So a long time ago I thought it could be cool to make sort of a "real" list dinosaur army book for warhammer, not many exciting ideas came out of this, though I do think my raptors made for quite an interesting concept in battle (Or I might be wrong, judging these things are not really my specialties). I would imagine their fluff if they exists in the lizardmen army to be something like this:
Pack hunting big reptilian birds would surely be the best description of these animals. Even though they have feathers they cannot fly, though there light bones grant them with a very high speed and jumping capability. Further unique aspects about these animals, when comparing to other birds are that they have sharp teeth in their mouth and clawed hands they use to slash their prey with. They've also got a huge sickle formed claw on there feet as a third toe. This is perhaps the most dangerous part of these creatures since they can use it to rip into flesh of any kind.
Their natural habitat is the culchan plains of Lustria, given them their names, Culchans. These plains also inhabits many large creatures. A lesser species of stegadons dwell in these parts as do long necked reptilians, browsing the tall trees and resting their huge body in the many larger lakes of the plains.
Here the culchan stalks the tall grass, swiftly and silent they maneuvers around the plain, using their keen eyes to spot potential prey miles away.
They are not exactly reptilian in the fact that they are somewhere between bird and lizard, many skink scholars suggest that they may be of close descent to the Coutl, for these reasons. Though due to this they are some of the fastest and most agile hunters in all of Lustria. Far quicker than the horned ones and much more trainable and easy to handle than most other creatures. The only problem the skinks has with them are their warm-blooded nature, they are simply not equipped to handle such eager and constant aware animals.
They are more demanding in food than what their body would suggest and such many armies choose to disband or not use these band of fierce hunter, for the reason that other creatures are less resources exhausting, when on a march.
However they are such great hunters that if they are lead in environment, where natural food sources are available, this issue become none existing.
They'll hunt every thing from rats and small lizards, to huge giants of the jungle. No prey are too difficult to hunt down eventually for these deadly creatures.
Culchan M 9 Ws 3 Bs 0 S 4 T 3 W 1 I 8 A 2 Ld 6 Troop Type War Beast
Always Strikes First; Cause Fear; Fast Cavalry and Scaly skin (+6).
Terrible claw: With their sickle shaped third claw the culchan leaps into its enemies and impales them. On charge each culchan models gains 1 impact hit with +1 strength, in addition to there normal attacks.
