Funny enough this is remarkably similar to my own half-formed ideas on your eventual fleet composition - it'd start with very simple shapes like the arrowheads, and gradually build up to more and more geometrically complex shapes as the ships get bigger.
Well, I made a thread that I'm going to force myself to post in every day, either to report that I've written something for either of my quests or to write a random thing, so not bad overall.
Yup! You'd need a freshly dead slann though, can't use Relic Priest parts.
To be more accurate, not yet.
Problem is that during/in the lead up to the Great Crusade there were Orks that were quickly building up steam to go Krork.
Namely the Warlord of Ullanor.

What show's that from, Stargate? I gotta get around to watching that one of these decades.Something something Atlantis.
Depends on if I see anything else worth taking. Right now everything I've seen from them is either something I'm not doing or have already planned for. I'll have to wait till the Krork get around to fighting them until I can say for sure.

So
A little while back, we were talking about lizardmen equivalents to lasguns, and xantalos taked about laser spears
That got me to thinking, and so I created this
@Xantalos
BEHOLD!
THE LASER SPEAR
It's more of a guan dao type spear than anything the lizardmen might use, but I think it works well

It even has the Custodes-esque 'gun is at the front of the weapon' motif.

Tehuilotic ilhuicateotl
(lit) Crystal God of Heavens
Genius Loci
A powerful crystal that draws upon the geomantic energy generated by the city to which it has been bonded. This crystal hovers high above the city, orbited by carven stone slabs that depict Slann from ages past. The crystal is, in a sense, alive, and protects the city on its own. It is capable of powering, activating, and directing the enchantments and geomantic energy of the city at any intruder it perceives as a threat, or can be directed by Skink Priests or Slann mage-lords. The Genius Loci, is not primarily a weapon. Instead it acts as a battery and capacitor storing geomantic energy for the purpose of fueling great rituals, and as an emergency power source in case the web is ever disrupted. The Genius Loci is capable of projecting a barrier over the city, and can cooperate with other cities, bearing other crystals, to project a barrier over a wide geographic area, or an entire planet. The Genius Loci is also capable of operating the Teootl Tepetl in both offensive and defensive activities.
In some ways, the Genius Loci is itself alive. It will act to thwart and deter any potential threat to itself or its lizardman masters. It is aware of its immediate surroundings and can act on its own to intervene against these threats with no direction or attention from the Skink priests or Slann.
Teootle Teptl
(lit) God of the mountain/God of the Hill
Giant Stone Spirit
Massive engraved statues made from various stones, bronze, and precious metals. Generally, these monuments are carved from interlocking stone segments that make up the limbs, torso, and head. Their eyes are made from obsidian glass, or precious gemstones or crystal. The brain, heart, and gut are often made up of enchanted gold and covered in hundreds of thousands of tiny glyphs and covered in stone. The nerves and blood vessels are made of true silver. Their stone limbs also hide bones of bronze covered in similar glyphs. Strangely enough, these statues do not depict any sub-species of the Lizardmen. Instead they seem to be depictions of humanoid entities. These statues, ranging from several stories to several dozen stories in height, are normally inactive. In their inactive state they do not respond to any stimuli and are as inanimate as their components may suggest.
However; when infused with geomantic energy, these statues glow with an inner blue light. They crackle with the magical energy, and lines depicting glyphs and enchantments begin to glow. The statue becomes motile and begins to move about.
The Teootle Teptl are mobile hubs of geomantic energy. Most often, they are associated with the Genius Loci which will activate them and direct them to deal with threats that might be more then a Saurus can deal with alone. They can connect to the geomantic web and can vent the energy as deadly beams of blue light out of their hands and eyes. They are also capable of manipulating this energy via their bronze skeleton and can project shields and barriers as needed. So long as they are close enough to the web, they can also draw upon the magic of the web to facilitate limited self-repair.
When away from the cities of the lizardmen, they can be piloted via ritual. The skink priest would project their soul out of their body and into the Teootle Tepetl. Once within they could have access to all of its capabilities and magical energy. While they eventually run out of energy for their more esoteric abilities, they will always have the charge needed to move about under their own power. Teootle Tepetl also often carry massive enchanted weapons in their hands, as a backup when they run out of energy for their ranged and support abilities.

Atlantis: The Lost Empire ?

Yes.
Edit: My thinking is that the Teootle Tepetl would depict the Old Ones, as the Slann and Lizardmen usually depict them as humanoids of some sort.
This is also inspired by the Tomb Kings, as the Nehekharans were taught their magic by the lizardmen and by the Slann.

I don't know why... but now I kind of want to see some unit proposals based off of the Coutle from Rise of Legends.
Than again their entire theme is sufficently advanced technology aztecs.

Approved! I can put those as Sacred Site stuff pretty easily once you guys unlock those.
JDFJASDLKASJ I've been looking for that damn game for years but couldn't remember its name for the life of me. Those guys were one of the many sparks of inspiration that contributed to the creation of this quest in the first place.
It's a darn good game and that was when it was half finished.
Like I can totally immagine 40k lizardmen making a units based off of the Coutle Death snakes that's dedicated to Sotek as a sort of large vs large unit.

I've honestly forgotten almost everything about it so I'm gonna go see if I can't find some video footage of it somewhere. Mayhaps it'll have some inspiration for something here.
