I'd say Lizards. I love dinosaurs.

brets atm are pretty damn low on the pecking order. My vote would be for lizards if this is your first army.

Lizards are a very strong army, a relatively new book, very competitive and can support a few different play styles.
Brets on the other hand are an old dated book with a very one dimensional style of play. Brets do however look fantastic on the table and have some very unique and cool rules.
If I were to choose I'd personally have a hard time. I love the imagery of both. If it is truly a toss up the Lizards would be the better buy.
Talk to me more about what drew you to those two armies? Lets dig deeper and see what we find. Imagery? Play style? Ease of use? Drawn at random?

Tim I really like the way they both look I think the Brets look a little bit better, my style of play is very offensive thats why I like the idea of having a all calvary army like the Brets. The thing i really like about the Lizards is the saurus warriors I'd want to just have a horde of them if I play lizards.

Well don't let the fact that a new book is somewhere on the horizon (likely) but not till late this year if at all. No matter what they do the book calvary will still be key (it better be anyway!).
I personally like the idea of Brets and as a bonus no one will call you cheesy for playing them. 2nd bonus, you can say you had them before the new book if they do become super cheese. Units of Bretonia lances also look stunning on the table.
Almost anything you do with Lizards will work. They have hard troops, good skirmishers, flyers, monsters and arguably the best magic/caster in the game.

I love Brets my self, and love how they look. If I were to go with a second fantasy army they would be it, how ever I don't see that happening soon. I think that the models of both armies are amazing. I haven't seen either of them be played, but I can say that the brets probably would have no trouble punching through half of my Orc & Goblin army, but the lizardmen I think can get way more people. I love the looks of both the armies, but I don't know either of them that well so don't take this to much into account.

Today I picked up a box of Bretonnia Knights and a army book for them.
