Rumour has it that the Lizardmen will be getting a new army book and models come February 2009. Man, I can’t wait!! I loves me some Lizardmen. Here are some preview pics I found while scouring the ‘Net.
New Stegadon - Closeup
New Stegadon
The new Stegadon looks pretty sweet if you ask me, even though it looks a little exaggerated. Supposedly, he’ll be modular such that he can be used as a regular Stegadon, an Engine of the Gods (from the Lustria book) and as a character mount for a few different kinds of characters. The supposed retail price will be $40. I’ll likely end up with a couple.
Temple Guard
Terradon and Kroxigor
I’ve never personally used either of these in any of my Lizardmen lists, but the lure of plastic Temple Guard just might pull me in. I think I’ll stick with my old 6th edition Kroxigor. The new Terradons don’t look too bad, though the buck teeth are a little weird. Too bad they don’t look more like Pteradactyls.
Supposedly, the cost of Saurus is going down by a point or two, which a lot of people like. I always felt like they were the heart of the army and have never played a list without them. There’ll be some new models called Razordons, which people are speculating will be kinda liks Salamanders. We also expect to see a nerfing of the Salamanders as well. Some new characters are coming out, one of which is named Thictac’to. The silly names are a little off-putting, but it seems like something they trow in every once in a while for kicks.
I’m definitely looking forward to February and I expect to be working more on the Lizardmen in the near future. I gotta get me a Slann to go with those spiffy TG and some Salamanders so I can complain when they get nerfed.
