The first are Kaisenor Lancers - the fastest of the mounted units at 8" but with average melee and survivability. Likely they would be decent heavy chaff or back-line units, but the lack of Nimble makes them less powerful than some armies medium cavalry.
The models are a bit of mix. The raptor mounts are 1990's GW Coldones that originally mounted Dark Elves, who look hobbit-like by modern standards. The riders are new GW Skinks - small lizards whose cousins will feature in a unit of their own.
The second unit is my first flying unit for Lizardmen - a Ghekkotah Skylord. The mount is a Schleich Pterosaur with a spare GW rider perched atop it. This gives a striking-looking mounted hero to ravage the enemies backline.
Finally there is a hero mounted on a dinosaur. This came as part of the GW lizardmen starter army and will probably feature as a Clan Lord on Firedrake. Its a costly unit but is tough and boasts 16 breath attacks, which could be fired over intervening troops.
It is a beast though as you can see against a standard 25mm figure and stands over 150mm high, making it fairly hard to miss.
Looking good Stu, I'm not sure I like the sound of 'first flying unit' though. I also suspect I'll need to recruit some Hobbits to get a front charge into contact with the Firedrake.
ReplyDeleteI just need to see if I have anything taller I can field.....
Oh, I forgot to say, needs more tufts.
