I recently catch Up with The Old World and try to be creative with the tools they gave us.

For context I'm using 1.5.1 patch and Renegade. I see only a few lads posting around and I want to debate some out of the box ideas. With some fluff to have some fun.

Now the question is, do you think it's worth to have the ruby ring on temple guard champion? I should just remove 4 skinks to make place for it.

Usually I don't play it on a Slann since he has to be inside dispel range of level 4, this mean usually it don't go through. However maybe the champion could be just...

I had a Slann with BSB Sorcerous void, Earthen rod and High Magic. Got all spells except ethereal and reserve move (the number 1).
I played against O&G and it didn't so well, couldn't cast fiery convocation two times (yeah even with +1 of ancient stegadon did twice 9) and those time i casted it it moved quite a lot and made few kills.
Then i notice that the ward save (shield of sapphire) only...

I've enjoyed reading many threads on here about the undeniable efficiency of Saurus Scar-Veterans and Oldbloods on Cold Ones. They typically get a great weapon and gear that grants a 1+ armour save and 4+ ward save. I've also browsed conversations about how Carnosaur-mounted characters are cool but vulnerable to cannons.

However here I'm interested in discussing Saurus on foot. Nothing is more compelling to me than a staunch lizard boye marching and fighting with his Saurus...

I’ve read @Scalenex’s tactica (which is fantastic) but what I’d really like is Some concepts of how people have used them.

They seem very pricey for a 1 wound model (even with the 2+ save) and their high points means that fielding a large unit is very expensive and a potentially huge loss.

Can anyone share their experiences with me?...

Strengths: Kroxigor hit at Strength 7, move at a speed of 6 and can cross over swamps, lakes, and rivers freely. Speed and offensive power is nice. They also have a nice Strength 5 Stomp.

Weaknesses: Kroxigor are fairly brittle for their size with only Toughness 4 and a 4+ Armor save. Coupled with ASL, this means they can’t take a...

In the old rules: Kroxigor were in the second rank, but could reach over the Skinks to attack (ie. Supporting Attacks). The enemy model in base contact with a Skink can be attacked, as well as being able to attack that Kroxigor- the rules clearly state this under "Great Reach".

Make him ethereal and it becomes like a little dragon (making although no damage) perfect to stop enemy infantries. The "only" problem is that he need 1) a good assailment spell 2) cannot dispel anymore or cast anything else. With warbanner and maybe arcane familiar he will cost 425...not few points to use such tactics....

Armour save is still a solid 3+
