen now?

[ron]

What with the new Lizzies what should I get? I was thinking about 2 batallion boxes to start with because they are the most "bang for my buck" and get me 40 Saurus warriors, 24 Skinks, 16 Saurus Cold Ones, and 20 Temple Guard. A Slaan is definatly very high on my "to buy" list after that, I want to get some salamanders too, and I should probably pick up a krox or 2 to go with the skinks, but I am not sure after that.

More Skinks?

I know that the Engine of the Gods would be awesome, but unless I find a way to make a cheap conversion, I want to stay away from pouring that much money into one model.

I would probably buy a steggi as it now comes with so many options, you're sure to find use for it, either as an ancient, regular or as EoTG

With 2 battalions your already doing good. 16 Cold ones i wonder if somone will ever field that much

I say, try a low rate battle with those units. If you like the skinks buy more, with the addition of kroxigors ofcourse, since you can get them together. A stegadon would be nice 2. When handeling enemy missle fire, take a look at the terradons.

Ofcourse a slann cant go without some priests, so those might be good for you 2.

I'm sure people who play a cavalry force will have that many, maybe even more.

i have the same planned as you do. the battalion is the best value. the saurus warriors come pakc of 16, so don't need to pay unuse stuff and u can use that money to buy satti or skinks and kigros.
