    Saurus Oldblood
    Halberd
    Carnosaur
    Loping Stride

    Bastiladon

    How badly will this lose? I know I will flat out lose against warmachines, but there is only one person who actually uses them in my local. I don't care about being hyper competitive, but at the same time I don't want to flat out lose every game.

    So why take what I have? Well I love the big dinos, I think having the 3 up in the centre, with the skinks flanking would look cool and in my head could work....?

    Do you think I'll be crushed? :/

    How can you make dino lists competitive in small points?

    Might work ok, if you can keep your carnasaur with the 2 skink units,
    and the steg close enough for the 6+ ward, and counter charges.
    the blastidon can stay in the backfield and just shoot things.

    Ps. does your oldblood have light armor and a shield, might be worth it to swap the halberd with the +1 strength magic weapon, it you have the points left.

    That was pretty much my thinking too.

    I think I'm just a little bored of the bread and butter lizzie lists which I usually run. Problem I feel is that we don't have a lot of different army comps at lower levels.

    What kind of Basti? I suggest Lazerdon.

    I think it will work. It'll be super fun too! I would definitely use a flank-denial tactic with that army though. Hit 'em from one side and keep on rollin'. At 1200 there wont be much to hold up a Carno and Steg in tandem.

    This will indeed not work against Dwards, so i will not keep hammering that one home. This is a fast list, hammering it home on the charge. You lack magic, a lot of tournament armies will have LV 4 wizard in them to exploit the strong magic in low points, a Skink Priest would not be off in this list to improve the list. This might work against some lists, but in around 70% of the time, i will give the advantage to your opponent solely due to your list.

    Won 2, lost 1. Not too bad really!

    Won against a chaos river troll army and a block infantry lizardmen.

    Lost against big blocks of frenzied, hater beastmen with GW. He also managed to one shot my carno on turn one with amber spear. So I was totally crushed that game.

    Pretty sweet! Congrats.

    Sucks about the Carno being wiped out turn one.
