Hello guys

I am pretty new to the realm of Lustria, i traded my HE for a mates LM.
I'm trying to get ready for a tournament late july, my friend didn't have time to get my into lists and stuff, but he used to go with a big monster list.
I hope guys have some interesting ideas
Here's the guys.

2 slaan
6 priests
1 saurus vet
1 homemade bsb pon cold one
3 stegadons
8 cold one cavalry
58 saurus warriors (hw and shield)
26 saurus warriors (spear and shield)
5 skinks w blowpipes
1 terradon ( metal)
1 salamandar (3 handlers)
20 Skinks
1 Kroxigar

I hope here is some stuff to work with.
The event is without special chars, but I have time to get out and get some oldblood or scar-vets if needed

Hope you can help me

Welcome to the Jungle, as you know we have enjoyment and frivolities.

It looks at this point you can get pretty much anything together with a couple additions. But first a few questions.
1)What is the points limit you are looking at?
2)Which models/units of the lizardman army do you really like the look and fluff of?
and 3)What is your favoured playstyle?

i probably should have put points on, its 2500 points.. i really like dinosaurs, so anything big, that hit hard, i thought about getting some flying chiefs, and a big bunch of Temple Gardens, with something who can pack a punch, and ofc some magic, a few skinks skirmishes

Temple Gardens

I know the Slann made lustria's plantlife more dangerous, but I did not know you could take it in the game.

If you really want the big dinosaurs: Get a Carnosaur.

Depending on how much magic you want (mage wise), you could take one more bastiladon and a stegadon with EOTG, to pump out some bound spells.

Terradons could also be good (or so I have heard) at hunting warmachines.

CHAMELEONS! Especially if you want those big monsters.

As a sidenote: Maybe the Troglodon could work for you. With all those saurus and "Temple Gardens", you might be able to benefit from that primeval roar that one turn where you need to win combat. But this is probably not the best advice, cause: Troglodon

Oh. I got so focused on trying to give good advice (or rather I hope it is good advice), that I forgot to welcome you, sooo......

Welcome to the forum, I hope you will have a great time getting advice and inspiration from all the great peop.. I mean Lizards, that also inhabit this Lustria in cyberspace.

hahaha good one, my fault, playing magic the gathering using temple gardens.. I'm broken
Thank you for your nice welcome
It would be very cool to do an all bigish army, but do you think it would work, or will i get shot down, before i get anything done?

Well I'm not a tournament player, but I definetely think it can work, but it might take some practice.

You could look a some tacticas on the forum to get an idea of exactly what it is you want to do. say like, a monstermash with Stegadons, or Carnosaurs.
Do you want your saurus to be supported a lot by your monsters, then you might want beastiladons, EOTG or maybe even Troglodons.

I would definately say though, that is you want monsters, take a bunch of them, that will probably be more effective than just taking one. A double Stegadon charge for example, no one would want those impact hits, and if its infantry 2D6 thunderstomps is a lot.

Maybe try looking at this:

At the end, most things can works, how effective it will be, depends on what else you have in the army.
