I know Lizardmens won't be released until the next campaign and next year,

they wont be released in new campaign, we are not planing (even in long future!) any campaign with lizards

[Grymloq]

we know that, but why not adding them in 1.5?
And if somebody would make a Lizardmen submod (very improbable), here are the suggestions

[The Holy Pilgrim]

I don't think they are ever being added, not even in 1.5. But I would support a Lizardman mod fully

[Emishi]

If someone has the 3D models of bloodbowl lizardmen maybe he could upload it here.

Darts would maybe more fitting for skinks since I can't imagine how you'd do a blowpipe animation.

Skink melee regiments would be a interesting choice, too.Highly maneuverable but weak and light armored.


It's a bit sad that they won't be implemented in the game but I think you'd have to much problems with the tail animations...but miracles happen maybe I improve my modeling skills over night and a fanatic coder falls from the sky eager to put his favorite race in this superb mod.

lizard's mercenary?

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

A lone Frog cannon shot rings out across the pond breaking the stillness, and in response a thousand enthusiastic war-croaks arise from the bulrushes.

[Emishi]

But frogs are amphibians and not lizards dear Sir.

[The Holy Pilgrim]

That may be true, but they are mercs for the Lizardmen. They occassionally show up to help them.

[derdavid]

The slann is also a frog .

But they miniatures here are not from GW, or am I wrong?

[Emishi]

Slanns are more like Jabba the Hut on ritalin.


But seriously I've never heard of frog mercs in the warhammer universe.They were neither mentioned in lizardmen armybook of 6th edition nor 7th edition.
If they were once part of the warhammer lore they were outdated long ago like many other ridiculous former curiosities of warhammer that won't fit anymore to the dark and more realistic setting.

[Grymloq]

however there are some lizardmen mercenaries

and I have bought some days ago Blood Bowl (awesome) so I'll search the model

[The Holy Pilgrim]

I have the Legendary Edition and it is a lot of fun!

That'd be awesome dude.

Yeah I know tichi huichi's riders.
They also hire or enslave local humans who worship them as gods.One could just use Aztek models for that.

[Grymloq]

ok i found the models of saurus and skinks but not the kroxigor ones
Also modifing the upgrade of saurus' helmet the temple guard helmet-skull could be maked

They also hire or enslave local humans who worship them as gods

"They" is referred to Tichi uichi riders or to Lizardmen in general?
because Lizardmen sacrifice all the prisoners (chaos,skaven,humans etc.) to their Gods

P.S. Also the sounds can be taken from BB, needs only to put off the ball sound during TD

Lizardmen in general.
And no there although there are sacrifices they don't necessarily kill all of them (as can be read in the book burning shore) and there are definitely remarks in the armybooks about indigenous humans worshiping the lizards and serving them partly because of fear partly because of respect.

Nice dude.
There's also a star player (Slibli) model that'd be perfect for temple guard (champion maybe).

[Grymloq]

yeah, I know about the Star

burning shore is a warhammer novel?
