Scupltor .... well to find that out you need to trace down the WFB Scupltor for the Lizardman army.
The GD Lizardman team was released in the year 2000 at Games Day US and was created by simply modeling arms that didn't have weapons for the most part and then using the WFB body with minor modifications (which is pretty much what they did to create the Amazon team as well).
Reports vary on the number of teams created as original GW claimed they made only 45 ... but since that time communication with other GW members has revealed that the number was more like 200 to 250.
When originally sold the team came with the Saurus, Skink, WFB Lizardman Shaman, and Kroxigor figs but the Kroxigor was sold missing a tail so you had to call GW and order a WFB Kroxigor tail to complete him.
Later AFTER Games Days, other companies and GW bundled the team with some WFB Lizardman Musicians to make extra money off the then very popular team (however in a true collector sense these should not be considered part of the team; any more so then the WFB figs GW-US is currently selling as BB assistant coaches).
Finally, when JJ decided to create Fanatic. GW-US and GW-UK got into an intellectual property argument over the design of the team, and JJ called the whole thing off and had Mark Bedford scuplt the current official BB Lizardman team.
That's the brain dump of what I know about the team.

Since we're on the topic of lizzies..
When the re-sculpt of the Lizardman team was released, wasn't there 2 new versions of the Kroxigor? Are they both still in production, or has it been limited to just one now? I can't seem to find but one in the online store (GWUS). |

In my opinion, Fanatic's Lizzie team sucks big time. I'm gonna use the extremely hip new plastics for the Newt Orleans Kroakers 
The sculptor of the Lizzie BB team is Mark Bedford, by the way. The new plastics are from Colin Grayson (Saurus) and Mark Harrison (Skinks). And I believe Brian Nelson did the Saurus Oldblood and Juan Diaz did the Slann.

| I didn't realise GW-UK and GW-US would get in a ruck over IP - surely it either belongs to both of them or ultimately any parent company (i.e. the UK one?) |

I didn't even think it was possible, myself. I thought GW was GW regardless of where they're based. |

They are two seperate companies that work together frequently. And yes they have IP issues with each other at times. The Lizardman team is a great example. There is no parent company.
