really, buddy? i have both gw lizardman teams. the games day team is bad, but i kinda like the newer version. and the star player is pretty sweet, imho.
come to think about it, theres not much on offer as far as lizardman teams out there, is there? sarcos are very nice, but after that?
anyway, i think this krox is very nice.
Obviously it's all just a matter of opinion. I just feel the current GW Lizard team is super bland. The Sauri feel "small" and the sculpts are all in very similar, boring poses with helmets that often look ridiculously large. None of the models on the team have any character or personality (as opposed to something like the more classic 2nd Ed teams). The GW Krox and Slibli do look nice, though, I agree.
As far as I know there are only two other lizard teams on the market I can think of, but the GW plastic WH Lizardmen line is fantastic, so I just converted up some players I felt had appropriate gear and some dynamic, characterful sculpts (like Sauri strong-arming and the plastic Cold One/Ogre kroxigor conversion). I've seen quite a few Lizardmen teams that have made me go "WOW!," but they've all been pretty substantial GW Fantasy conversions. I think this new team, if the other sauri sculpts follow par, will be the first purchasable team that gets close (assuming this team will ultimately be for sale? Or is this just a personal project of the creator? Either way, so much talent!).
