So the Idea is just mass skinks for poisons (chameleons too?) and Kroxigors to handle the fast and/or heavy stuff? I just started looking in the book and it seems to me that something with alot of cavalry and armour save could make some fine boots out of that army if you go pure skinks/slanns/krox. Maybe Im underestimating the potency of their magic phase?

See this is not bad. I can fight blocks and life magic. But mass poison and deathsnipes just suck
That's an interesting divergence from what I had seen Lizardmen field before, but it's probably because the only guy who played Lizards in this area moved away. Thanks for the list, Johnny.
@najo: Yeah, that would do a lot of good, and it's not much to ask.

Banehead,BSB Ethereal and the Extra powerdice go on the death Slaan and I think Loremaster extradice and general go on the Metal Slaan
On the scars it is the normal UK builds

Follow Tom Richards on youtube. Also listen to podcasts and such about the various UK and US tournaments.
Its his only army these days. But he talks about the UK tournament scene alot and is my personal Warhammer hero.

Dear Johnny,
Love the videos!.. I have a question for you sir. If a purple sun or pit of shades(etc) hits an arch lector on a war altar, or a ghoul king on terrorgheist, how is that resolved? Is there a definitive answer? (if not how do you play it?) My research on the internet has proved futile, and I see arguments from both sides. The concern is how many tests to take and whose stats to use?
TY
P.S. Oh yes another question, I have heard on some podcasts n such recently that there was a change in the wording of either unmodified leadership or with death snipes that are now allowing modifiers(like doom n darkness and IP? Is that true?

Per riden monster rules templates hits both rider and mount but for tests the higher stat is always used

Both at the highest stat and here is a breakdown of why
Per the ridden mosnter rule a template attack hits both rider and mount
Per the characteristic test the MODEL uses the highest stat it has available.
Because both the rider and the monster are only model you will take two tests but use the highest stat

Dear Johnny,
I have some rules confusion. Go me! When using Death magic (spirit leech, lniph, bjuna) targeting a character riding a monster, how do I resolve hits? Is it the same as shooting? 1-4 hits monster, 5-6 hit character. Or do I choose who gets hit? I'm asking because it states MODEL and they count as one model. Just confused because its a character.
^^^ I was also about to ask the same question as kevin.hopkins7 but it was already conveniently answered
Thanks!

I wanted to add this list to the lizardmen discussion. A block of saurus is not an uncommon sight in competitive lists. Both mounted scar vets join the unit which pushes the metal slann to the send rank.
Chammies are a huge part of the list. With a decent BS skill and the ability to march and shoot (and the fact that warmachines can now be hurt by poison), two ten model units can eliminate cannons and the like very early on.
Jungle swarms serve as cheap redirectors and dummy drops. I always liked them in the current book despite what most players said about them.
I can't take credit for this army. It was used by a top local player at a big event a month or ago give or take. I posted this a couple months back elsewhere on the forum.
