Lizardmen VS. Vampire Counts(Orcs and Goblins Style)

So as a number of my friends know I've been looking at a new army that I have been dying to get my hands on. Its vampire counts but with a orc & goblin twist, via a 3rd party modeling company called Titan Forge. They make a line of models that are basically undead orcs and goblins. Which here is a shot of some Zomblins :
Now the rest of the models are pretty badass, and they have ideas for most everything in the Vampire Count army book. So right now I fully plan on doing at least a small force or them just for fun. Since I currently own around 8000 points of regular orcs and goblins(which i got for around $250 because of an awesome deal). I could easily convert some non painted models into undead models. Along with using some regular Vampire Count models and these undead orcs and goblin models. The army would mesh perfectly with my orcs. Plus it would look fantastic together in a team game.  But after seeing the video below I was sold on a full scale army project.

But hereis my dilemma, I currently own 2 fantasy armies being Orcs & Goblins and Lizardmen. Lizardmen were the first models I ever collect and the first army I ever played so they have a special place in my heart. I only want 2 armies for fantasy since they are so expensive to collect and time consuming to paint. But after seeing this video:
I was in love with the models and wanted to collect them all. But that would mean dropping my lizardmen if I wanted to go full bore into this army.  So I ask of you, people who happen to read my blog which isn't many since most people don't care about my painting or what I do for fun. Which do you think I should do. Keep it to a small force of 1500 or less, and keep the lizardmen? Or sell the lizardmen and make an amazing custom Vampire Counts army?

As a comparison of pictures you can go to this LINK to see some pictures of the lizardmen army. I love the story of the lizardmen and the models as well. So hence why I am so torn. I love both armies stories and both of the armies models. Play style isn't that big of a deal to me but will play a role in my decision. Help me decide readers, post a comment on what you feel I should do. You dont have to follow me to post just post anonymously.
