Introduction

The Lizardmen are a merciless, unflinching force on the battlefield, a host of thickly scaled, powerfully muscled Saurus Warriors and swift, deadly Skinks who are unshakable in their resolve and who give no quarter. Theirs is not the way of bloodlust or heedless frenzy, but rather dispassionate brutality, meted out with blade, spear and claw. The Lizardmen's resolve stems from their sure knowledge that they are a fundamental part of the Great Plan of the Old Ones, and that only through their constant service and sacrifice can this prodigious work come to pass.

This article introduces these stalwart servants of the Old Ones, explains their place in the Great Plan and looks at how they function, not just in the background of the Warhammer world, but also upon the tabletop. We'll also take a look at the units that are central to the Lizardmen army and make some recommendations as to the best ways to start your own Lizardmen collection
