The Army

Whether your lizards are the kind that dwell in the swamp, or the kind that live in the desert, a Lizardman army is always fun to field.

My army has plenty of solid foot backed up with a strike force of dinosaur-mounted lancers:  with the dino's as Fighting Mounts just to make them that little bit tougher.  I also like to include a few lizardman giants, if only because there are so many good models to choose from.  Add in the evil Priests, and you've got a very powerful force ready to take on all-comers.

Officers

Three of the Officers from the army.  The chap on the left is a typical brigade Leader.  The monstrosity in the middle is the commander-in-chief.  The mounted lizard on the right is the Leader of the cavalry brigade.

Infantry

Three different types of foot base.  On the left is a base of standard foot:  open order medium lizards with swords and shields.  In the centre is a base of armoured lizards, and on the right is a base of archers.

I like the idea that my lizardman army is a sort of conglomeration of various tribes, and that leadership is a very visible thing.  Thus the archers are obviously from a different tribe to the foot, and, if you look carefully, the foot leaders are a good deal taller than their colleagues.  Brigade Leaders are all red-skinned, and even the back-spikes of the leaders of the archer bases are in red rather than the normal green.

The Cavalry

Three bases of cavalry types.  On the left are Swarm:  loads of little lizards like the ones off Jurassic Park II!  In the centre are the dino-mounted lancers:  these ride Fighting Mounts and are probably the most lethal unit in the army.  On the right is my lizardman hero:  an albino lizard mounted on an albino dinosaur.

One can again assume that the lizards that ride things (cavalry and giant turtles) are from a different tribe to the foot.

Other Troops

.

The Lizardmen Priests and the Flyers.  I always include both in any army I field.

Note that the painting scheme is carried through here:  the priests, using magic, have purple skins;  and the riders of the pterosaurs are, like the cavalry, blue-skinned.
