How to play the Lizardmen in Total War: Warhammer 2 | Roster & Battle Strategy

[@ColonelDamneders]

What's your favourite Lizardmen unit?

[@elijahcross6351]

Quick question why do the fling units have 280 speed that's easily double the normal speed

[@ColonelDamneders]

[@raisedbybears1991]

Saurus Warriors! I know the Temple Guard are better in every way (and the Starchamber Guards even more) but thanks to their availability, the common Saurus carries half the campaign. They're strong and tough, and best of all don't run from anything. They're cool to look at and fun to watch fight. I usually prefer ranged units and cavalry, but I keep coming back to Lizardmen for those brutal frontline clashes.

23:21 Blessed Saurus Warriors are criminally undermentioned when people talk about lizardmen. They're easily better than Temple Guard with pretty much the same armour-piercing damage but they do far more regular damage on top of that. They've also got decent melee-attack (which lizardmen generally suck at) which makes them outright better killers too. Most importantly of all, Perfect Vigour means they never get tired no matter what you put them through. Run them up hills or up ladders during sieges and they'll be just as fresh as when they started the battle. This gives them a massive utilitarian advantage over most infantry and it also makes them the perfect holding unit. Put a healer Slann or a couple of revivification crystals behind them in a regular battle and all that health and their never getting tired means they'll hold the line against enemy infantry forever. If you've already specced your Lord into "Proud Warrior" then do NOT waste points in "Sacred Guardian" as well. Rather, pray to RNGesus you get a quest for these guys because they will do everything lizardman infantry was meant to do but better. Like all lizardmen infantry, they're slow, they won't outright win battles for you in the late game, they're quite delicate against cav and monster charges and will need a modicum of support against the most elite armoured+armour-piercing infantry units out there. They will, however, effectively hold down the enemy army for as long as it takes your dinosaurs to win the battle - and they will take names while doing so. I've used them all the way until the end of the campaign and the most epic battle I had was when just 5 units of these guys held down 3 armies worth of Chaos infantry while the dinosaurs went to work charging about and orbital lasers and Kroak helped reduce enemy numbers. By the end of the battle, the Blessed Saurus Warriors racked up more kills than anyone else besides my Lord and heroes. And best of all they were still "fresh" by the end of it - ready to methodically wear down and slay the next army like the unfeeling reptilian bio-robots they were meant to be. Truly special.

[@Duncan2201]

[@marckrieger3277]

Interesting I love the saurus warriors with shields and it ts sad to replace them with temple guard. Maybe you have a point. In the multiplayer campaigne which i play right now i will take 4 blessed saurus warriors with shields togehter with templeguard (regular and RuR) lets see which performs better. Thanks for the tipp.

[@JoshSweetvale]

This sounds like what Lizardmen should use for seige armies. I usually put my armies in one of three categories: Regular, Reinforcing (cav, air and other fast stuff only) and Seige (at least 8 wall infantry) Lizardmen can also use solar cannon bastiladons to blow out a wall and just rush in their dinosaurs, though.

Rampage is not about leadership, it is actually HP. Primal insticts goes off at 20% and tje unit starts to rampage, if hp is healed above 20% it will stop, and if it drop below it again the stst buffs come in, but not rampage. Normal rampage goes off at 75%, 50%, and 25% and lasts 40 sec. Healing above these thesholds does not cancel it, but it won't go off again for that threshold. If a dino hits another before the 40 sec. the new timer starts anyway and the old is abandonded.

Those bomber terradons can NOT be underrated. They are massively clutch in turning the tides of so many battles. I had a Life magic Slann defending a key city back home while Kroq-Gar and my other 2 armies were out ripping into some Tomb Kings. And it was in that moment that Malekith, Morathi AND Malus all rolled up at the same time to go after this city. Nearly 2500 Dark Elves, including arguably their three scariest Lords. I had around 1400 Lizardmen in my combined defense army. My Slann constantly casted healing magic, my priest spammed the ability to speed up magic regen, my Temple Guards held the walls and fought like demons against the ladders and siege towers, my skinks barraged from range, my Kroxigor and Stegadons held the gates and my Cold Ones rode down anything that started breaking through, but I truly, TRULY thought the battle was lost and all three armies were going to decimate my fledgling empire. But those damned fireleech bolas. Hovering behind the walls, launching them into the enemy masses and just *decimating* their health bars... For nearly half the battle, I had used them to try to harass the enemies in sort of bombing runs, just to thin their ranks slightly, but hovering in place and just lobbing tons of explosives into enemy clusters as they exited the siege towers? I watched those health bars plummet with each barrage. It was a DAMNED close battle still because Tz'arkan is absolutely brutal and my army was shredded to ribbons by the end, but by battles end less than 200 Dark Elves survived. After 5 more successfully held off sieges from various combinations of Dark Elf generals, I add the title 'The Immovable' to that Slann's name. Katte'bak earned that shit. Ain't nobody taking a city from Katte'bak.

Awesome video! Thank you so much for taking the time to make it. Really helped me out in my first Lizardman campaign.

[@booradley6832]

I'm a long time player but im subbing just to help your metrics because I want you to keep turning out this quality of content. Great work.

[@booradley6832]

I do feel you have some tightening up of your gameplay to do, your target acquisition could use a little work namely artillery disruption. Its okay if you think you can just tank the hits but overall its an improvement to make that helps a lot (especially in MP.) As for campaign I think you can work on making your armies cheaper but more effective overall to help people who arent economically the best or tend to lose provinces. For example if you take feral cold ones and stick them as an escort to horned ones, carnosaurs or any dino they're extremely effective because they get to flank will actually do a ton of damage when attacking in the back with their charge bonus, which will quickly terror-route the enemy and they can chase the unit off. For their price its an option that cant really be beat. This prevents a higher tier unit from using up their vigor and losing more models later, and the better unit can immediately turn and fight something else while the feral cold ones run mop-up duty the rest of the match. Terradon riders can be used identically- although the fireleech bolas are indeed better campaign units. Same thing with the various skink skirmishers- they can toss in damage to demoralize enemies that are getting crushed by your temple guard or dinosaurs and then run them off since they outspeed just about all other infantry. Taking ranged fire does a lot to drop morale. Or specifically chameleon skinks. Yes they dont hit as hard as the other massive missile units but they are exceptionally good at ambushing archers, also being able to precision target poison debuffs(Which do last long enough to keep two units poisoned by alternating targets with their very fast reload) is a great thing. Its pretty funny watching Chosen struggle against Ssaurus warriors because they just arent hitting for much damage and keep getting shot in the back. In all examples there is a case to be made for going cheaper actually being more effective- Yes you can upgrade to better units but mixing in ones in their specific niche that arent at the top end of the tech tree is an under-emphasized skill I think you could bring people up to speed on. I'm not trying to be too critical because of how good I think your content is overall, just some tips to help make it consistently better.

The Ancient Stegadon is made to go into melee. Other than the regular version it's missiles keep firing while in full melee, acting as a damage multiplier. The Dreadsaurian has the same missile mechanic. Someone should get fired for that mistake!1

the lizardmen are my favorite faction which used to be the greenskins but after seeing what amounted to be basically "fantasy dinosaur war machines" i opted for them as my number one favorite other than the greenskins which are my second followed by the skaven and the beastmen. the temple guard are my favorite infantry and the dread saurians are my favorite monsters. a contingent of temple guard are good body guards for a slann mage priest.

Great video as always! Just wanted to point out @4:20 that Saurus warriors with shields simply increases their cost and melee defense other than providing a shield.

the way i use cameleon skinks or skin skrimishers and to some extent the skin cohort with javleins are more as a suport unit. basicly waiting till the lines have clashed before i move around the flanks and apply some poison to the enamies, having one or two skin skrimishers (or if you have the money cameleon skinks) in you´re army even late game can acctually be really good, obviously you could just use terradon riders for this though... regardless yes the lizards do struggle when it comes to their ranged options

As a skaven player who doesn’t have the greatest counters to Lizboys… I hate them. Their rampant is pretty much unbreakable with a stat buff, their skirmishers are hard even for mine to chase down, their monsterous hunt down my skirmishers, their predatory instincts renders my eshin units unable to take advantage of their stealth and their armor and charge against my low morale makes my army break before the battle starts. I pretty much have to build custom anti liz armies just for fighting them and still be at a disadvantage. The only saving grace can be laying ambushes, but their astrology stance counters that too. And then on top of everything, their chameleon stalkers will solo my entire army of rattling guns when I just want to meme. I hate them so much.

[@sympunny8636]

What does your army normally consist of? If you want we could start a co-op campaign and i could help you play through? The lizardmen aren't my favourite race, but i have beaten a campaign with them on legendary/very hard, so i know most of the tips/tricks. Early game, the skinks with javelins are a solid unit to spam. Saurus warriors are solid as well, the basic skink cohort is basically useless though, always better to go javelins. Kroxigors are an excellent damage dealer, just keep them as a second line so they don't get targeted by ranged on the approach, then send them in when your front line is engaged. The lizardmen cavalry are absolutely awful compared to most races, this is partly because of the rampage mechanic, and their relatively slow speed for cav, I wouldn't recommend recruiting any. The cameleon skinks are actually a pretty good unit, due to their missile resist and poison skirmish attacks, but you need to pay attention to them to use them effectively. Basic terradons are trash, but the terradons with fireleech bolas are extremely useful. Their monsters are all extremely good, generally go for stegadon over bastiladon. The basic stegadon (not the feral one) is one of the best units in the game. Has extremely long ranged attack and excellent in melee too. If you wanted to, you could have an army of just these with a life mage and it'd beat almost anything. Speaking of magic, a mage is worth taking in almost every race and lizardmen are no exception. Recruiting a skink priest of heavens can do insane damage. The most consistent spell in that lore is chain lightning so get that as fast as you can. Earlier on wind blast can be very useful as well. Just wait until the front line of your units are engaged then find a nice blob of enemies and cast it on that. Just be careful of chain lightning because it can hurt your units too and it's movements are random. However, it is worth using. In terms of campaign, skaven are very good at ambushing exposed armies. So almost never used forced march into enemy territory. If you're having trouble with a particular army, you can set up an ambush of your own. Just make sure you're not too close to anything when setting it up, either an enemy hero/settlement or army can spot ambushes if they're too close. A good way to bait enemy armies into the ambush is to recruit a new lord nearby with no units. Move him within striking range of that enemy army, and put him in forced march. This is to act as bait. Then move your actual army next to him in ambush stance. The enemy will see the exposed lord in forced march and can't resist killing him, but when they try, your ambush springs. Let me know if there's anything in particular you want to know.

[@gwangseopshin]

[@Olav_Hansen]

I enjoy the things you say about each unit, but with throwing this many different units in your army you can't give all of them the lord buffs and have a good lord. More so, your battles seem quite close in "even battles", and the ai is trying it's best not to give even battles because it knows it can't command as good. Also, skaven is one of the better enemies you can encounter as lizardmen (since the rats struggle against monsters), yet it took you to long to take out the warplightning cannons. Those things are really dangerous against those single entity monsters.

Christ laddie! If you're gonna use the word melee a million times at least learn how to pronounce it! Nice video, very thorough!

People do actually tend to pronounce things differently based on where they're from laddie

@@happysalmon6719 I am British but it's just how I say the word. If you can understand what I'm saying then that's what really matters

@@ColonelDamneders really didnt want want to start an argument but that comment bothers me way too much Yes its made up but there is still a correct way to pronounce words It would be fine if you said that YOU were gonna keep pronouncing it melee But dont go and encourage others to intentionally mispronounce words and make communication harder

Chill out dude. People pronounce words differently based on where they’re from. As long as you understand what I meant then surely that’s all that matters. I’m not trying to start any arguments
