Title: Break point for Lizardmen
Post by: industrialtrousers on March 04, 2020, 06:57:36 AM: Howdy

What would be an acceptable breakpoint in a Lizardmen army?

I've run through the army selector a few times and seem to come back with 10 which seems a bit low.

Models I have below. I have seen the Carnosaur suggested as a good option but not sure what I would drop to include it.

Slann
2 Skink heroes
2 Shaman
5 Skin's
2 Salamanders
5 Saurus
1 TGuard
2 Kroxigors
2 Terradon

Does that seem like a sound list?

I have an old chaos hound which looks suitably scaled to stand in for a stegadon which could prove a fun conversion project and will probably buy a GW or Eureka version as well just to paint. Probably only use them for large games if I ever play any.

Post by: industrialtrousers on March 12, 2020, 11:20:19 PM: Yes, I might have to get a couple more units while they're still at Pendraken prices. I think I may have missed the Stegadon there but I'm headed over to NZ later this year so I might get a few bits set to the folks.

The chaos hound looks perfectly acceptable so I'll finish that off next week. There's a photo in the modelling thread.
