    I definitely _want_ to come back and continue the thread, that's for sure. I had fallen away since it got increasingly frustrating to have so many open questions and no FAQ. Then the 9th edition rumors hit and I lost all remaining interest in painting and playing Lizardmen (and most of Warhammer for that matter) until I know that what I buy and paint will be attractive for use in a few months.

    Thanks for all the interest and support in the thread. Maybe it'll rise back up like a Quango soon...

    Would be great to see more battle reports! Just don't roll a 1 when you hatch...

    Hey @Sleboda! I was amazed when I saw a friend wearing a Sleboda T-shirt last week in Oz.

    Pittsburgh Steelers, Huh? I can't believe they stole your avatar.

    I've just joined this particular bat rep bandwagon late, but I must say Sleboda you have given me plenty to think about. I don't get to play as much as I'd like and either by mismanaging magic phases (or getting screwed over by the magic dice) I find a lot of my games are influenced by me hoping for average dice in the magic phase and getting 2 or 3. As I first started reading the thread I thought you were deliberately underplaying the value of magic in some games whilst overemphasizing them in negative ways. I have since changed my mind about this and totally come round to your way of thinking that the magic phase is a lottery (my main opponent regularly plays against me with daemons and the ensuing comedy rollercoaster that is the Reign of Chaos table). With this in mind I will try out an experiment of my own (with my three main armies, Lizardmen, Skaven & Wood Elves) and see if I can just minimise my blowing up of 300+ point models without my enemy getting anywhere near them.

    Thanks for that, and btw I very much like your writing style. :)


    Apologies to anyone thinking this reply was another Sleboda post.:oops:

    it might just be me... but in the last battle you twice cast your wildform on a 9 on your krox... it seems to me that you forgot the lore attribute that practically says that you get +1 to cast on anything that is not infantry... a nice thing to remember when playing monster heavy

    It doesn't add +1 to your cast but instead lowers the casting value by 1, but you are correct in that his roll of a 9 would then be successful, might have made a difference with that shooting.

    Also with a Solardon and Engine of the Gods I think that lvl 2 heavens skink is kind of not pulling his points worth, you are going to have 3 spells you want to get out with a possible 4th depending on spell gen. At lvl 2 and with bound spells that is going to use up 5-8 dice alone. I suggest you swap the lvl 2 heavens priest with additional saurus and go for 2 units of 24, or one big unit and a smaller flank support unit, against DE shooting they will easily survive and have a much better chance to make a difference mid to late game.
