8th Ed. Returning Back to Warhammer 2000 pts Lizzies

[fatCobra]

Hello fellow worshipers of the Old Gods.

I played Warhammer Fantasy during the 6-7th edition using VC and TKs and quited to play World of Warcraft. However WoW has become boring to me now so i thought to my self might aswell play WF again during the summer. I have my eye on a lizardmen army coz the look fun to paint compare to undead and I am really into magic and I <3 the Slann model.

I haven't read the new 8th edition rules but i have the latest Lizardmen Army Book, so this list i am posting might have some violations that i am not aware of atm (do we still use the 25% character choices or fixed nuber depending on points e.g. 2000pts = 4 characters fixed). Can anyone help me with the Character Max Points Rule.

Here I go.

Characters: 713 points

Slann
+ 3 Disciplines (Mastery , Rumination, HS of Consciousness)
+ Cupped Hands
+ Bane Head

Skink Priest
+ Level 2
+ Dispell Scroll
+ Cloak of Feathers

Scar Vet
+ Piranha Blade
+ L. Armor & Shield

Core: 828

Saurus Wars * 25 + Spear + Full Command

Saurus Wars * 25 + Spear + Full Command

Skink Skirmishers * 12

Skink Skirmishers * 12

Special: 327

Camo Skinks * 6

Terradon * 3

Kroxigor * 3

Rare: 160

Salamander * 2 + extra skink

Now the total points is 2028 points still tweaking around for the final list but so far this is the army that i have in mind. Any advice would be appreciated.

Btw. Will 11 points over be allowed for a 2000 points army. 2011 points feels like a sign from the Old Gods for my new army this year

I like the second list. I would drop the Terradons and some saurus in favor for 20 temple guard. As far as the 11 points over goes, in a friendly game, you should be ok. I would not do that myself, but if your game club is ok with it, it's all good (also, 2 skink cohorts will bring that down to 1 point over).

How about the Max Character points do you know whats the rule. I know before the rule was 25% then it became a fixed number based on points. What is the Rule now in 8th edition?

now you can spend 25% on lords, 25% on heroes, 25% on rare, minimum 25% on core and up to 50% on special.
