Taking a break at work and thought I would post some thoughts on how I want my lizardmen to look at 2000 points. Last night I was putting skinks together and getting ready to paint up my next batch of units when I realized I should probably get an end game plan going for my army. So I came up with this list today, keeping in mind what models I own:
Slann - Cupped Hands, Standard of Discipline, Focus of Mystery, The Becalming, The Focused Rumination, BSB
Scar-Vet - Light Armour, Shield, Venom of the Fire Fly Frog
27 Saurus Warriors - Full Command, Spears
2 x 10 Skink Skirmishers
5 Chameleon Skinks
20 Temple Guard - Musician, Banner, Banner of Eternal Flame
10 Cold One Cavalry - Gleaming Pennant
2 Salamanders
2000 Points
My big problem is that I want to build this unit:
I want to build a fun army but I don't want it to get rolled over consistently. I posted the list up on Lustria-Online so I'm hoping I get some feed back. Anyway I should get back to work.
That looks like a cool army, I'd consider putting a scar-vet in the cold-one unit and maybe even giving them the razor banner (gotta love an additional -1 armor save penalty) or the extra d6 on the charge banner. This unit would be a great flanker for anything that engages your big blocks in the front.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, I have a bunch of the OOP LM models and I kind of like their look, they have a charm about them. What do you think about the following slaan in this ebay auction for the money?

And how about this for a scar vet or another slaan maybe?:

If you have a bunch of oop models I would definitely think about the old school slann. You could have a lot of fun painting that model.
Wow, those are really sweet looking, thanks for sharing that link! Looks like they have the new halbreds with the old models.
