8th Ed. Light Slann cookie-cutter 2500 list

[Dunya]

Hi,

I've been experimenting with the Lizardmen for a while, trying to find a style that works for me. Mostly I've been running a core fairly heavy on Skink Skirmishers, but I'm finding that having no scouts or vanguards is a bit too slow for my tastes.

6 Chameleons

6 Chameleons
3 Terradons - Fireleech Bolas

Total points: 2500

So this is about as standard and balanced of a list I can think up. A potential tweek could be to go with a couple of units of Rippers and cut in to the Chamos and Terradons, which makes the army a bit more aggresive but less flexible. I do think Terradons are overpriced currently, but they still offer great utility in my experience.

Tell me what you think.

Seems prety typical,
except for the Special selection...
that a bit unusual, but no reasion why it shouldn't work.

dont forget the extra snacks for the sallies

Thanks for the replies, the special section is basically the same as the one I used to run in the old army book, only its a bit more expensive now.

Never really been that adament about the extra handler for salamanders, tend to be a point filler if I'm 5 points short etc..

I'm finding that getting enough banners for Blood and Glory is a bit tricky in saurus based armies, though the initial list addresses that I've come up with an alternative that I think has a bit more muscle while retaining 3 banners.

Cut a level on the Skink Priest to fit everything in, but I figure thats acceptable, though I might be wrong. The 2 Ancients would fill a support role in the chaff battle since I'm a bit weak in that department.
