1500 and 2250 lists (using the new rules!)

[Walrus Man]

I thought I'd try my hand at writing a list with the new armybook. Unfortunately its kinda limited by whats in my collection so I don't have much freedom. But I digress, read if you want and if you see a cheesy, powerful combo or anything feel free to use it yourself and point it out to me, cause I will have missed it.

1500 List -

I would change your characters, you wont get the Charm of the Jaguar off with so little magic, plus he has 2 Enchanted Items.

If you want a fast hunter go for;

Scar Vet; Cold One, Bane Head, Enchanted Shield, Light Armour, Burning Blade.

He makes a great character hunter, is hard to kill and can even take down regenerating and highly armoured targets.

OR if you want a Scar Vet to anchor your lines go with;

Scar Vet; Hide of the Cold Ones, Great Wep.

He gives you T6 with a 3+ Save and 4 S7 attacks. Plus making your unit immune to fear.

Maybe even make him the BSB as he causes Fear anyway so you wont really need that totem.

The Priest isnt going to get any magic off, make him Lvl1 with the Diadem and a Scroll for a healthy 5 Dispel + Scroll.

The rest of the list is fine although I would drop the Braves and give the Sauros Spears putting them in ranks of 6 so 18 is the best size for a unit. If you dont have Spear models, keep them in ranks of 5 like you have them.

2250 List -

Your Oldblood has too many points on Items so you will have to drop that Aura of Quetzl for the Glyph Necklace, the rest of the characters, see above.

Heres the new and improved lists, taking in the advice. Looking at the new Jag Charm rules, I'm kinda glad that every single lizardmen army isn't gonna have the same Nike-Vet configuration. Sure it worked, but it sure got boring.
Again I digress. On to the lists!

Unless I'm mistaken, the oldblood can take 100 points of magic items. Blade of tzunki's 65 and aura of quetzl's 30, so thats not over the limit unless I've made a mistake somewhere.

[Arguleon Veq]

The Aura is 40 in my book, although I got mine Pre Order so maybe it is a misprint?
The Glyph Necklace is better anyway though.

Why is it that you want that totem of Prophecy?

Is it to help you get the charge by making the enemy fail a fear test? or to make you immune to fear?

Or is it for the autobreaking if you beat enemy units?.

If its not really for the latter, you may as well drop it and give your BSB the Hide and a Great Weapon. As he is he is pretty vulnerable to getting killed, plus the Hide still gives you the benefit of the first 2 things I mention above. He is then hitting as hard as your combat Scar Vet whilst still being your BSB.

Then you could opt for a proper combat build on a Scar Vet.

If you dont though the list is still fine as it is although unless you play in a very magic light scene, that extra level on your priest is pretty useless.

[Walrus Man]

Wait, I just read over my army book again and aura of quetzl IS 40 points. My bad. ah ell, thats what the edit buttons for, I'll change it to glyph necklace.

Well I changed the BSB to have haunchi's blessed totem to free up points elsewhere, it sounds good on paper but is it worth it? Also, I didn't think BSB's could carry extra weapons, shields etc?

If you dont though the list is still fine as it is although unless you play in a very magic light scene, that extra level on your priest is pretty useless.

Yeah, most of my opponents are pretty magic light. But if not, the extra level gives me an extra dispel dice, and the extra power dice can be converted to dispel dice on my next turn with the diadem of power. So yeah, I think the 2nd level is justified.

[Arguleon Veq]

Yes that extra level is worth it, I didnt realise it was only your own dice you could convert, i thought you could use the power pool too.

Battle Standard Bearers can have anything now, all the newer books allow this.

[Walrus Man]

Awesome, then its as simple as dropping the terradon brave and adding a shield and halberd. ;D I'll just edit the list...
