WIP - A re-edit of my previous post :-
I’ll trying to develop a Slann/Lizardman army list for warhammer (for any edition you care to use) so here are my initial thoughts - please comment if you think I’m off beam or on the right track because this may easily go off side-ways.
The history of the Warhammer world is reasonable well know to those who are interested in such things and so I’ll only briefly mention it, when I think I need to, so forgive me, if this seems poorly referenced.
The Slann arrived on the old world (I'm running with 2nd edition here) and in their infinite wisdom persecuted the indigenous Cold-blood (Lizardman) population, driving them underground and into the further reaches of the wilderness with their science/magic - something the Lizardmen had no need or contact with, up to this point. Where the lizardmen couldn’t hide/run free, they reluctantly fell under the influence of the Slann - where they were used as a disposable labour / defence force when required.
Then at the height of their powers - came the great fall of the Slann and the entry of Chaos into the old world - leaving the ‘new races’ to rise & fall on their own.
Now here’s my summary of ideas for developing this list;
The original Cold-bloods(Lizardmen) were always living underground (ambient temperature and all that), so had access to the whole plant before the Slann arrived; they had no concept of science/magic as they simply didn’t need it; Their a long-lived race so their ideas of self are different to our own, so may appear dumb/stupid/slow, they’re not, they just consider all options before acting; thus they simply retired away from the Slann’s transgressions to contemplate their response, and so as the world turned and the Slann fell from grace - the Cold-bloods reviewed the changing circumstances and saw a very different world - so, to ensure their place in the world they integrated with the remaining Slann rather than take revenge (as I said before they have a different perspective - the Slann could help them defend themselves against the ‘new’ races with their remaining magic/ science and thus are held in high regard). Knowing little about Cold-bloods I’m informed by others that Cold- bloods have some very interesting reproduction options which aren’t open to the other races - cross genus, self fertilization etc etc. So, makes for some interesting options in the development of the sub-species and thus Army lists.
Enjoy

As I've a long weekend off - I'll mull over my library and other sources and place my thoughts on an army list here in due course for you to contemplate & comment on 
, no doubt to be shot down in flames
