Overview of the Slann
The Slann have always been a peaceful race. Once they travelled the stars, fertilizing worlds with the seeds of evolution and tweaking alien races to evolve along a certain path. Their actions made them almost gods, yet they were able to keep from breaking down like the Eldar.
Many millenia ago, the Slann decided to stop moving through the galaxy and settled down in the northern systems. They have since left the other races alone to evolve along their own paths. However, they have not always been left alone, and sometimes the Slann are forced to go to war to protect their worlds. When they do, the specially trained warbands, along with the genetically engineered reptilian races they breed for protection, travel the stars once more, destroying any threats to their peace.
Why Collect A Slann Army
The Slann army is an interesting army to play. It contains physically weak main forces that are forced to use their weapons to do the fighting for them, and powerful hand to hand troops. A balance must be found to win with this army, making it a challenge to play, while still being fun.
The Slann army also is fun to model and paint. Using a range of Lizardmen and "frogmen" models from different miniatures ranges, you can come up with almost any look for your own personal warband! This diversity of models is a nice catch for modellers.
