At some point you'll find yourself with one or two Skinks on the field - I wish you the best of luck. This boils down to luck on the armour rolls. Be aware that some coaches ascribe to the 'Blitz a Skink every turn' philosophy. Dodge away from Block range before you tempt the dice with turnover inducing tasks. If an opposing player has Tackle and not Dodge remember you can mark them with a Saurus so they won't blitz your Skinks. Only Skinks can handle the ball and beginning Lizardmen coaches often don't protect them as well as they could.

It will be a long road to getting Break Tackle on even one Saurus so get used to planning ahead so you have a free Saurus to blitz with. Using Saurii in pairs means that one can free the other by blocking the player marking him. The very low agility of the Saurus means they get tied up easily by opposing Linemen and are unable to blitz key opposition players - without Break Tackle the Saurus' extraordinary Str 4 Ma 6 won't be available to blitz ball carriers. In the hands of a skilled coach, Lizardmen are very hard to beat. Many coaches who have not played Lizardmen before struggle against them, mostly because they are so different. The Kroxigor is considered to be one of the best Big Guys out there being able to tie up opposing players with Prehensile Tail. The greatest asset of the Lizardmen is their speed the Skinks are lightning-fast with Ma 8, and even the strong Saurus have Ma 6. <<< Back to Racial Strategies and Rostersįor a more complete and comprehensive Lizardmen guide click here to read Garion's Lizardmen playbook
