That still leaves the Lizardmen... There seem to be a lot of people
out there who aren't too familiar with their fluff; Lizards are
definite 'Good Guys' and much is made of the fact that their main
enemies are Chaos, Skaven and Dark Elves. Personally, I see Tomb Kings
as more neutral than evil, certainly in comparison to the Vampire
Counts.
On a lizardy tangent, am I alone in suspecting that the new High Elf
releases will be tied into the Lustria campaign? Assuming four major
armies for the campaign GW will probably need two good and two bad
armies, and aside from Lizardmen High Elves of the Fortress of Dusk
are the only good guys based in Lustria. Their only common enemy seems
to be Luthor Harkon, so I can see a storyline in which HE and Lizards
are up against Vampire Coast Undead. The fourth army would likely be
Clan Pestilens.

I like to plan armies in advance personally, but if you can get games
in during the early months learning what works and what doesn't as you
go along and so what you'll need to buy could be helpful.
