Lizardmen Units and Tactics

[ApokalypseTest]

Ballista, Spearmen stand and shoot.

Marcus, the army you propose is close to the one that I told you about the other night.

Mine is:

3 ancients
2 trog spearmen
2 swarmling warriors

1995 points.


I don't have as many units in mine, but the trog spearmen pack a little more punch than swarmling warriors.


My favorite 2000 point army for the lizzies is:


3 raptor pack
3 trog warriors
1 swarmling warriors
1 triceratops herd

1987 points.

All are very tough, but I like Marcus' 5" MC. I call it the SS.

V. the DE speed is essential.

My Orc solution is this:

2 Trolls
4 Crazed Goblins
3 Orc Swordsmen
1 Goblin Raiders.

Oh wait, that's a different thread.

[RushAss]

How about 13 Goblin Raiders and 1 Crazed Goblin?

In all seriousness, how about a Big guys and little guys army?

Little Guys
4 x Swarmling Warriors
2 x Hatchlings

Big Guys
Ancients
Trike Herd
T-Rex
1984 points

And again everybody is fast except for the Herd which will catch up soon

Little Guys
4 x Swarmling Warriors
2 x Hatchlings

Big Guys
Ancients
Trike Herd
T-Rex
1984 points

Good build. I would definitely be more afraid of this army than the 3 Ancients version.

I am very sad that YMG missed an opportunity to include an excellent unit in this faction.

Giant Turtle
Attack (4) 4/6 Defense 1/4 M-2.5 C-12
5G/4Y/3R
Large, Fearsome

Just a good old fashioned mid-priced tank unit in the mold of Undead Zombie Trolls.

OK, so it's not the greatest thing at it really doesn't fit in with the faster Lizardmen faction.  I wonder if we can find a place in BG for a cute, giant turtle?  I mean, come on!  It's a giant freaking turtle!  Chad, give me a points cost for this fella!

My Naga Vikings faction has turtles, Rush .

[gull2112]

A turtle is an amphibian, not a lizard. Save the Giant turtle for the frogmen faction. Make that faction cool and different from WHFB. I think Ral Partha had a turtle with a ballista on its back, which, IMHO would be freakin' awesome!

Now I'm going to check out those Naga vikings, perhaps they will obviate this comment.

Okay, I just checked it out, and it is totally cool, and has my vote for next faction for serious development consideration. 

Well, as soon as they mount a ballista on the back of the Turtle.

There could be an "expansion deck" in the future. It could add a few new unit cards for each army.

I proposed the very thing back in '09 but also suggested that the Command Card decks get an extra 10 cards to cater for 4,000pt+ armies.  I'm not hopeful.

A turtle is an amphibian, not a lizard.

Dude, turtles are reptiles!

[gornhorror]

I think you should make the picture on the card look like the sea turtles in "Finding Nemo"....Yeah...duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude, turtles are reptiles!

In the hierarchy of the reptile world Amphibians find it offensive to be referred to as "lizards." They ask that you please refrain from the epitaph.

[BubblePig]

I think you mean epithet.

[gull2112]

It looked wrong, but I was too tired to figure out why. I knew there was a right way to spell it!
