8th Ed. New 1000 Point Army

[matt-auton]

I am soon to be having a 1000 point battle with a friend with his dwarf army, I would just like feedback on anyone or anything any of you would change as I have never battled with Lizardmen before. Overall its 998 points
My 1000 point Lizardmen Army is as follows:

Hero:
Saurus Scar Veteran (Overall 143 points)
with Light Armour and Shield, Burning Blade of Chotec and The Maiming Shield.

Skink Priest (Overall 140 points)
with Level 2, Plaque of Tepok and 1 Dispel Scroll.

Core Units
17 Saurus Warriors (Overall 222 points)
with Full Command and row of Spears.

10 Skink Skirmishers (Overall 86 points)
with Javelin and Shield and Brave

11 Skink Skirmishers (Overall 77 points)
with Blowpipes

Special Units
8 Saurus Cavalry (Overall 330 points)
with Full Command.

Any tips etc would be greatly appreciated.

So I gues your still using the 7th edition army book.
Oh and Don't list the unit point totals it makes GW mad.

but overall the list looks ok.

Yeah still using 7th edition book, because it was only £4.20 on ebay, until i save up for the new book.
But glad to hear it looks okay, when we eventually progress past 1000 point ive got 10 temple guard, an extra 3 skinks, 7 saurus, slann mage.

What is your stance on taking jungle swarms? because i think they would be great for a screen of an army then take the brunt of the shots from the dwarfs?

 

[n810]

Swarms are ok in 8th but where terrible in 7th.

you are better off using skinks as a screen.

Okay thanks

What about terradons? because i know he will be taking organ gun, cannons etc basically things that shoot so he doesn't have to go hand to hand with the Lizardmen.

 

[n810]

Man Dwarves are a tough oponent for us,
Definately stay away from the organ gun,
and try and take out the cannons with your
Terradons and skinks. (don't forget about droping rocks)
And your skink priest might have a decent anti-shooting spell if your lucky.
