Great lizards

Some more creatures for my Lustrian Warhammer Quest set - 1D3 'great lizards'.  These cheap hard rubber toys have a surprisingly good level of detail & texture, & painted-up really easily.  They are slightly too big to count as the 'giant lizards' from the Lustrian bestiary, so I'll cook-up some rules for 'great lizards', in a similar vein to great wolves & the great spiders that forest Goblins ride - I'm thinking slower but tougher than a great wolf, & without any special abilities.  Except maybe Poison... Everything in Lustria seems to be poisonous...

I based the colour schemes on real lizards, with a bit of artistic licence - e.g. a Serengeti Agama for the one with a neck-frill, a leopard gecko for the orange/yellow/purple one, & various monitor lizard patterns for the camouflaged one; whilst tying them together as a group with purple on each.  I'm really pleased with how they turned out, & have another nine of these to paint.  However,  I am wondering whether to add a horn or a few spikes to them, to match the more fantastical look of the GW Lustrian snakes.  Any thoughts on this? Cheers!

  2. What happens when the warriors level up and instead of 1d3 great lizards they're up against 3 great lizards?
