New territory

Dave Grant came over last night and we managed two games.

First his dodgy Lizard build vs my Dwarfs. I was comprehensively smashed. Comprehensively.

Then we turned the tables and I used the Lizards. Having never used Lizards before I still managed to smash him (he was using my Dwarfs).


I really enjoyed:

Skirmishers
Magic
Kroxigor


Dave's dodgy Lizard list is:

Slann: BSB, Plaque of Dominion, Plaque of Tepok, Bane Head
Skink Hero : Mk Quetzl, Dagger of Sotek, Mk Old Ones (in Steg)
Skink Priest: Lvl 2, Mk Quetzl, Diadem of Power
10 Skinks: Mk Quetzl

3 Terradons
5 Kroxigor

It's a pretty nasty list - subtle as a brick but made much worse by virtue of the fact that Dave managed to roll up Unseen Lurker on the frog. I HATE Unseen Lurker. It is probably the best spell in the game - moreso on the Fat Toad.

Despite the fairly 'meh' outcome of each battle I learnt heaps about Dwarfs AND Lizards. Dave's a fast player but was able on occasion to reduce his speech to sub-light-speed and talk me through some decisions and finer tactical points making it a very worthwhile experience.

He has also generously lent me his army (!) so the next series of posts will be my experiences with Lizards vs a variety of opponents (with what is hopefully a more... balanced list). Antony's Naughty Elves on Wednesday afternoon, Nick's Rats on Wednesday night (I love being on holiday), whoever I can catch unawares at the club on Sunday, and hopefully someone else tomorrow night.

Next post should be a Lizardmen army list!
