So, looked it up online and it looks like Bronze was actually the preferred metal for cannons until about the 1900s when nations could really increase quality control on iron cannons. Also Bronze seems to be safer when it fails (the barrel would tear long ways rather than the back just exploding) than iron, did so less often, and due to construction stuff a bronze cannon was actually lighter than an iron cannon of similar barrel width. It just wasn't used as much due to expenses. There might be a slight issue of continuous fire... But magic could probably sort that out.

Do we have a short term, mid term and long term plan?

For me personnally:

Short: Kill Fog Demon and take over planet
Mid: Establish Lizardmen stellar territory and build up to provide assistance to the various expedition out there (i.e. Kroak), as well as start getting client races (guiding and modifying their Gods to provide anti-Chaos bulwark for said races' souls) and crush any Chaos tainted areas we can reach.
Long: Galactic geomantric web to shank Chaos Gods with and close every warp storm and dispel every daemonworld that exists in this galaxy.

There's also the fact that the bronze you have isn't exactly human bronze, but a much stronger alloy made from a specially-designed recipe that came with the tablets. It's closer to steel in some ways, it's just that bronze makes for a better look. Lizardmen gotta be a colorful army.

Lizardmen can't march against their enemies without a little bling, am I right.

It's part of your faction aesthetic. As you get enchanted gear, your stuff starts glowing various different colors in correspondence to which kinds of magical effects are being channeled through it, and in what amounts. In conjunction with all the other sorts of magical auras and stuff that will be commonly occurring during battle and stuff, it means that your armies eventually look like a constantly-shifting cascade of colors.

So what you're saying is the real Coatl was the gear we made along the way?

Rembrancer recreation of Lizardmen Fifty-Seventh Legion's last stand against Iron Warriors at Iron Tail City Center, 965.M30.
 
Not Serious: Does that mean that we'd have to preempt all battles with a notice of possible seizure warning to our enemies once we really get going?

Just wait until we meet up with the Imperium, and find Adamantium, Plasteel, and Ceramite. Also Power Armor. Because why not have a Dread Saurian in Magical Adamantium Power Armor?

Then we make ensouled power armor (iron golems, but better), then we look at the spawning pools and experiment a little with the definition of what can be made living ...

C'Tan weren't classically biological and I assume they have souls? That would be an example for alternate forms of life. So, why not spawn something like Necrons, just sane and ensouled? Or something still better ...
Edit: Alternate in the sense of not tied to that Carbon molecule.

Based on the C'Tan's complete lack of ability to effect the warp, I'm not sure they DO have souls.
 
So, after finally watching the new DLC trailer after I remembered it came out, @Xantalos are the Lizardmen going to get a new kind of Magical Nuke and will Teninhuan get a Mount now?

Teninhuan won't get a specific mount since I want to keep the option of him riding a summoned snake daemon of Sotek into battle open at a later point, but he can definitely be put on a Stegadon or something in battle, as can any other hero unit that doesn't have a named mount. The orbital laser thing I'm gonna have to wait until the DLC itself comes out so I can see what exactly it is and analyze it for ideas.

Just off the cuff of my eyeball it looks like the Skink is calling down a beam from the Sun. Like some invocation to Chotec or something.
 
It's no orbital laser or anything, just how an ability/spell is displayed, possibly the Burning Alignment of the Engine of the Gods

Remember how Warp Lightning, the spell, is a blast of emerald lightning straight down from the sky?
 
Yeah, hard to tell off-hand, but it kinda looked like Teninhuan was invoking some function of his Plaque to perform that attack? In which case yeah, it could verywell just be an existing function of the wargear you already have. Gonna have to wait until it releases to be sure.
 
Just because they don't have orbital lasers in the total war game, doesn't mean we can't make them here. I fully expect to have some kind of crazy shenanigans like that going for us by the time we've got this entire planet converted to a single massive Temple-City. Let alone when we've got entire sectors converted.
