Description:

Hey, this is a new Lizardmen unit I created, a higher ranked and better equipped version of Temple Guard

Lore friendly, I’ve been told; since it was not uncommon for Temple Guards to have ranks, highest being eternity wardens. It was also not uncommon for them to carry other weapons on to the battlefield.

Based on that, I’ve given this unit heavy armor, a mace, better melee survivability and offensive ability. Stat wise they are analogous to Chaos Chosen with Great Weapons, where they have no particular anti-infantry or anti-large bonuses, just good melee stats and AP damage, good against all but not specialized against anything. I think they’re fairly balanced, they’re strong elite infantry ofcourse but you can beat them with lower tier infantry cost effectively with equal resources (Chaos warriors with great wespons, Saurus warriors can fairly easily pull out a 2v1 win).

I’m still open to feedback, so feel free to let me know if you have any balance concerns.

They cost 1425 gold and 350 upkeep.

Recruitment in campaign is the same as Temple Guards (T4 saurus building with Weapon Crafter building).

I don’t have access to my Gaming PC at the moment so if someone would like to contribute better screenshots feel free
