Well, with sign of the Mage's Staff, Astrolith, and the built in bonus on slann, trog, & Kroak, we can have a lot of +3 to casting.
Salamanders looks pretty good! Also good thing I didn't build any Rippers yet, as Terradons now seem to be way more usable than before aswell as better looking. I still can't fully get over the fact that the skink on top has more rend than the troglodon, but if that stays my biggest problem I'm definitely ok with that.
They are Subfactions. But the Deepstriking and +3" move turn one are great. If we have other battalions that give us low drops we can utilize them to alpha strike real hard. I see how what I said wasn't clear though.
Give me a link to the warscrolls or explain, how to find them. All I see are our standard box and using search didn't help too.
Saurus Warrios with spears and fully buffed with the Serpents Staff on them as well will do a lot of damage.
Well, of course i've got 9 rippers that now will be almost worthless. What on hell i didn't wait, some months ago!?! It wasn't that hard to keep 3 on sprue. You have no idea how much i'm angry with myself
Now we just need to see the battalions, Spells, Artefacts, and Command Traits. This is looking very very good though.
I have 6, but I'm not giving up on them. At least, throwing them to the trashcan won't help anyway, right?
I must say the only thing I don't like is the fact that we have no saurus characters. But I mean the cost for a carno vs a maw krusha we can almost take 2 carnos for the same price.
weight of numbers ftw. Also, yaay skink heroes actually get a halfway decent shooting attack so they get to do something from the backline aside from look pretty after casting their 1 buff. Seriously, do we have a GW member reading our forum, there's so many things in there that've been suggested on here by various members it's getting suspicious. Also, skink priest + starpriest +stegadon with alpha is gonna be funny to buff up skink units - get a stegadon with alpha - Get a skink priest - get a starpriest: Cast all the buffs. You now have a stegadon with: +1 to all melee attacks +1 to hit hit rolls of 6 become mortal wounds Can run shoot & charge or has a 2+ save in a duel (or 2+ against 1 target and 3+ against everyone else) That's some fairly amazing synergy, and that's without artifacts, command traits, subfaction bonusses & battalions.
I did some testing and a new carnosaur with a dimensional blade (rend 3) can take out a maw krusha fairly handily
