8th Ed. What is the best 1000point list

[Carnosaur Nr1]

If you make a lizardmen list what work best agianst every army with only 1000 points?
This list dont have to beat every army

 

[Shadoer]

At 1000pts? Well I guess I'd use something like this

Lord

Saurus Old Blood
==============
Cold One
Enchanted Shield
Spear
Light Armor

Note: Heavy hitter, heavily armored, and will make a great general

Hero

Scar Vet BSB
=============
BSB
Light Armor
Dragon Helm
Iron Curse

Skink Priest
============
Level 1 - Lore of Beasts
Dispel Scroll

Core

20 Saurus Warriors

Special

5 Saurus Cavalry with full command

Note: In larger games I'd say leave them, but in a 1000pt game like this they'll become much more useful. Plus they'll make an excellent home for your Old Blood

Bastilidon with Solar Engine

Note: Here is where I think a Bastilidon would come in handy. Without the demands of a Slann or a Skink Priest draining your power dice, suddenly the Bastilidon becomes way more useful. Now that bound spell is worth something and he's worth the points to bring into a small game like this.

 

[Madrck]

I'd say
ColdenOldie
Old Blood, cold one Fencers blade, glittering scales, Dragonbane gem, Other tricksters shard.
125ss and that'll do as Almost nothing can kill him
Tetto'ekko
35 Skinks 3 krox. Muso and standard
Sallies with extra snack
And a blasterdon.

Has an unbeatable cowboy with a loremaster, free vanguard on move 6 skrox(possibly your whole army), elf speed skinks and sallies always do work.

I see both of you like the Bastilidon but what do you guys feel on adding a stegadon to the list?

In a 1000 pt game, I'd leave it. However if this is a starting point for a bigger army, I'd keep it.

Units like Bastilidons and Saurus Cavalry become less and less useful as the army grows in points. Something like a Stegadon with Sharpened Horns is invaluable at 2500pts, but in 1000pts its more of a liability.

you choose between a magic banner or magic items up to 50 points so you can make him a BSB and take magic item
