Here's a question for everyone, do people like to use special characters like Kroak or not? I prefer not to use pre-made characters and invent my own characters and story lines. Let me know what you all think.
I like Kroak I think he's great, but I've never played a big enough game to warrant using him. I always find that I'd rather have 2 2nd Gen Slanns. I guess you've got to give him a go at some point though, if only for comedy value!
I think if you're planning on having an Old-blood on a Carnosaur, it's worth the extra points to take Kroq-Gar. He hits harder, he forces leadership tests like a mad-man, and if he dies, you don't have to worry about the Carnosaur suddenly becoming unbreakable.... and immobile. I like the idea of Lord Kroak, but I just don't think he's worth that many points.
