    (pssst: no point values. Read the forum rules. We've all got the rulebook anyway)

    I like the list. My personal preference is non-slann lists. I find them more fun! More big dinos :D

    I don't know about the sword of anti-heroes, but it could work.

    Definitely reduce both skirmishers to 10, and add the others into a 3rd unit of 10 if you want them. It'll give you more breathing room at deployment, will make them more manoeuvrable, you can harass more units, and only the front 2 ranks get to shoot anyway.

    I don't go for solo krogiors personally, but each to their own.

    One major thing is that, while Carnosaurs, and stegadons are great fun, they will get shot to hell by warmachines. You have no war machine hunters. This is a bad idea. At the very least, swap one of the skirmisher units for chameleon skinks, or terradons if you like.

    Good question... that's just my reaction. I find them to be too fragile on their own. Hmmm. It's just a conclusion I came to, but don't remember why. There's a few threads on here somewhere, discussing the pros and cons of it.

    As I said, it seems very much personal preference, so go wild.

    You can get +2 attacks for it points less with a sword from the BRB.

    Your BSB could really use a shield.

    Your Priest would probably get more mileage out of a Dawnstone than that sword. The Stegadon can do much more in a fight.

    Just my $0.02.
