Lizard-man rules?

Post by OREMAWESOME1234 » Thu Jul 08, 2010 7:39 am

I'm going to add some lizard men to my forces and i'm not sure what the stats should be. Edit! I've built my first lizard-man and I made it like saberscorpion's Slashrim:http://www.novarefuge.com/lego/helexith_slashrim.htm it's a zrillak

Really it's up to you.

Normally when I have a weird custom unit to incorporate I simply take a normal unequipped minifig and give him special rules and maybe a few stat boosts to suit whatever he is. The actual boosts and specials can vary depending on whatever role you want them to fill in your army, but that's the basic idea.

I wouldn't up their speed, just their armor by +1. Make it like Natalya's Mimetic Armor.

CP: 5
Skill: 1d6
Armor: 5 (1d6+1)
Speed: 5

And if you want them to have a little extra strength, another CP and make it +2 damage to all melee attacks.

I would do as people are suggesting, giving them some sort of armor attribute due to their thick scales, as well as some sort of bonuses in close combat. For instance you could include an additional attack that does not count as an action such as biting.

Some things to consider for lizardmen:

1. Venom
2. Mounts (Alligators, dinosaurs, dragons)

Special ability: Cold-blooded
Lizardmen receive a +1 bonus to speed and melee skill rolls when within 6" of a heat-source, and a -1 penalty to same when a heat-source is absent

This is perfect because the term "Heat-source" is abstract, therefore a lot of room is left for interpretation and as such, imagination.
