    mmm i guess you don't play renegade army list, isnt it? Either I would play Temple Guards and NOT saurus warrios. If the Slann goes alone the warbanner is a waste on him.
    Just a curiosity...why necromacy? Which is your plan with that?

    Personally I prefer meteoric Iron than silvered steel on carnosaur, with the poison nerf you are going to meet mostrly big monsters that give -2/-3 AP or cannon shot that give -4. That's reason Meteoric Iron is better.
    The saurus on foot could have a shield to switch in defensive mode OR silvered steel OR talisman of protection. The poison here isn't so strong.

    I don't know if double Stegadon is worth it's points, however I think you lack some mobility. A terradon/or ripperdactyl unit (or hero with a ruby ring for example) would be interesting.

    Hi Kalisto, I confirm that I do not play with renegade lists.

    As for the slann, I gave necromancy and with the Lore familiar I chose the spells:
    2 Unquiet Spirits
    4 Curse Of Years
    5 Spectral Steed
    3 Spiritual Vortex

    I use the combination of 4 2 and 3 to weaken the target or targets and then with RRR if not engaged by the Oldblood, he can target them.
    Being ethereal I can preserve him from most shooting attacks and against spells the Resistance (2) thanks to the magic weapon

    Instead the n° 5 is for the scar veteran... who will be usable both as support in a melee with long-range charge and as a hunter of eroes or war machines, hence the use of poison and flame attack... mainly to take away regeneration from those who are possible.
    I admit it's a gamble but becoming ethereal and attacking mainly specifically chosen targets works.

    On the carnosaur I chose silvered steel because I preferred to save most of the hits on a 3+ that would have an unchanged 5+, many melee attacks have AP-2 very few AP-3.
    I also favored the protection with the Glyph Necklace to a magic weapon..... with the great weapon you still do good damage... obviously not at the level of an ogreblade or tzunki.

    I get along well with the pair of stegadons, I use them to multicharge, usually with only impact hits and tramples they do enough damage to win almost all the fights in a turn.
    the magic or bow shot is of secondary importance.. even if, maybe with a few lucky hits, you quickly repay the model's points.

    I tried to use terradons and rippers but I always had bad luck.... or in any case my opponents always managed to eliminate them easily.

    However, with the new FAQs released on the very day my list was published, I think it should be reviewed...there are probably too many skinks...the infantry blocks have acquired important bonuses. The sphere of necromancy magic, if I remember correctly, has remained practically unchanged and even with the cast penalty of the wizards it is easily playable.

    I am not conviced but....
    Just one thing is wrong. you cast conveyance spells AFTER charges, so no you can't send him charging flying.
    The number 3 spell now is at 11+ so it's will be harder to cast.
