    Hello everyone!

    I have finally decided to take the plunge into AoS. I’ve been looking to maximize my bang for my limited buck.

    I found a guy in my area who is willing to sell me:
    Carnosaur
    2 Stegs
    3 Ripperdactyls (2 assembled, 1 on sprue), 8 Saurus Cavalry,
    9 Temple Guard (6 painted, 1 broken weapon, 3 partial paint)
    a couple of skinks
    Skink hero fully painted
    Saurus warriors
    Troglodon

    He is asking for $190.

    The question is, is this lot worth it? Or am I better off trying to get my hands on a Starclaw Strikeforce and starting from there?

    Thanks in advance for any help, also wanted to say I love what y’all have done with this site and it’s community!

    As far as viability, how is it though? I’m not trying to be hardcore competitive but would definitely like to cause people some problems. Guy from the shop is telling me that Seraphon are close to getting a new book. People excited about that?

    Ultimately you will want to add a Slann to the force, and maybe another 3 flyers.

    Check out the link to GHB2019 list in my signature for some ideas about lists.

    yeeeeeeeeeees? we have been waiting for a book for a wile now since last april but we are the only ones left so we will be getting a book in the next month or 2. as for viability that can change soon but not much of our line is worth using, of what you have abouve 2 Stegs (depending on how they are built) 3 Ripperdactyls, 8 Saurus Cavalry, are good and all the skinks

    Thank you! Are Oldhammer Slann models still usable if rebased for AoS?

    I appreciate the advice, think the lot might win out by sheer volume. All of it might not be great at the moment but who knows post book! Thank you!
