So with the new book and an explosion of interest I am making my not so grand return to theorycrafting and mathhammering!
One thing people really seem to be stuck on is the predatory attacks, debating their usefulness in a stratagey. One thing I think a lot of people have forgotten is that its free, Saurus are the same points cost, krox are cheaper as are our beloved Temple Guard.
This ability is nothing but a net gain. I know even when I went up against Chaos warriors and the like I used my saurus as an anvil and relied on flanking my opponent to really do the damage. With PA being thrown in (possibly along with jungle swarms I dont know how I feel yet on them) on a unit of 6 wide Saurus you are looking at 24 attacks, 4 PA bonus attacks. Hitting say on 4+ thats 14 hits, wounding on 4+'s thats 7 wounds!
Bear in mind that this is average case senario. Remembering that Scar Vets and Oldbloods have this too starts bringing some serious punch to a Saurus heavy list.
With the hit to the slann I have seen a lot of tears shed. But skink priests utility based around a heavy close combat army has been expanded massively. Bringing light AND beasts on 2 fairly cheap boys is a sweet deal.
Im in work just now so this is a fairly off the top of my head style post, just wanting to get back into it.
I hope to do more here in an old community I have sorely missed.
