8th Ed. Liz-Zilla style

[Bauhus]

First off, sorry if this has been discussed before but I haven't seen much discussion.

I was having a bit of a chat with my friend today, and the idea of suddenly sporting as many Stegs and Carno's as possible came up.

At 3k points, you can fit 2 easily in your heroes, 3 as special and 2 as rare. And with an Oldblood on a Carno as your Lord. Backed up by a few decent sized groups of Saurus, and With Camo skinks and CoR as your special fillers, that seemed like a decent army to try out.


My question here is.... Has anyone else given this a thought / tryout?

I know you limit your magic, but... the sheer hitting potential seems almost too great. You'd have multiple targets for cannons/war machines to attempt to whittle down, and if they did, your Saurus would eventually make it to the lines and start smashing their faces.


Anyone?

It's called a stampede and if the enemy has no cannons or heroic killing bow he's pretty much boned.

sample 2k list with a bit of commentary anyone?

 

[HoverBoy]

Carno lord.
Stegodn priest/chief
The minimum amount in core, likely in two blocks of saurus maybe a few skirmishers.
Two-three addditional stegs in rare and special, and if points allow some camos to hunt those pesky warmachines.

I've thought about testing at 2400 points:

Lord
Tehenhauin on Ancient Steg w/ Engine
Hero
Skink Priest on Ancient Steg w/ Engine
Rare
2x Ancient Steg
Special
Reg Steg
Core
2x 25 Saurus w/ FC

Leaves some points for other magical mystery stuff. At 2k, change the 2x Ancient stegs to 2x Reg Stegs.
