8th Ed. New to WHFB (1000)

[dholland]

I used to be into WH40K years ago, but I'm new to WHFB. I've always liked Lizardmen, so I've made a list out of units that I like the fluff (Saurus, Kroxigors, and Salamanders). However, from what I've read, Skinks are priceless so I've added two units them.

Hero- 130

Scar-Vet- 130
-Venom of the Firefly Frog
-Enchanted Shield
-Dawn Stone
-Light Armor
**Goes in Saurus unit, is this a decent build for this size game?
.....................................................................................................
Core- 659

Saurus(19)- 228
-Spears

Skinks(24+3)- 291
-3 Kroxigors
-24 Skinks
-Musician
**I figured the Kroxigors needed the shooting buffer from the Skinks.

Skinks Skirmishers(10)- 70
Skinks Skirmishers(10)- 70
.....................................................................................................
Special- 60

Chameleon Skinks(5)- 60
**Hunt warmachines
.....................................................................................................
Rare- 150

Salamanders(2)- 150
**Flank for Saurus
.....................................................................................................
Total- 999

I've never been focused on winning so long as its a fun match, so it doesn't need to be "perfect", but I don't want to be slaughtered every game. Any advice for a new player in regards to the list?

good first list

since you've got the chameleons i'd drop one of the skink skirmishers units to take more saurus warriors (with hand weapon and shield) or skinks for your skrox. Also remember that skrox are very good against high armoured or high toughness targets and useless vs the others. i like your scar vet, just be careful against enemies with strenght 5 or more
