Kroxigors or Saurus Riders?
Which ones do you prefer as backup(or any other funcion) for your bigger ranked units and why?
My image of kroxigors is not very good...they do hit at st7 and they have to 4...but they get charged all the time and they often lose CR...
My image of cold ones, as a natural druchii...can't be worse...but with 3D6 it's always cool to take them...I did always hate that 14'' charging/marching distance...
The banner of the totem of whatever seems like a very nice thing to take, even getting flank charges where they didn't exist in the first place.
Sorry for all the posts...I'm still learning from your experiences...and the Lizardmen forum is almost abandoned...this is the only WH forum that rules We druchii rock...

Get charged all the time? They have M6... that should be enough to be doing the charging most of the time; the extra point of M on Saurus riders really isn't enough to call their charge a sure thing over that of Krox. Though I don't myself play Lizzies, everyone I know takes at least a trio of the big guys and only 1 takes a unit of saurus rides (8, to be exact, as he's a bit behind the times in terms of MSU ). The totem thing has consistently come up as a killer combo, but really it's the krox who seem to get the spotlight. The fact that they have +3S over the saurus really makes a difference, especially since, with I1, they'll be striking dead last anyway.

I played using lizzies a little last year, and in almost all of the battle the Kroxigors proved to be more useful for me.
They hit harder, are often cheaper in units of three, and are more manuverable due to the slimmer frontage.

I agree with MotionLotion.
If your opponents charge them all the time then that can only be a good thing for you tactically. Its the old "aahhh!! charge the big scary thing first principle" that way you can use them to get some good flank charges in, or just use them to tie up a large number of troops. When playing against large lizzie armies I have always noticed how well they anchor the flanks aswell.

I just played a game using kroxigors as a unit that can take a charge from knights and it worked. They are strong and they will take a while to kill. Though I also prefer cavalry the kroxigors are cheaper and as I've said will live longer
Death is near.

I don't think they can be joined by a character, but I wouldn't anyway. For me, Kroxies are flankers, and I'd rather have my general in one of my main units, say a block of saurus or something.
