I was going to disagree with you because they make no mention of it and take none in the battle report, but then again the BR was awful and explained nothing.
Probably a "tease them with pictures but no direct info so they will buy the book" move or something dumb.
Anyone else notice that the skink oracle that rides the troglodon has a split tail? As does the troglodon?
im just going to hope that they didn't show in the battle report to allow them to have the maximum amount of new models etc
Tell that to my savage Orc boss; 2 attacks base, +1 for add. Hwp, +1 for frenzy, all at S5 in the first round of combat thanks to choppaz. I think its kind of sad that we are so used to Saurus being awful that we're standing around saying things like "nah, there's no way they would power up Saurus so they were only slightly worse at fighting than a savage Orc".
yep that waht makes him an oricle/prophet, Tenehuan also had a split tail, it was considered an omen since the split tail commet was in the sky during the rise of sotec.
Much appreciated Arli and thanks for the insight N810, it makes quite a lot of sense. And here is some update on the brep http://raffazza.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/lizardmen-rumours-part-5-rumour-round-up.html?m=1
Aha, I see your point! Fair enough, I just hope this means the Saurus champion will be become a more powerful presence after all. What's '.Hwp' btw? Yes, I took it as a sign of Sotek? Now we've seen the Trog's rules, I'm really curious to see how the 'Oracle' will stand out. Maybe Sotke/Old-one related upgrades?
Add. Hwp = additional hand weapon We have the full rules for the trog? I think I must've missed them, how many pages back?
Check my summary post, has the stats. I really hope there's more to the Oracle than just being a rider on the Trogolodon; ie he has some special buff rule and can be taken on foot also, but its sounding more and more like he's just there...
Dadoodler posted this link on the last page that some may have missed. It is an update on the BatRep. http://raffazza.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/lizardmen-rumours-part-5-rumour-round-up.html?m=1 It looks like we have this update already, but I posted it again just to be sure.
Its both the comet, and the twin-tongue of serpents Wasnt the fluff something about him using the troglodon to find lost relics? maybe he has some effect on magic items?
Yeah, a lot of that is taken from me (that I, to be fair, have tkaen from elsewhere ). My other alias on Warseer is Clockwork... Haven't read the fluff yet, but someone on Bell also has their White Dwarf so I'll ask.
Oh my gosh, yes. You could probably take 2 Engines and a Carnosaur. Or an Engine and 2 Carnosaurs. Or an Engine, a Steg, a Basti, and 2 Carnosaurs. The options are endless!!!
ITS A TERRADON! ITS A COATL! NO!! ITS!!! CAPTAIN OBVIOUS !!! (no offense! its just the way you wrote that made me laugh a little to myself) I agree..it will get much easier to fit in now, and not in the hero pts.
