I've been in love with the Carnosaur model for a while and with the 50% hero allowance gives me the opportunity to go for a dual list which also has 2 Stegadons to give me some target saturation and hopefully negate the inevitable massed cannon fire. Before the Ripperdactyls crash into the cannons and tear them to shreds. Scarnosaur w/Great Weapon AoD, blood roar (general or BSB?) Scarnosaur w/steg helm, biting blade, light armour, shield, blood roar (general or BSB?) Skink Priest level 1 Beasts Tetto 36 Saurus w/full command 10 Skink Skirmishers 10 Skink Skirmishers 10 Skink Cohort bunker for Tetto w/champion and banner 3 Rippers 3 Rippers Baby Steg w/sharpened horns Mama Steg w/sharpened horns Which gives me exactly 2400 points of dual Carno, dual Steg, dual Ripper target saturation with a Saurus anvil (because I want to paint them) and the awesomeness of Tetto. My big query is the kit of my Scar Vets. One will be the general, the other a BSB. One is going the stereotypical Armour of Destiny and Great Weapon while the other will have the Stegadon Helm (because I love the modelling possibilities) and I really need a magic weapon otherwise I'm going to be struggling against ethereals. So, oh wise ones, which kit would you suggest I give to the general and which to the BSB?
Nice list, you squeezed a lot of dinos into a 2400 point list. All else equal, I value BSBs more the Generals, so do most of my foes. In a Slann-less army, I defend my BSB more than I defend my General. Scarnosaur Number Two has slightly better armor, so I will nominate him as the BSB. EDIT: I didn't catch "AoD" immediately, assuming that's Armor of Destiny, make THAT one the BSB. Make sure you already included the cost of 12.5 SS in your list or you'll have to drop something.
why saurus? really? u just field them to be slain, thats all? to reach the minimum core? They are useless, and your list doesnt support them. Fill core with skinks. Period. Why baby steg? Ancient>baby. You should really reconsider the equipments of the carno riders: give general as a minimum: charmed shield, talisman of preservation, great weapon, light armor. bsb: armor of destiny, shield, great weapon. note: hel'll have only 2+ in cc, but most players tend to kill the monster first, so no worries. also, you want your carnos in cc as soon as possible--> looping stride first, if you have free points then bloodroar.
