Lizardmen of Tzeentch: ToXG

Wow, this army should be incredible!  The fluff is very well written and it sounds like you've got a solid plan to carry the fluff through the completion of the army.  I love lizardmen, they were my first warhammer army and they are such a great force.  I know you're aiming for fluff but I tend to find chameleon skinks and skink heroes not worth very much in game terms, just throwing that out there.  Looks like you've got a ton of models so you must have a high points list in mind, can't wait to see it and hopefully some more models shortly after   By the way that slann conversion is just plain righteous!

Well, this is AWESOME stuff, the fluff was brilliantly written, and I cnt wait to see more! keep it up

cheers
DA

Absolutely fantastic!

Tzeentch seems very popular on this forum...is kinda of a virus?

BlughTheIronMaw:
Maybee I have not read good on this topic but which collours you gona paint this Tzeentch army.
it's not always Blue/yellow.
The idea of a LizardTzeentch army is cool and I wish ya good luck.

p.s. I have a Tzeentch Mortal army.

I really like the fluff, it's very good. I cant wait to see what else you have in mind

Thanks for the comments! I appreciate them all. As for Tzeentch and me, well, I have a HUGE Chaos army dedicated (or rather in the process of dedicating) to Khorne already. I'm not a huge fan of Slaanesh, and Nurgle is ok, but I figured the biggest shocker of a chaotic Lizardmen army would be if the followed Tzeentch. Khorne would be easy, heavy Saurus/Kroxigors army, lots of killing, Nurgle could be swampy, poisonous Skinks and whatnot. Slaanesh would be bizarre, all kinds of reptiles slithering everywhere touching their nipples...But Tzeentch just fit best I figured!

Here is my first list. I'm going to try my damndest to get it ready ASAP to start entering tournaments, I decided to try the Baltimore GT in October and I need to practice!

This list will go heavy on Skinks, to represent Tzeentch's weak Core of Horrors. The many poisoned shots will represent the Horror's magic ( a little anyway). The "Terradons" will be Skinks riding Screamers (Thanks Corai for your suggestion, you beat me to posting it!) and I will have many corrupted Salamanders to represent the Flamers. For leaders we have of course an uber Slann who will run alone (!). Because I feel its important to the theme that he dominate magically. Alternatively if he dies too fast all the time, I could argue that he goes into Temple Guard, which would represent a Chaos Lord's fighting skills somewhat.

The Chameleon Skinks are there to just be annoying, as the Kroxigor are there to deal chariots/heavy armor. I will try to model them more Chaos-like to fit in.

Comments welcome!!

I'd be tempted to suggest dropping the chameleons and splitting the krox into 2 untis of 3 so they can do double damage for you   You could possibly even make this 2 units of 4 on the points you save, or scout out some of the skink units so that they can be annoying instead.

I'd also consider making only scouting skinks have blowpipes and the others have sheild and javalins - they have done the maths over at the pyramid vault and I tend to agree with them.

Yeah I considered dropping Chameleons for Scout Skinks, but now I come up against the difficult decision to go with effective/fluff...Skinks with Blowpipes are the closest I can get to shooting Horrors, so staying with the theme is important. But I will give this some serious thought, thanks and keep it coming guys!

Just have them throw fire balls, or have a long range fire breath.
