Well, maybe you have read all posts I posted about lizards and dwarves, now I have to choose between this two teams. I'm 75% convinced that lizard team is better at this moment but maybe someone thinks different. Please feel free to give your opinion... here I'll post the teams:
Lizards
TR: 128
treasure: 130k
FF:6
Apoth
RR:2
4 Saurus without spp
1saurus w. Block (11 spp)
1 saurus w. block (9spp)
1 skink w. sidestep (6 spp)
1 skink w. sidestep (8 spp)
4 skinks (4, 2, 3, 0 spp)
Dwarfs
TR: 115
treasure: 50k
FF:5
Apoth
RR:1
2 Trollslayers without spp (one has 1 niggling)
2 Blitzers (5 spp each)
2 Runners (5, 2 spp)
2 LBeards (2, 5 spp)
4 LBeards (0 spp)

no contest really is it!!
I would take the lizzies based on those rosters even though my style at the moment would suit the dwarves more.
nearly another 3 skinks with skill #1. should be a good team and hard to beat soon.

should I buy krox. now?

should I buy krox. now? I have the money, but I not much convinced... Last match was against lizards and although I won, was hard because he had 5 saurus + krox.

I would keep the Lizardmen roster, if I were you... Krox should be a great addition in this. Even if you already have 6 saurus, which is a strenghen defensive line.
PS: it's really funny to see your team evolution. Hope you will ocntinue. Many thanks for it.

O'rey lagarto! They can end up calling you by that nickname! XD
I'll take the lizards, for sure. That niggling inj. on a trollslayer is way too much unbanlance for a team with only 50k left of money.
best of luck!!!

My experience with Lizardmen last season showed Kroxigors to be fairly useless. 5 Saurus on the pitch more than makes up the strength difference. If you need the extra punch, buy one or two of them guard for a second skill.
Better idea to use your money to buy a reroll, or even more skinks.

Lizard King? you're joking Timun!

All you seem to think same as I do.
Marcus: I know that krox is not the best deal, but will help me to build a great def. line when I don't receive the ball and I can keep out of the pitch two saurus and get into two skinks when the other team has been weakened or just receive the ball. I also keep in mind I need more RR.

Whatever works for you. I found that 5 saurus fronting up my defensive set with 6 skinks in the backfield worked a treat. The Kroxigor doesnt' have block or mighty blow so his ST5 is really of limited value; and a failed bonehead roll will gut your defence like a rainbow trout.
With that many ST4 players on the pitch there were precious few circumstances where my defence was hurt by a lack of strength. Most often coaches got around my defence by tying up my Saurus and restricting my movement.
A Kroxigor not only just as easy to tie up, but also suffers from the odd bonehead roll which can gut your defensive tacklezone net like a rainbow trout.
Next time I coach a Lizardman team I'll be concentrating on getting break tackle for my Saurus first up and skipping on the extra hitting power.

Take those lizards, they have a better chance to score and they look better.
How I usually set up my lizards

Marcus: I don't have usually mo. restrictions because I don't follow up when blocking and build my scrim with 4 sauruses while keep 2 on the wings (one saurus on each side). But at the end I think that the best order to choose skills on saurus is this: Block, MB, Break tackle. On skinks I think I won't take block if I roll doubles, I lost so many turns trying to get the ball from the floor so almost two first skinks will have sure hands.

I (for obvious reasons) hate to say it but the Lizards should be your choice. Even for only three matches thats pretty lousy development on your dwarfs. Incidentally....get guard on one of those sidestepping skinks if you roll a double. The opponent will NEVER get rid of that assist

thanks thadrin
