A Dinosaur riding on a larger dinosaur. What is not to like?

I love how the lizardmen are exactly what the Emperor of mankind wishes Humans were. Extremely loyal servants that don't need chaos to live. The fact that no lizardman had ever fallen to chaos is truly astounding!!!

The fools call them Lizardmen the wise call them Defenders of the World

Skinks are heartbreakingly adorable. I always feel bad having to fight them playing as other races, and even sending them to battle playing as the Children of the Old Ones. If I were Marco Colombo I probably would get myself killed the second I entered the city because I'd pet the skinks like a pet gecko.

Lucky the Lizardmen don’t like to crusade or else they’d threaten all other civilizations. Such an OP and unique faction.

By far my favorite faction. Meso American culture fits them so well.

The end result of a madman turning people into dinosaurs instead of curing cancer.

Finally, a Warhammer fantasy video that isn't End Times crap!

...I suddenly feel motivated to touch that box of Seraphon again. Lizardmen FTW, easily the coolest thing about the Warhammer World.

I love the lizardmen. Fav factions since Warhammer 2.

This is the kind of stuff I've been really wanting to see the K&G and W&W channels start doing again. It may not be really in depth videos about their armies, but it's certainly better than nothing.

Ahh nice to see my favourite race getting covered honestly I wish the Lizardmen got adapted into 40K feels like such a waste now same with the Skaven, great video hope you have a great day

One has to respect a race of dinosaur riding carnivore giant lizards. Because they are not giving much other option. They also sound like the kind of people that would worship Godzilla as a god if they knew of him. I'm thinking. This kind of races and factions would be a great way to introduce universes that have a lot of details in regards to a expansive lore, but not much to explore in regards to a linear narrative or story. Or at least, not yet. Like the world of Runeterra, for example.

Calling the Lizadmen the “oldest race in existence” is a bit controversial. There were many intelligent races to inhabit the Warhammer World, long before the arrival of the Old Ones. The Dragons, the Dragon Ogres, the Fimir, the Skytitans, the Tregara…

Fun facts. Dragons, dragon ogres, sky titans, fimir, and many other animal races predate Old Ones’ arrival to the Warhammer world in -10 000 IC (before Sigmar became emperor). Be’lakor and count Drakenheft were both human-ish men of their tribes that either became first daemon prince or necromancer/ghosts. Other than that, it’s hinted that the Old Ones did not create elves, dwarves or even humans, only took primitive proto sapients races of the world and gave them magic, technology, and evolved them quickly. First were supposedly the elves, who Old Ones made beautiful, long lived, not immortal, average elf in Warhammer fantasy lives for 1-2 thousand years, and they supposedly already had their gods/pantheon but GW doesn’t tell much. The elves got spellcasting from the old ones as well but no other forms of magic. The government made by Old Ones for the elves was based on Everqueen ruling their entire race, with position of king being created after the Great Catastrophy. But elves were weak and easy to corrupt, so Old Ones then gave technology and magic to dwarves, making them tougher, less corruptible, but not as long lived, as its rare for a dwarf to live past 1000 years. The oldest dwarf ever I believe was 1200 years old. Dwarf leaders possibly became the 3 wisest/best dwarves that later became dwarf 3 main gods Grimnir, Grungni, and their shared wife Shallaya whose children started their own kingdoms, with Snorri Whitebeard becoming high king of all dwarves after the Great Catastrophy and departure of dwarf gods. Dwarfs got rune magic from the old ones but no spellcasting for some reason. For some reason later on Old Ones also gave humans on Albion knowledge of oghm stones and magical symbols used by Druids but little is known beside that, and also no knowledge of rune or spell magic. Somewhere between all that they also apparently had fingers in evolving ogres, fighting war with, dragons, giants, other native monsters like fregata spiders, and orks whose spores they carried on their ships and failed to destroy before the Polar Gates broke. Chaos/raw warp also causes them pain and also hurt Slann but not as much. The gates, vortex, temple and oghm stones create winds of magic, sorta cleaning the raw magic into different, clean winds or energy that magicians use.

Marco Colombo. LOL An interesting combination of the two greatest explorers in history.

When i first opened warhammer 2 i saw the opening for the lizard men faction and was sold instantly. They're awesome and im glad ive gotten to know more about them lorewise. Cant wait to see more videos on this universe!

MOAR faction exploration like this please!

BRISTOL ORIENTED KLUB

lizardmen seem extremely loyal , i remember in a episode when capt juan luc picard of the star ship enterprise landed in the old world to mingle with the natives

One notable detail ommited here is Sotek not being an old one but a new deity (arriving basically simultaneously with sjgmar).

Thanks for keeping this series going! Warhammer has some of the richest lore of any RPG.

This was great! Could your next video be about which lizardmen care for the which specific beasts, lizardmen culture (If they have any), also perhaps their age cycles or something to that effect. If their isn't that much material, that's okay. I just like to learn more about these guys is all.

Guys try making a video about the kingdoms of Ind, the idea of a mixture of beastmen and humans living together is kinda intriguing.

My most loved race. Thank you for video. Just as I felt you will post,yesterday morning I started a Gor Rok campaign.

Awesome vid! cant wait to see you cover more of the warhammer fantasy races! Would love to see you do a series covering the 18 primarchs and their legions in detail as they have alot of depth and lore to discuss.

Looking forward to the rest of this series. Starting with the end times was a baffling choice even though the series its self was quite well done.

Favorite race. Happy I found this video.

NOW WE NEED MORE! More lore on the other races like the mummies and the vamps

What's not to like they are dinosaurs that can use magic and ride other dinos 🦖😮

hrmm...unless they changed the lore at some point, saurus warriors used to be utterly disciplined and cold blooded, and never suffered from any kind of predatory rage or frenzy in combat. In fact, they had the best leadership rolls in the game.

Good thing it's not the End Times. Seriously, when they said that Maleketh was really the Phoenix King, he just wasn't roasted enough....I flipped a table.

Ah, a fellow Dinosaur of culture.

*"we were the first, and we will be the last"*

Wait, teleporting? Oh wow, man, if only the geomantic web mechanic in total warhammer gave us that besides boosting commandments, you know those things that don't really save or break a battle/short local campaign? The Lizardman however are still my favorite, good durability, good roster, Temple guards a top favorite, Artillery are nasty no matter the range, sure the faction lacks some dedicated range infantry (The skinks with javelins do not count since they last a whole 2 seconds.) Their roster is good even if I want like skinks with spears and ground skink cavalry. Also in total warhammer, they are hilarious, so after every battle, their replenish option is them eating teh enemy, or their own, or both, however, this specific detail means some of their beasts do not benefit because the beasts are herbivores.

Lustria and all the Lizardman lore makes me remember some of the first descriptions of the Amazonas by Portuguese explorers. Like I was reading a book of History when I was younger in Portuguese schools. Great day this Sunday is. Enjoy it.

The Aztec dinosaurs, lizards, frogs, and reptile people like.

Appreciated, special props for old ones design. For their 40k counterpart, their true appearance was never shown. There were 2 old theories about who they ended up "devolving" into, at least those who supposedly survived the war in heaven - the slann(not sure if they are still canon at this point), and the snotlings(they are still canon afaik, as they are vital part of ork society still).

Your script, sound, arts, editing all is perfect on its own. Also skinks are quite cute

Love you continuing ur coverage of Warhammer Fantasy! I loved the End Times series so keep up the great work!

I'm down for this series

Very good Video, love listening to these while playing Total War. When is the next 40K video?

Please do the High Elves next!

Mesoamerican Lizardmen had me sold on warhammer fantasy. But boy have they butchered them in Age of Sigma. Miss the old Lizardman from the OG fantasy.

Basically the Old Ones were playing Spore.

Amazing video on my favorite faction :)

Excellent illustrations and animations, great job. Lizardmen are the best!

I hope this race gets included in the next update of the Old Realms Warhammer mod

Spared no expense!

Confirmed: the Slann helped create the Chaos Penguins and the Drop Bears!

Kroxigors from Age of Sigmar (Seraphon) are much more cunning and honored. (Even in the Old World, judging by the drawings that show them with great intelligence as well as great strength, just like Nakai)

This video was informative as hell

Hey, my boy Parathiax!!! A chameleon skink who survived and escaped the warp. AoS Lizardmen are also pretty damn cool. Basically the only race to survive by flying off in their pyramids, lol. It’s hinting that AoS was the plan all along, somehow.

red sonja....kull......more conan

Interesting civilization

Hell yeah!! more warhammer fantasy!!

Fantastic work in animation and narration.

MORE LIZARDMEN LORE, I BEG THY

Malazan please ❤❤

This is beauties presented thank you so much ♥️

Love the lizardman Great warriors and powerful allies I wish there were in Warhammer The end times vermintide 3

The funny reality of these creatures, would be that with scales so tough, there would be a lot of money and incentive to hunt and kill them to make armor out of them lol

Yes please more warhammer but no end times

commenting for malazan again ill never stop

Hell yeah, brother.

The title made me thibk this was a pancreasnowork vid

Lizardmen are the best race, I’ll die on that hill

Gods, I absolutely LOATHE the fat toads.

Glad that the end times didn't end looking at the lore of Warhammer much like it dose for everything else great video

God I love this channel

What are your thoughts on doing Narnia in the possible future?

Do the old ones look like they do here because of that one eldar exodite stone slab carvings? Head looks quite similar. Way better than frogpeople

The Redguards of Hammerfell

It's a bit weird to come out with this, since Lizardmen aren't in the new TOW release for Warhammer. However, I don't mind one bit...

No mention of the actual dinosaurs in lustria?

Great video!

As even hinted at in the new Old World rulebook: according to the plan of the Great Old Ones, this planet should be destroyed, which will give birth to the Mortal Realms!

Just 959 years until I get promoted to an Oldblood!

Old Ones look great!

My favourite race !

can we get a "skink" counter? no idea how you got devon to say it so often and so soberly.

Best faction by far

Isn’t lord krok a first span slann?

Great

Awesome!

I cant see why you wouldnt draw the old ones as toadlike similar to the slann, thats what they looked like according to lore

Do you use Wonderdraft to make your maps, if so what symbol packs do you use for trees mountains etc?

Marco Colombo. Basically Marco Polo and Cristoforo Colombo (Cristopher Columbus' real name).

Dinosaurs with culture? Thanks for making a video about my grandpa! To quite him "eeeeerrrgghhhmuuffluuufffluuuuffaaaarrrggghhhh!

Long live Warhammer fantasy reject AOS

Cool!

BOK BOK!!!

Hola Skinks!

Dinosaurs with culture? Sounds like the Senate.

Bok Bok! I love Saurus

HOLA SKINKS

I really hate that rolling boom sound effect.

BOK!

When 40k coming?

And they still refuse to wear pants
