What do you guys think?

This is just from my experiences playing with them, but I'd change just a few things:

First, unmount your Scar-Vet: give him a great weapon. The S7 attacks are brutal.

Second; dump the musician and champ in your Saurus block. The champ is too expensive for one attack, plus you're going to dump your Scar-Vet in that block anyways. Musicians, IMO, aren't worth the points for that unit either.

Three; dump the block of skinks and add another block of Saurus. It's really cool to field the Kroxigors w/ the Skinks, but it's a crime to not include more than one block of Saurus. They're one of the hardest core units in Fantasy.

Four; I'm a bit confused by the inclusion of the additional Kroxigors. If you're looking for a tarpit unit, I think using a stegadon would work better. With that being said, I think you could replace that with another block of Saurus. They're that pimp.

Five; the carnosaur oldblood looks great, but he seems lonely. While expensive, I really believe the Saurus Cold One Riders are worth their points, particularly if you have a mounted hero that you can embed in the unit. I'm also not sold on the Blade of Realitites, only because I've yet to use it in the game. I think I'd rather go with additional strength with the Blade of Revered Tzunki or +2 attacks with Scimitar of the Sun Resplendent.

Anyways, the list looks really fun, but I just think it needs a bit more beef. You'd use the 2 blocks of Saurus and the Cold Ones I propose to draw the enemy while using the skinks, terradons, and salamanders to pick them apart while you wait to maul the opponent in melee.

i will definitely take these into consideration....after i get more money to buy models. this army broke my wallet!

The nice thing about Lizardmen is you can 100% field a tough army in all plastic, too.

true true, but even that, ima wait a little while but definitely want a stegadon + cold one calvary next. Ill prob grab one of everything eventually lol.

as for blade of realities,

imagine it being used to take down hydras/other non-dragon monsters. most of these have relatively low leadership. one failed ld and its gone!

in my mind its extremely overpowered in some situations.

my second setup with him would be scimitar + +1 attack shield for 9 attacks total when the mount goes frenzied and causes a wound but i will try that if the blade sucks

i love the name though - blade of realities

With all monsters running about it really is a need item.
Sure it will be overkill vs Skaven and brilliant versus Ogres, but killing Hydras, Fleshounds, Stegadons, Giants, Varghulf, etc is where its at..

Ah ha! Killing monstrous creatures is the use. I hadn't even thought of that. Duh!

and you never know, you might even get lucky vs that dark elf dreadlord with pendant of invulnerability. rolled double sixes for ld test? sorry buddy take him off the board please!
