    Lizardmen 2250 Points Army - For 5th Edition!

    Fantasy Army: Lizardmen
    Ok guys I need help! I'm playing in a WHFB tournament in a couple of days but instead of running 8th edition, we are running 5th edition. So I've got all my army list prepared and I was wondering if you could comment on it?

    Slann Mage-Priest Champion - 515 point
    - BSB (Banner of Wrath) (cast D6 bolts on models within 24", Strength 4 hit, no Save)
    - Spelleater Shield (Dispels on 3+, destroys spell)
    - Dispel Scroll
    - Rod of Power (stores up to 3 Power cards, lose cards if D6 less then # of cards)

    Saurus Hero - 183
    Blade of Leaping Gold (+3 A)
    Armour of Meteroic Iran (2+ Save)
    Shield

    20 Temple Guard with Shield - 380
    20 Saurus - 300
    20 Saurus - 300
    10 Skinks with Short Bow/Poison - 65
    10 Skinks with Short Bow/Poison - 65
    4 Kroxigor - 180
    Stegadon with Giant Bow - 245

    The total comes down to around 2233 and the total for the tournament is 2250. Any areas do you think I'll need help in? I was thinking of removing the Kroxigors adding another Skink unit with Poisoned Short Bows and a Saurus Champion with Obsidion Blade (No Armour saves at all) as an extra punch against armies.

    I don't remember very much about 5th, except for some of the insane magic items. I recommend the Forbidden Rod (cast with IF once per turn, take a wound on 4+) and Amber Amulet (regen a wound every turn) for the Slann. I also recommend the Hydra Blade (each hit turns into d6 hits) on the Saurus. I'm pretty sure you can Google "broken magic item combos for 5th edition" and get some more.

    Other than that, I don't really have much advice. You might want to swap some saurus for another unit or two of skinks. You get VPs for table quarters in this edition, so you can use skinks to grab extra points at the end of the game. Plus, it's pretty important for you to get the charge; skinks can help you do that.

    Was it 5th or 6th edition where salamanders caused the artillery dice worth of S3 hits? They might be worth taking (again, not sure).

    And if looking for a great lizardman lists, didnt Alessio Cavatore write a very beardy LM list in his super beard competition in an old WD?
