I'm fairly new to the game and have been playing skaven for the last few months, but have wanted to start a "good" army as well. Lizardmen make sense, I just don't really love any of the man-races. Basically, this is the offer someone's making me. I've never played against lizardmen and I really prefer to purchase models that will actually be useful to me (I already have too much painting to do). 1 stegadon 1 slann mage-priest 2 skink priests 2 skink chiefs 1 kroxigor 1 saurus lord or chief some ancients (if that's what they're called) 8 saurus cavalry 40 saurus warriors 37 skinks and the codex for 100 dollars. As a side question, what kind of army are lizardmen in terms of common unit sizes? I've seen lists that have tons of units, and I've seen other smaller lists but I don't know the quality of the players for each/if either way is "right". Not saying there's a perfect way to play at all, but for instance, the skaven rely on a large number of troops regardless of your favored tactics/units. I already have a horde army, and I tend to play somewhat competitively (I don't enter tournaments yet if I ever will, but I enjoy building quality forces). Thanks for any help and I apologize if there are obvious answers to any of my questions.
Using the prices for modern models, I make that at least £235 in the UK. If its US dollars you're referring to, that would probably (my knowledge of exchange rates isn't great) be just shy of $300. As far as I can see, the answer is yes. This is a very good deal.
thats a great deal!!!! as far as unit sizes 25-30 is a common size for saurus warriors as well as skink blocks with kroxigor in them. we have more medium sized unit sizes.
Yea, it's a good deal. Do you by chance live in the Washington DC area? I have seen a local sale that used the term ancients (if that's what they are called). Welcome aboard.
This is a very good deal. A brand new (newest style) steg goes for around $50 and they sell on ebay for around $40-45 with a used one/already glued ones sell for $35-$40. Saurus warriors now come in boxes of 10 each selling for around $25 online on up. So just in the saurus alone you have $100+. Id snatch it up! - Lord Cedric
Haha, same here. I saw the ad and actually talked to him once about what the ancients were. I probably would have bought it if there were temple guard, but I had most of the stuff he was listing and didn't need most of the stuff. I'm near Baltimore, play at St. Thomas GW in Owings Mills.
I'm actually helping a friend open the shop where I'll be playing right now. Going to be in Fell's Point in Baltimore (on Aliceanna street). It'll probably be open sometime in January. Store where I used to play closed down (and had a terrible game room).
Id make sure its for current models if anything. That would be my only potential deal breaker. Even with them being old models it wouldn't be a bad deal on your part.
