I'd take the one of the reddish crested variety personally.

Indeed. The sacrifice mechanic's probably the lizardmen's best too.

Depends if you want a sneaky skink army or one that can stand up and fight for a bit. If you are fine with micromanaging for a hit and run army, go Oxyotl while Tehenauin is better for a more straightforward approach

tenenhuan have 750 sacrifice skink lords with legendary trait. -40% upkeep for skinks, another one has 10%phy resist to all units in lords army, 10% weapons dmg and some other minor goodies. however the problem with skinks are that their low melee atk really hurts them in end game and they only get defense buffs via lord skills no atk at all. So Oxyotal that gives +9 atk/def might be over all better.

Tehenhauin gives you +20 armour, +8 melee defence, +8 melee attack and +10 leadership if you go down the fanatic route. Combine that with skirmisher rank 3 for +12% weapon strength and another +8 melee defence, 3 chevron gold experience and spawn kin's +5 melee defence, + 5 leadership and +15% missile resistance, and yeah that should work nicely.

Tehenhauin, hands down.

If you wish to focus on a strong skink based army, he's the lord to go. His sacrifise system works wonders. Skinks in his army are crazy strong.

Not to mention, there's some banners only he can get with the sacrifise system which are just broken strong. +30% wardsave or +30% weapon strength and +20 Armor piercing damage, yes that last one has BOTH the weapon strength and flat armor piercing bonus.

In his army, even generic skink coherts, without javelin, can out last and out kill Chosen with Great weapons.

Get passed his start on the Vortex map. (which to me is the hardest start in game) and he just gets so strong.

Edit: And yes, let's not forget what Brownacs said. His fanatic buff line just overbuffs Skinks that would make Grom goblins feel inadequate.

Nah all things considered tehen only gives +8 atk to his own armies. 20 more armor - his own armor only- by end game is nothing special. He does have a rite that gives further skink buffs but it has a long cool down in between, also his cult of sotek manifestation lv 3 gives 10% phy resist to all armies too you can count that in. In the long run all things considered I'd STILL take oxyotal's 9 leadership +9 atk +9 def for ALL his armies over tehen's buffs and followers. Oxyotal's silent sanctums can help with the upkeeps for defending armies which is also quiet nice. Plus, oxyotal is the only faction to have SUITABLE CLIMATE for all, which helps his eco too.

The +20 armour is for all skinks and bastilodons in his army (disciples of Sotek: it's the 2nd skill in the fantatic subset). Otherwise don't particularly disagree with any of that even though I'd personally take Tehenhauin (if only it weren't for the damned start Rianne mentioned). To each their own and all that.

[Gorwe]

Tehen. Not only due to his faction's effects, but also because of Beast Magic(little Oxy has probably a better effect overall, but he don't have built in Magic - huge difference!). That one has a lot of AoE buffs / debuffs, allowing Skinks to truly shine. I'd just recommend something, anything, to get rid of arty and, most critically, casters. Itza can work too(just abuse Kroak).

^ lizardmen caster can get stegadon mounts, so they actually fit in nicely. If you go into ambush stalkers for your whole army then put the skink priest on a Teradon will also fit in very well. Also remember beast magic competes with other army buff/lightning strike/upkeep redu for limited skill points, you will be very skill point starved until you get him lv 30+.

Tehen does give skinks quiet a big boost and overall army boost is definitely better, but if we are talking about skink skink everywhere game play oxyatal is the best hands down.

Now if only we have a special skaven lord that buffs only skaven slaves for an....interesting....skaven slaves campaign. Like, you known...make skaven slave explode and something like that...
