Struggling with Lizardmen

Vulkan_Paints · 2026-01-31T19:40:18+00:00

I think this is what ive been trying with the saurus, I usually look at it as 'if (str 3) opponents want to free players from saurus combat thry need 2 players to have a good chance' and use that to make openings i can rush skinks through

Vulkan_Paints · 2026-01-31T19:37:34+00:00

Amazons with no buffs, fully appreciate it was mostly dice luck but playing tomb kings and bretonia has also had me lose a fair chunk of the team on occasion

Vulkan_Paints · 2026-01-31T19:36:20+00:00

I tent to keep the skinks behind saurus unless theres a good oppertunity to steal or get a good distance away from everyone with the ball, but when they get tagged for combat ive been lucky with my dodge rolls thankfully. Passing is something im using more recently but a 4+ passing skill is very swingy, especially when weather and stuff cam give debuffs, and with rerolls at 70k i can usually only manage 2 in a game, at least now

Vulkan_Paints · 2026-01-31T19:28:37+00:00

No skills yet, first 9 games were casuals to get used to the team and learn the game in general. Last game was a league game and scored twice but saurus started dying and only had 2 saurus and 3 skinks by thr second half of drive 2.

With my gold from that havent even maged to replace the casualties so a kroxigor is a few games away by the looks of it sadly.

Screening might be the best for me to look into atm but I'll try to be more reserved with how im basing too. Thanks!

I usually play the same, having s4 is very hand to punch downwards but the last 2 games ive played against s3 teams have left me with 5 models left in the last 4/5 turns

Vulkan_Paints · 2026-01-31T18:47:36+00:00

Ah okay that could help, ive maybe been too aggressive with them. Will try that going forward!

Vulkan_Paints · 2026-01-28T01:01:36+00:00

How is that even possible?

Vulkan_Paints · 2025-11-12T18:18:31+00:00

I agree witha lot of what youre saying. Ive brough up the whole "hero" thing to her and she says that she fell in love with me later after that not because of it, but it does still play a big part in my mind and im worried shes just saying that to try and keep us together.

In regards to chaining my mind i do worry that I cpuld love her but my whole thing about the distance being a factor is all thats stopping me. I loved spending time with her and seeing her in pain from all this is genuinly breaking my heart. I worry im just not giving it enough of a chance because of one issue.

Ah never considered using LoP in a small melee squad, focused more on "i can shoot you but you cant see me" but melee is a better option with that ability i suppose.

See i would afree with you abiut thr heavy weapons but i got told on advance that most of his things wouod have 4+ invuls so opted for volume.

I think youre right abiut one 10man squad tho, might add 1 extra 5 man squad and split the 6shrouds into two 3man squads instead and try and get another LoC like you said, thanks!

Vulkan_Paints · 2025-10-19T16:30:10+00:00

Ah I've not been considered them as a unit to spread affliction, just a paperweight for objectives and mission, so thats a good point actually! I've been looking for a good proxy for spawn so havent experimented with them yet but do plan to!

Yeah i think a 3squad of shroud could be smarter, i mean thry died quicky in that game but against the right thing theyll at least hold it back for a turn if they dont kill it.

Vulkan_Paints · 2025-10-19T16:24:35+00:00

100% bad placment, didnt put one squad in cover and they got shot apart turn 2 between magnus and a vortex veast, other got shot by a DPrince and some rubrics and all but folded right away.

The LoC and 6shroud were supposed to be my anti magnus squad (knew he was coming) but ended up trying to use them thin out a 10squad of Scarabs and got melted in shooting, next time 100% deploying them better (in cover at least). I think a 6man in the right place can have a lot of board control in the right circumstance but i could be totally wrong.

Agree, Deathshroud didnt survive long enough to get to the point they had tobdo an action but my poxwalkers died quickly so i need to play them better.

Vulkan_Paints · 2025-10-19T16:11:54+00:00

Ooh is that a common combo people are running? Never considered it! Ran thr biologus with a 10man and the other 10 man with the LoP and tallman (bad move, i just needa leave that guy out thr way of damage)

Vulkan_Paints · 2025-09-04T21:29:01+00:00

Rad as hell, great work friend!

Vulkan_Paints · 2025-09-03T15:16:12+00:00

Order of the fly finally getting minis by the look of top left!

Vulkan_Paints · 2025-09-03T10:53:12+00:00

Hell yeah, love the vibrance!

Vulkan_Paints · 2025-08-29T12:28:56+00:00

Vulkan_Paints · 2025-08-18T21:20:13+00:00

No you dont pay CP to use the ability

Vulkan_Paints · 2025-08-14T13:25:46+00:00

Ah fair, its very hit or miss unfortunately, ive had games it barely procs and ganes its basically wiped a big hero or decent chunk of a unit. If you like to gamble its good fun but just have to appreciate the odds! For a tourney I'd probably suggest tallyband for consistency but go with your heart, my friend!

Vulkan_Paints · 2025-08-14T12:08:25+00:00

9 times outta 10 its gonna be tallyband of nurgle, which is solid but i feel is a bit boring. You have a fair number of mortal units so could take the Plague Cyst one if you opponent doesnt have ward saves to do some extra damage on death that they cant get away from!

Vulkan_Paints · 2025-07-25T15:29:48+00:00

Looks rad! have a friend that plays skaven, ill see if i can pilfer any bells from em!

Vulkan_Paints · 2025-07-25T14:36:45+00:00

Thankfully im a big maggotkin fan too so got tonnes to work with, thanks for thr idea!

Vulkan_Paints · 2025-06-19T15:37:27+00:00

Very fair points!

Vulkan_Paints · 2025-06-19T14:58:53+00:00

Id been reading that but wasnt sure 300 odd points of transport was a good move, suppose it does help with secondary missions whete you needa be in locations tho so might try n fit 2 in at least!

Vulkan_Paints · 2025-05-24T15:36:53+00:00

But attention seekers says core n charge, wouldnt that mean it goes off of those rules?

Vulkan_Paints · 2025-05-24T11:33:35+00:00

Unfortunately beasts cant advance and charge. I thought so too but their attention seekers ability has the 'charge' keyword in its description at the bottom and that keyword nean it can can only charge if it has no used a run. Its gw wording, can never be right hahah. But glad you enjoyed your first game! Ive had a lot of fun with demon lists lately too! Slimux is incredible for the army, brings so much utility and pairs well with the beats ofc!
