That is a good solid list. Something I was wondering though, are the flaming attacks from the salamander considered a breath weapon?...Because we only get one shot from breath weapons now. I ask because in the Lizards book it says "Determine which models are hit as per a breath weapon." I am sure GW will change it in the Errata in a couple days, but I was wondering about this for my lizards as well.

As I read it they were just telling you to use the breath template rules. I think the "Breath Weapon" attack/special ability doesn't apply since the rule is actually the flame gout.

This is just my interpretation of it though.

That is how I read it too, but I thought I would ask a second opinion in case I have a rules lawyer try to argue the other way. So, how did the salamanders do in your last game?

I actually haven't run them yet. I played around with my points to put in the Skink/Kroxigor unit, so that left me some additional points to figure out...

I'm hoping that with the new template rules I can put them on my extreme flanks, march them up, and gout the sides of blocks of infantry.
