We all know that Lizardmen are one of the VC hardest armies to beat. But that can change with some help (NOTE: I just copy/pastes this from the old site, so there will be some things that will be a little weird... like the beginning. But it IS why I joined all the Warhammer forums... to help people out with other armies):
This is exactly why I joined all the Warhammer forums. I am a 2 year Lizardmen player. And I just played VC.. a few weeks ago. Total masssacre :mrgreen:
Banshees ARE torture to Lizardmen. But beware! Against a magic Lizardmen army, they will most likely use the 'save the best spells for last, and target the banshee' trick. So when they target your other unit, let the spells go. But when they target the banshee, save it. A single banshee took out 2 key units to my plan in the battle (I still won.. but thats because I got in a double challenge with his Count/Lord thingy. He was in a unit, so my unit champion challenged his unit champion, and then my general challenged his general. I killed his general first round of challenge. Half the army crumbled to dust the next turn. It was all down hill from their for my opponent). But the one thing about Lizardmen that is tough for VC, cold-blooded LD 8 is most likely NOT going to fail fear tests. And if the Lizardmen take a carno, then YOU will be taking the fear tests. The Lizardmen player will most likely max out of kroxigors, cold one riders, and other fear/terror causing units. But that means a MAJOR points sink for the Lizardmen. Lots of skellies is the answer to that. Lizardmen's greatest weakness is combat res. They basically only win if they kill 2-3 more than you do. They usually only have 2 ranks. Skellies usually have 3. And zombies... they would actually help vs Lizardmen. The more units you have, the better (which is why Lizardmen HATE Skaven. If you play Skaven and VC, then the best answer to Lizardmen is using your Skaven).
I will have more coming soon... I hope.
