AoS @Dread-Saurian got updated.

Big boy just got a lot bigger for 510 points.

 

That statline can't be only 510 pts can it?

 

It is very meh offensively for the points, but this is absolutely compensated by tankiness. It is cheaper than carnosaur on point-for-wound basis.

 

Loses the healing per hero phase I can take that hit for roar of ruin to half enemies bravery and the charge effect of adding d3 wounds I get as many wounds as skalok sure a 4+ save whoop dee doo. I took a hit in the raking claws for attacks but npw theyre a 2+ to hit. The bracketing on it is fair in my opinion. Solid as fuck remake and I havea firm seat in the coalesed

 

It cant be buffed by the skink priest since its missing the skink keyword. It can get a 3d6 charge though

 

Very true very true. But BUT I get a sick as fuck mortal wounds to everyone when I die on a 4+

 

Thunder Lizard combined with Star Seer for better save and wounds.
Then add Emerald Lifeswarm.....scary

 

i will test him as soon as possible. i like the extra wounds on him, everyone is pushing mortal wounds this days.

when will the warscroll builder be updated?

A nm, i see there is already a topic about the warscroll builder

 

i think so too.
more wounds make him much beavier then a good save.
and it can still do a lot of dmg with its flat 6 dmg bite.

 

My god that’s a beefy boy! And he doesn’t get bracketed until it’s taken 12 wounds!

 

Yeah, that’s a shame, stupid oversized base at least he can just charge into a few blobs and wreck some stuff before he gets hacked to pieces...that is, if he can get around the terrain...

 

Dread works best in star lizard lists. He is the thing the opponent spends their first 2-3 turns trying to deal with while you build up your summoning and take objectives.

 

Offensively, it’s a step above two carnosaurs, and for its price point it’s not incredible. However as others have said, that sheer ability to tank damage is huge. I could see some potential for it, but you’d almost certainly want to support it, probably with a starpriest, an EotG or lifeswarm for healing, and a decent sized skink screen

 

you may not want to support it. Seems like They want you to treat him like mortarion. You throw him in your opponents face, prefferably sideways so he blocked a giant part of the board off, and then let the opponent deal with him while taking damage, and then when he dies he hopefully finishes things off with mortals.

 

But this guy screams to have Control Fate and Hand of Glory on him. But it doesn't benifit from CP abilities, which is still good. I view him as kroxigors x4.

 

You don’t view him as a double carnosaur? Provided I’m not sure if you also snort carnosaurs...

 

I mean, just like Kroxigors, he cannot be buffed to heavens, but still very decent with minimal support. This make him way closer to kroxigors.
