AoS Old fantasy player, AoS Army info

[exwhyzero]

Hey all, Hope this is in the right place,

I used to play Lizardmen back when they were still lizardmen and have recently decided to dust them off and give them a refresh. I havent had a chance to look at the AoS rules yet or the seraphon book, So in basic, what would be an average sized army and what sort of minis would I look to include from my collection (about 4k of WFB minis).

Dont need detail, just average units and size just so i know what to start re-painting before i can get to a store =]

hope this makes sense.

cheers =]

Welcome to Lustria.

2000 points is the standard army size. Most Seraphon units are playable. Saurus Guard are the only units that I wouldn't spam. Generally you want to either focus on Skinks or Saurus. However, a mixture can work well in Thunderlizards or Dracothion's tail though.

If you go a Skink build you can expect about 120-160 models. If you focus on Saurus then anticipate around 60-120 modles. You can also build behemoth dinosaur list with 6-20 models.

• Saurus Warriors come in units of 10-40
• Saurus Knights come in units of 5-20
• Saurus Guard come in units of 5-30
• Skinks come in units of 10-40
• Terradon/Ripperdactyls come in units of 3-12
• Kroxigot come in units of 3-12
• Chameleon Skinks come in units of 5-20
• Razordon/Salamander Hunting Packs come in units of 4-12 (3 handlers per one Razdon/Salamander)
• The rest of the units are single model Bemeoths or heroes.

Cheers for the response, ironically it still says im a new user because i dont post much, been here since 2012

By the sounds of it an army would be similar to how I used to play anyway. Are slann still viable?
( I used to run 3x 30 saurus units, 1 x Temple guard unit with slann, then some knights and heroes and a few random bits) I assume this sort of list would still work then?

 

[LizardWizard]

Slann are very viable. Kroak is the better option though.

Also, heroes no longer attache to units. However, Saurus Guard can soak damage for Slann/Kroak if they are near by. Magic is radically changed, but still very strong.
