Lizardmen

Secure in the almost unknown land of Lustria, the Lizardmen contemplate the meaning of the universe. If any dare to interfere with this divinely decreed duty they destroy them utterly.

Champions, Musician & Standard Bearers

Any Core unit in the army, except Skink Skirmishers, may upgrade a model to a Champion, musician or standard bearer for + 10 points each. Any unit of Cold One Riders may upgrade a model to a Champion, musician or standard bearer for + 15 points each. A champion will have + 1 BS if the unit he is with is equipped with short bows or javelins, otherwise he will have + 1 A. A standard bearer for the following units may carry a magic banner worth up to 50 points: Temple Guard or Stegadons.

Special Rules

The following Special Rules apply to the Lizardman army.

Lizardmen units roll all Psychology and Break tests on 3D6 and discard the highest.
A Lizardman army of 2,000 points or more must be led by a Slann.
Skinks and Kroxigor are aquatic. They can move over marsh, rivers, streams or lakes without penalty, and will benefit from soft cover if in such a terrain feature.
Lizardmen have an armor save from their scaly skin. This may be combined with armor and shields as normal. Skinks and Salamanders have a 6+ save; all Saurus Warriors including Temple Guard have a 5+ save; Stegadon and Kroxigor have a 4+ armor save.
All Saurus Warriors, including Temple Guard, have two or more attacks. One of these is always a bite attack which is worked out at the basic strength of the Lizardman. The other attacks may be modified by special weapons rules. For example Saurus Warriors with spears may fight in a second rank, but only those actually in base contact may use thier bite attack (as it will obviously not reach past the first rank.
Slann may use any lore of magic from the Warhammer rulebook. A Skink Shaman can use the lore of the Heavens.
