Not Kermit the Slann? Or should that be Quermit?

I have plans for a Skink Chief named Tokaigequo, but there aren't
actually that many lizard or frog names that sound 'Maya-ish' enough.

Neither is a very demanding army in terms of special rules (though the
Lizardmen make a lot of use of skirmishers). The High Elves are a very
'traditional' WFB race, with the usual complement of close combat
infantry, ranged infantry, heavy cav, fast cav, skirmishers, flyers
and war machines, and more heavily-based around blocks of infantry and
regiments of cavalry.

Because there are so few SM Chapter lists... If the Lizard campaign is
a major one, I doubt they would - two major campaigns means 4-6 months
of campaign over the course of a year and attendant miniature releases
for each one. On the other hand it isn't impossible - aside from the
Tyranid Codex there doesn't seem too much else going on in either
system this year.
