Warhammer Fantasy Battle Reporter Forum

Hi guys, I am from Russia so if something’s wrong with may languid than forgive me. I am planning to play a 2 army (lizardmen) but I don’t know the main different batwing the slan priest and the zombie priest, please tell me there differences.

First off Welcome to the forums.

As for your question,the zombie looking one is Lord Kroak,a very powerful special character,the other one is just a regular mage.

Can I yuus the Lord Kroak as a normal mage? (He looks cool). And I want too buy the stegadon, witch do I need? With the temple of the goods or the normal one?

Yea just make sure to clarify with your opponents who he is and you should be fine,as for Stegadons I'm not a Lizardmen player and that has something to do with the rest of the army.

Ok thanks. I am a dark elves player but I revere played agents lizardmen and don’t now were to start with them/

Welcome! Its always nice to see new people on the forum.

I agree with Son of Khaine about Lord Kroak. So long as your opponent understands that you are using him as a regular Slann Priest, there shouldnt be a problem. A lot of people will use a model and say it "Counts as" another model.

As for the Stegadon. There is just one stegadon box, it just has a lot of different ways you can build it. There is a single body in the kit, but there are two different heads (One for the regular steg and one for the Ancient steg.) There are different weapons you can mount to the Stegadon as well. Its actually a VERY customizable kit. If you check out my painting log, I have 4 Stegadons built (But only partially painted) and all of them are built differently. It should give you an idea of how many different things you can do with the kit.

I have so them at the blue table painting, I started warhammer because I love painting the miniatures and if they are difficult to paint I will buy them) but, what the main different between the ancient of the gods and the stegadon which crowsboar?

There are 5 basic builds for the Stegadon:

1. Stegadon: Giant Bow, 5 Skink Crew
2. Ancient Stegadon: 2 X Giant Blowpipe, 5 Skink Crew
3. Stegadon w/Skink Chief: Giant Bow, 4 Crew
4. Ancient Stegadon w/Skink Chief: 2 X Giant Blowpipe, 4 Crew
5. Ancient Stegadon w/EotG: Skink Priest, 4 Crew

There are also a couple of unique characters that can use one as a mount.

Giant Bow: Basically a mobile "Bolt Thrower"
Giant Blowpipe: Think of it as a Poison attack machine gun.
Engine of the Gods: Priest counts as being one level higher for the purposes of generating Power Dice and Dispel Dice and for determining the maximum number of dice he may use to cast spells. You also have three other options to choose between when using an EotG.

Hope that helps!

Ok thanks, than I will do the Engine of the Gods) I can buy warhammer only at summer because at May country I don’t have a games work shop. Sow I need to know what better to buy. So I decided to bay a lizerdmen battalion, stegadon (maybe a priest). Supreme sorceress and asasin)

One nice thing about the Stegadon is it comes with 5 Skinks, 1 Skink Chief, and 1 Skink Priest. It will give you 2 extra models no matter how you build it. All you need to find is the extra two bases for the extra models.

A Lizardmen battalion is a great place to start, it has a nice assortment of models for starting your army.

Es a know) and 1 final question. When I will be building the skinks do I need to give them the spears or blow pipes? I would like to put them in the forests like the shadow warriors.

The stegadon requires 5 models for crew (Placed on the Steg), even of one of those models is a cheif or priest. The regular Skink crew carry Hand Weapons & Javelins. With the two left over models, . . . . Well, the regular Skinks I'd make so they match the rest of the regiment I put them in. If you have a left over Chief or Priest, I'd just make them up as a hero and equip them with whatevery I want them to carry.

I am making lizardmen warriors, showed I make them with spears or with swords?

how many to you have? 20 or 40? if you have 20 i would do hand weapon and shield. if you have 40 and 20 man unit of each

I have 20, I will eventually buy 20 more, and maybe I should du 2 units? 1 are with spears and second with hand weapon?
