Excerpt: The Lizardmen are an army in the Warhammer game, overall poor ranged attacks with strong melee combat and exeptional magic. In earlier versions of the setting (up to and including the 3rd edition of Warhammer Fantasy Battle and the 1st edition of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay) there was a separate Slann army based in Lustria. The background story of the Warhammer world described its creators as the 'Old Slann' or 'Old Ones' interchangeably. These were the ancestors of the current Slann, froglike creatures who once ruled Lustria in a great empire with an Inca, Aztec and Maya feel, leaving behind a legacy of high-tech/magical items called Power Weapons, made of a mysterious black substance. Forces available to this army as allies or enemies included humanoid pygmies with blowguns and Amazonian warrior-women, as well as lobotomised slave-soldiers. In the third edition the warrior Slann were separated into various totem warrior groups, e.g. 'Jaguar' and 'Alligator,' wearing the skins of their totem animals. Slann warriors rode Cold Ones into battle (as did Dark Elves) - a role taken by the Saurus in the current Lizardmen army. Lizardmen were a race entirely unrelated to the Slann, and who inhabited the deep caverns underneath Goblin lairs and Dwarf strongholds in the mountains east of the Old World. They were described one of the native creatures of the Warhammer world before the coming of the Old Ones. The Slann had no use for the Lizardmen and they were driven underground. In the current version, the Old Ones created the Slann as their servants, and created the Saurus as their bodyguards from the creatures already living on the World. The Skinks were created as craftsmen and leaders of the temple cities. The history of the Lizardmen as described in the current edition begins with the arrival of the Old Ones in the Warhammer world; some of the Slann traveled among the stars with their godlike masters. When the Old Ones arrived on the warhammer world, they settled in Lustr.
