8th Ed. New player to Lizardmen needs reccomendations

[mickmoon]

HI!

I just started playing Warhammer and I am currently building a few armies, the following list is what I have for Lizardmen and I was hoping some reccomendations for additions to the army;

Slann
Krogar on a carnosaur - guess I can use him as a scar vet as well
32 Saurus with spear/shield , FC
16 Sauras Rider , FC
18 skinks blowpipe
29 skinks ahw
1 Kroxigor
4 terradon rider
1 Stegadon with a Priest/crew and bolt thrower
20 Temple guard

That is a good bunch of Lizardmen to start. You may want to consider adding some salamanders and a few more Kroxigor. Then look at some Skink Priests and Saurus heros. When looking at the Saurus heroes, definitely look at some Cold One Riders so that you can make some Saurus Cowboys. And maybe even add a bastilodon. I do not have one of those, but some of our fellow Lustrians really like them.

As @kblock says, a great start.

Defintiely need more Kroxigor - They have a min unit size of 3 if used as Krox only, but from what I've read, the more the merrier! I've used 6 previously, but have read on this site of players using units of 8 or multiple units of 6.

Definitely skink priests. They can be used by the slann to effiectively add range to some of his spells (magic missiles and direct damage I think - don't have book wth me). Arcane Vassal (? spelling) is the rule I think.

People rave about Salamanders, but in my limited experience with them, I've not done so well. I'm putting that down to inexperience and will keep trying with them.

Personally I like the Bastiladon. chuck a dice or two at the bound spell and your oppo has the choice of either taking damage or 'wasting' dispel dice leaving you open to cast a bigger spell from the slann or priest.
