Quick answer
Start your Lizardmen army with a single box of Lizardmen from Wargames Atlantic, which provides 24 versatile plastic miniatures that can be armed for melee or ranged roles, giving you a solid core for a fantasy wargaming force.
Choosing your core unit role
The Lizardmen box gives you 24 figures with options for weapons, tooth, and claw attacks. Decide early whether you want a melee-heavy shock force or a mixed unit with some ranged capability. The kit supports both, but each figure can only carry one weapon loadout, so plan your army list before gluing.
Alliances and army composition
Lizardmen have been known to ally with goblin war hosts against the High Queen's forces. If your local game rules allow allied contingents, consider pairing Lizardmen with goblins for a combined arms approach. Otherwise, a pure Lizardmen force works best as a aggressive infantry block.
Assembly and painting considerations
The hard plastic sprues require standard plastic glue and clippers. Clean mold lines carefully, especially on claws and tails. A simple base coat of green or brown with drybrushed scales gives a tabletop-ready look without advanced techniques.
Decision rules for building your Lizardmen army
- Start with one box: Buy one Lizardmen box (24 figures) as your foundation. This gives you enough models for a standard skirmish force or a single unit in a larger game.
- Decide weapon loadouts before assembly: Choose between melee (clubs, spears) or ranged (javelins, bows) for each figure. Mixing roles within a unit can reduce effectiveness in most rule sets. Plan your army list first to avoid wasted models.
- Consider allies for flexibility: If your game system allows, ally Lizardmen with goblins or other factions to cover weaknesses like lack of cavalry or artillery. Check your rulebook for ally restrictions before buying additional boxes.
- Scale up with multiple boxes: For a full army (e.g., 50+ models), buy two or three boxes. Each box builds identically, so you can field multiple units with different roles.
