Hi sorry if this sort of post is old hat but I was hoping to get some advice on building a Lizardmen army before spending the cash on fleshing it out. I picked up 40k a year ago and built an Eldar army but I find myself lately wanting to try out Fantasy. At the same time I bought some lizardmen models but never did much with them. As it stands I have the following:
-1 battalion box
-1 slann
-1 steg kit
-1 scar-vet
-2 skink priests
-2 salamanders
I'm thinking that if I pick up another battalion box I could put a solid 2k list together to jump into the game head first. Though I would like to build a Skrox unit, but I want to wait until finecast catches up to the krox models. Anyway the list I've been thinking about is the following:
Lord:
Slann - cupped hands, divine plaque, focus of mystery, the becalming cogitation, the focused rumination, lore of life, BsB, general.
Hero:
Scar-Vet - burning blade of chotec, enchanted shield, light armour
Core:
20 Saurus warriors - musician, standard bearer
20 Saurus warriors - spears, spawning champion, musician, standard bearer
(2) 10 skink skirmishers
Special:
20 Temple Guard - musician, standard bearer, magic banner
1 Stegadon
Rare:
2 Salamanders with 8 handlers
Total Points: 1994
As it stands I have assembled 20 suarus wariors with spears. The general plan is just advance up the center. I plan to attach the scar-vet to the saurus block with swords and shields. I want to field them 7 models wide in three ranks. Behind them the temple guard and slann. To one side 20 saurus (5x4) with spears and to the other side the steg. On each flank a salamander. The skinks I envision will act as a speed bump/vanguard located in front of my sword and shield saurus.
Is this build viable to learn the game with? Also, I was wondering if I should look at a different/cost effective way to bring my army up to 2k? Thanks in advance for any critiques you guys and gals might have.
