I really like the new Lizardmen, although I feel they may be somewhat overpriced as of now, but we will see. The Skinks are insane with their movement shenanigans and now the famous Skrox unit actually works! Consider my 40 Skinks that hit 3+ in the shooting phase (2+ when the Skink Chief has used his command ability).... Then think about them in the combat phase: You want to charge them? Well fine... keep slaughtering Skinks while my 3 Kroxigors hit you with their Mauls. The Rippers will be a kamikaze unit that can surprise (and hopefully take down) monsters and heroes (due to their ambush rules from the Skink Patrol formation). Any suggestions? @najo

Skink Patrol:
40 Skinks with Boltspitters and Moonstone Clubs 400
10 Chameleon Skinks 190
1 Skink Priest in Priestly Trappings 67
3 Ripperdactyls 146

The Rest:
3 Kroxigors with Drakebite Mauls 201
1 Skink Chief with Ornate Club 50
Salamander with 2 handlers 71
Salamander with 2 handlers 71
Salamander with 2 handlers 71
Stegadon with Sunfire Throwers 233

Total: 1500

I know 8th ed well and I've been trying to keep abreast of Age of Sigmar developments in order to do my Mod duties on Lustria-Online, but I am mahrlect confused here.

I'd like to help but I do not understand what system you are using. Some sort of Frankenstein hybrid between 8th ed and Age of Sigmar with an extra dash of 40K.

 

[The Sun King]

@Scalenex Huh? The only hybrid going on is that there has been made a points system. Nothing 8th and nothing 40k.

Oops, missed the tag here somehow. Gotta admit, I still haven't played a single AoS battle. Beyond saying it's cool that the Skink/Krox mixed unit is back in business I'm afraid I can't be much help either.

 

[The Sun King]

YOU USELESS PIECE OF ... *deep breath* That is completely understandable @Adam_Barrow - It is A-Okay that you haven't played AoS. *sinks back into the darkness with bloodshot eyes*

 

[Adam_Barrow]

@The Sun King Ha! Would you believe me if I said I'm planning on spending my bonus from work next month to finish buying my Chaos Dwarf army? My priorities are obviously skewed poorly.

 

[The Sun King]

Heresy I say!

I wasn't aware there was a point system for Age of Sigmar. If you link me the points system you are using, I'm sure my scaly brethren would be very intersted in it.

In any I have (sadly?) yet to play an Age of Sigmar game. My local meta is either stubbornly holding on to 8th edition or fleeing to Kings of War (which not only has an excellent Undead army selection, they are beta testing a Lizardmen equivalent).

Based on what I've read from Lustria-Online's few AoS fans. Shooting is key, and Rippers are scary good. Also, Slann summoning is potent but I'm not sure if that would fit into 1500 points. You seem to be covering the LM's best units.

Since you have so many Skinks, I would suggest looking at Ixt's Tactica on Saurus formations. Presumably the same things that maximize Saurus pile-ins will work with 40 Skinks. Ixt is Lustria-Online's best Age of Sigmar tactician hands down.

@Scalenex ! Thanks for the advice, looks good!
