    I always wanted to make a lizardman chariot, more as a show piece but also as a way to make a somewhat cheap basic counts as steggie
    my plan

    Take this well get the bits for teh chariot itself from a store that sells bits, then 2 eitehr razordons sallies, or cold ones(although razordons make more sense impact and mosnter reaction wise) and fit them to it.

    then take all the bits I have left from my EOTG the shields ballista etc, and fit them on the chariot to lizardman it up so to speak.

    I know it might be easier to just also buy some dark elf or lizzie cold one mount bits to attach to it but I think the razordons would be more imposing.

    Also fitting enough skinks onto it might be a problem

    Any idea how best to make it work?

    I have done a simliar coverertion that I posted on this site a few weeks ago.
    (ref Topic: Charoit for lizadmen? dose it work)

    I did find when i started that I was going to have it with salamanders pulling the charoit, however I found that they were to low for the yoke of the charoit to connect properly so I went for Cold ones.
    I also found the height for the rim the base was to high for skinks so I used a saurus warrior instead.

    I did get some critersium about the use of it in the game but i not into the gaming side that much, just the coverting & painting side.

    BUT every one is free to make what they wish in this world of Lustria. I look forward to seeing your version of a lizardmen chariot

    Sorry about the spelling a very long day :rolleyes:

    GOD DAMMIT, ths is exactly what i was going to do; with the white lion chariot and everything...
    Chariots usually only have 2 minitures on them anyway so i would just make some "house rules" for it instead of using the steg. How are u gonna fit razerdons pulling the chariot, there so spikey and it would look akward?

    I think this is a very good idea. So good, that I have already done it....

    I can't take credit for the idea (ref my super genius battle brother Commercial) but with his vision and my conversion work I made this:

    lizchariot.jpg
    Counts as a baby steg. Has 5 skink riders. Big bow. Cold ones arent stupid due to their eliteness, which is also why they have 2 str 5 attacks each! Scythed for impact hits... all the good stuff!

    The wheels need work but other than that most of the model is done.

    I didn't mean to hijack this thread, sorry mate! I'll get my own thread going once I get this thing painted.

    Wheels were really hard to find as cold ones are pretty damn tall. So, I figured since I am cork basing all my models I might be able to use some for the wheels. I actually think if I had 4 of the semi-circular rune things (on the front part of the back section) they would make better wheels. We shall see if I feel like putting in another bits order.
