Need help, lizardmen as CA 40k army?

[Brother Razhiel]

Hey all,

Basically I've 'fell in love' with the Lizardmen model range, BUT me and my mate only play 40k (He has Space Marines).
My question is, what race of 40k fits the Lizardmen most rules wise? I won't be playing any tournaments and only friendly games, so Count As stuff wont be much of a problem.

I came up with
-Tau, make a list which has almost exclusively Kroot and use the Lizardmen as Count As..
-Chaos Daemons (?)
-(Feral) Orks?
-Tyranids

The problem with Tau would be that Kroot are horrible (except as kamikaze units) and while I don't want to play tourney's, I do want to be able to put up a fight.
Wise people of LO, please help me.

New idea opted by my genius friend:
Just start LM as second army! XD. So I'm doing that now.

Sorry for a useless thread Ladies and non-ladies!

Hey there, you are not alone
This weekend, I also found love in Lizardmen kin, but I only play 40k. I have no idea how Warhammer Fantasy works, so I'm just looking for ideas how to adapt Lizardmen to my play style. I'm an Ork player, so I hope to find here some cool ideas to brew a new gameplay. Cheers!

I don't play fantasy so I may not know what I'm talking about but here goes nothing. Have you tried kitbashing lizardmen and orks together, like putting orc arms on lizardmen bodies? Make a feral orc army and use the cold ones as bikes, a stegadon as a truk and I'm sure the carnosaur can be used for something like a dred

chaos daemons would be the easiest as daemons can look like anything and be armed with whatever cuz they are all warp fuelled illusions anyway, khorne would be a good bet for the saurus as thier blades are all serrated and nasty looking, slaanesh for skinks (people like to forget that slaanesh is sleek and speedy not only 6 boobed crab people) , the slaans penchant for sorcery fits tzeentch to a T and thier is a nice range of undead lizardmen zombie's in mordheim that would work great for nurgle.

I saw an absolutely excellent Alpha Legion army done up with Lizardmen bits do show Mutations. It was brilliant with the Hydra Theme.

Found it! This guy is from my area here in Philly. His army is the 10th picture down. It looks even more amazing in person.
