Lizardmen

[Cyric the Mad]

Off in another thread I read about Stegadons becoming available as mounts for characters. How cool would that be?

Also, do you guys suppose the LM cold ones will be updated a la Dark Elf cold ones?

Seeing as they're due for january of 2009, that works well for me since my birthday is in that month.

As for Saurus, I'd say this is the ideal basic stat line that I feel Saurus Warriors should get:

M-WS-BS--S--T--W--I--A--Ld
4---4---0---4--4--1--1--2---8
Cost: 9-10pts/model

It feels only fair, since Saurus were made entirely for warfare. You think they'd just use massed hordes of Skinks to win battles whereas you need more than skirmish parties to get things done? It does say in the current Lizardmen book that each Temple City, those that are still standing, has an army of Saurus prepared to do battle if their lands are threatened. Let's be honest; these guys were always prepared if conflict were to occur, and boy do they ever do their job.


As for everything else, sounds like some (if not all) of the expensive stuff is going to be noticeably cheaper. The rumour about more units able to take Spawnings is certainly a bigger bonus (I can just see it: Blitzkrieging Kroxigors with 3+ saves!).

I think there are lots of rumours floating around of the skinks, such as ranked skinks horned one riders, and a skink horned one rider hero

You can look at it two ways. One, they made a species that was big and bad and could kill anything, but cost a lot to make. Or two, they made a species small with lots of attacks that can just overwhelm an opponent and was cheap to make.

I think the current stat lines for saurus but making them 9-10 points is a great idea, but give them more options, like great weapons.

Yeah, definiately not happy with the new Kroxigor. If I decide to play Lizardmen, I'll be grabbing the old ones, thanks.

The lower of your suggested points values is the same as the cost of a Dwarf with heavy armour and shield. However, the Saurus would has M4, A2 and S4 to the dwarfs M3, A1 and S3. Don't forget cold blooded (which is better then the Dwarfen LD9). The only thing the Dwarf would have over the Saurus is one points in armour.

This statline would be better priced at 11-12 points (probably 11 considering a dryad is 12 and has numerous advantages over the Saurus).

my goodness i thought it looked awsome. I guess its an opinion thing though.

[sirkently]

I think the old ones look better also.

Agreed. The head looks a little too...blockish, perhaps. The body, however, looks good, in my opinion. It looks more muscular and massive than the current Kroxies, whom I always thought looked too long in the torso and too short in the leg.
