Possible Total War:Warhammer Factions The Lizardmen Army 

He correctly predicted how Slaan Mage Priest are recruited.

Dinosaurs on dinosaurs. my childhood fantasy is fulfilled. Praise be to the slanns

I've been watching lore videos for 3 hours and haven't gotten bored, my god Arch, why doesn't games workshop just hire you already? haha

Further proof that Total War urgently needs a new engine

"If you field an army of these Saurus warriors, you give up any ranged capability you might've had otherwise." Meanwhile in TTW2; 4 Skink priests with knowledgeable trait boosting starting winds and reserve winds to the max, all mounted on engines of the gods on ancient stegadons (y'know the orbital cannons), with the extra winds they afford being used to feed Deliverance of Itza levels one two and three, overcharged if I please, courtesy of Lord Kroak. At the same time, temple guards, sacred kroxigors, a Dread Saurian, and Gor-Rok the great white Lizard himself. Yeah countering enemy ranged isn't much of a problem, the Lizardmen are fantastic in every respect.

I want the lizard men in total war sooooooo bad

I already see the 2 possible legendary lords for Lizardmen: Lord Mazdamundi and Kroq-Gar

Lizardmen should have a hard time reinforcing their units due primarily to the spawning concept but also to bring in the function of low number, experienced units being leveled up to, eventually, hero or general level. Many Old-bloods and Scar veterans started out as single sauruses in larger units who lost their spawn broods. so in a other words, if enough sauruses die in a unit it might upgrade to some sort of hero-unit rather than disbanding but it also won't be able to regain lost troops. This wouldn't apply to Skinks of course.

Buddy, I really like your video, but unfortunately I have to say that as a Lizardman player, you have few errors. This is only a mention. Slann can be only in the second rank among just and only in the temple guards. Temple guards have no fear. Carnosaour is proportions of T-rex, not what you put in there for the picture. To top it all in one bite is able to hurt 3 wounds. 5 attacks with a bit of luck , he can kill in the first round 5 ogres, which it is 75% of the entire unit. Teradons are hunters of artillery. It does not serve to melee, but they are blasting javelins and drop rocks. Ripperdaktils is quite different other species. One model has 3 attacks, and if you do before battle put frog in the enemy units , which they hate. Each model has 3 attacks plus. With with the ability armor pearcin a killing blow, they to the terror of every heavy cavalry and infantry. Only there must be a lot of them. Because against armies with the amount initiative lot of them die before implants strike. Chameleon skinks have the ability chameleon skin. Which means that 90% of the forest is not hit with a bow. + At the beginning of the battle, they are able to sneak up on altilerii so close that in the first round are able to wipe out the garrison artillery. Engine of the gods dont shoots fireballs, but they do area effect across vast distances 4D6 and even enemy units in battle die. In other words, all your saurus in combat on several lines and you spin Engine of the gods and all the enemies are in flames. Troglodon is not really popular. Because it is only the supporting unit. Shoots acid is good agence big monsters. Skink oracle who is on him, serves as the ancient vesille for the Slann and through him can also cast spells. + once per battle can creem primeval roar, which virtually all Lizardman get buff that their predators attacks are multiplied at 5-6 and not just on the 6th. Due to its versatility while inability to perform one role properly, not often seen. Sorry for my eng. BTW I like your videos a lot . Great job!!!!

Thank you so much for making these lore videos, Arch. I've been working through them and learning all sorts of new things. Good on you mate :)

If could expand on the use of the Troglodon. Since the Lizardmen use them like we would for bloodhounds, they should be given the ability to detect enemy hidden units. These guys may be blind, but their smell never lies.

I like the idea of a empire explorer somehow managing to steal a plaque of the great plan that tells the lizard men to take over the world. Seeing this, the slaan order expansion. Gameplay wise, due to the lack of currency, I have two ideas. Make spawning constant or, my preferred idea, base the spawning of units on sacrifices. Food, however, should be a currency for upkeep and building(food for workers). The more powerful the unit, the more sacrifices of the subjugated population of captured regions and enemies captured in battle are required. However, as more sacrifices are made, income of food, decreases and civil unrest increases leading to more rebellions in your regions. Also spawning pools in the old world should be expensive to build and expensive to be upgraded so that kroxigores can be spawned. Essentially, will show that the LM are working with unified purpose, so do not need money, but require large amounts of food. It will also show how much the populations of humans hate the rule of who they see to be monsters.

”slann mage priest has access to all magic” Me: Vampire slann?

there is just so much color in this army its really cool

i'm starting to want to see them revamp the experience gathering and recruiting aspect like you always have to recruit the lowest tier unit and as it grows in veterancy you can start specializing it or just strait upgrade it but keep the upkeep about the same adding equipment costs as they go for heavier armor or better weapons or you can keep the lower tier unit but have it get marginally better over time with the pretty chevrons instead of a retrain cost and just have the unit gain experience by being alive and get a ton more in battle with few losses

Thank you for doing this so soon from the lore video. You're are a really amazing youtuber.Also I can imagine them doing a 'lustrian expedition' expansion later on from the release which could be a full expansion, that would add a skaven campaign where they have to take over lustria. The same could be said for the empire and possibly the vampire counts, however this would stretch the vampire pirates lore a bit. They could also do the same for ulthuan. Which would add the elven factions. I would prefer this type of expansion, like the medieval 2 kingdoms expansion, rather than the rome 2 culture pack, even if it would mean waiting a little longer and paying more.

With Total War Warhammer out, I can see Lizardmen fitting pretty well to the system already in place. Kroq Gar and Lord Kroak as legendary lords, Saurus Oldbloods, Slann and Skink Warchief being regular lords, then having skink priests and scar vets as characters. then the Teradons would probably play similar to the dwarf gyrocopters then the rest of the units would be simpler to add in

2020 the dream came true

Loving the vid, thanks Arch.

Just BINGE re playing, commenting and liking (after the hack) ..

I know this might be a bit late, but that saurus oldblood you showed wasn't riding a Carnosaur (as you said) but instead a regular 'cold one', the thing Kroq-Gar rides is a Carnosaur ;)

the jungle swarm seems like a fun dog like unit & i am really excited to see Lizardmen

great info, subbed

Great job Arch!

Nice video !

I really really REALLY want them to include Lizardmen, my favorite army!

And here I am, still waiting for a Seraphon army in Shadespire/Nightvault 😔

In regards to the slann, would be good if you only got 1 per capital city captured of only lustria/ lizardman continent but if they die they will never be available even if you recaptured the same place twice. Would make them more valuable. Great video

The toad should have a limit of 1

I'm assuming that the Slanns will be our legendary lords while the Saurus Old Blood will be our regular generals, maybe along the Skink Chiefs; and the Scar Veterans and Skink Priests will be our heroes. All legendary lords within the game are relevant individuals to the lore and the World of Warhammer, like Karl Franz, Gelt, Archeon and so on, the thing is, are there any individual Slanns? I know that the first five are dead, but are there a Slann or Slanns with different names, backstory, relevancy?

17:33 the inspiration for Avatar Also who would win pheonix guard or sauros warriors/temple guard- it was said in both videos that the mentioned unit was no.1

would the best sauros old blood be able to kick griimgor ironhide around or would it be a good fight

you showed a old blood on some cold one and called it a carnosaur

kroks do have aquatic

Love ur vids tho. Make some more now that its out nd were playin

woot slaan are back !

"upgrade your lizardmen with armor" ha, what a sad sad joke :C

Multiplayer would be fun with something simlar to shogun 2 avatar conquest

Hey Arch You should re do all of your fab lore videos now that we know how TTW was implemented

16:00 min. in and I already know very good do not go into melee with Lizardmen.

Please do a bretonnia set of videos when you get the chance :-)

Given their nature as guards I reckon Temple Guards should only be: 1. a generals bodyguard for slaan 2. a higher tier garrison unit like shogun 2's samurai retainer units (but much more badass) It preserves their fluff and gives your temple cities some defensive oomph

1. Lizardmen have great army control and are cold blooded, so berserker makes zero sense 2. Kroxigors ARE actually aquatic

I'm thinking that Saurus Scar Veterans should be used as unit officers(like having a Samurai commanding your unit of Ashigaru in Shogun 2). On top of this, make Old Bloods your heroes and give them the option of having a body guard unit that consists purely of Scar Veterans? Alternatively, make Old Bloods the final tier of elite, heavy infantry/bodyguard cavalry for the Lizardmen faction. That said, I don't think we'll be seeing Lizardmen in the game as, if I'm not mistaken, it was confirmed that it's only going to be set in the Old World,

I did, I did get to that part.

wait a minute. What is the bloddy difference between the lizardmens raptors and the dark elfs cold ones ?

i dont know much about lizardmen but i have a question are their rivals with nippon? cuz in warsword conquest they are rivals and if not whos lizardmens rival?

I think it'd be awesome to have these in TW, but it'd have to be included in like the Aztecs in M2

Wow, their lore was really disapointing, but their army seems so awesome, now i see why lots of ppl love them

that old blood pic was of him on a coldone a hole lot smaller

generals would be hard to choose i can see old bloods being champions but have every general a slang would be very op unless they severely nerfed em

Great video as usual but maybe if you could use word 'relatively' less often.

waiting for these and the skaven to be put in the game.

what if they end up creating a new faction what would be interesting ideas

lmfao arch. 30:22 "the absaLEAT..least..."

FOR THE EMPEROR!!!!!!

I don't think the Lizardmen are ever going to show up unless they do some hardcore standalone game about lustria that can "fusion" with the original one.

dude where the hell is the carnosaur and mega carnosaur

What about skinks of sotek

For the rolling a six bonus attack, they should have a unit ability that boosts their melee attack for a time

I hope Kroq-Gar will be there as well.

Slann VS Lord of Change who wins?

Though something to remember Lizardmen aren't expansionist they only aim to maintain the balance and exterminate chaos and the orks as well as a few other races. What the main point of the lizardmen would be its powerful nature but restricted nature as well as say depending on climate the effects on them aka cold places aren't nice.

what would you do when CEA makes warhammer total war a game like Total war battles?

are there any famous characters in lizardman?

gimme gimme gimme :D I want Lizardmen army in Total War so bad

so basically they have short bows..

You didn't review all of them in lizardmen

Is your family still sick?

If only kairos was that good cause he’s suppose to be one of the best mages in the lore

Were there any instances when lizardmen ate chaos dudes? And if there were, how well those were digested?

ogres have strengh 4

And pay €20 for lizardmen dlc if it would happen

please oh please let us have lizardmen in a DLC atleast lol. its my "team" in models so ingame would be EPIC

Chaos warrior is a better fighter yes, but a fighter, not an absolute killer who will eat his victim and not just kill and say: blood for the blood god, they will hunt you not just kill you for joy. :)

Wait i think you didn't tall about the carnosaur at all...that's like one of the coolest monsters in the army.....and universe.....come on

i dont think these guys will be in the game seeing as GW squated them

I feel like mixed units could be possible. Elephants that chuck javelins and scorpion ships (that you couldn't target with, mind you) are already something of a mixed unit. If the Empire uses Pike and Shot tactics, I could see CA being able to implement this.

Øk

Well, I expected to hear some backstory about creatures in these races, instead you are just explaining their stats!

Wow warhammer is the most original game ever.....

I like your videos, but you talk soooooooo much
