My question is how are you able to monetarily afford 3 dread saurian? That’s worth about as much as most of the armies I run
The better question is why don’t you own a Dread Saurian being ridden by a Carnasaur, who is being ridden by an Old Blood. Like a Turducken, but Dreacarnlood
I bought 1 a year for the past 3 years. Putting away a little bit for minis and splurging when I get my tax return so usually I use 100 out of my tax return plus what I put away to buy a fuckload of minis and a dread saurian.
Sorry to pour more salt on the wound, but this isn't playable as Thunder Lizards is strictly a Coalesced sub-faction and therefore don't have access to summoning.
TBF, if they are near a Slann, you can get at least 10 Sauras Warriors a turn (hopefully) for summoning. Maybe more, depending on the FAQ on their ability. 10 sauras a turn is actually very fast compared to the assumed 3-9 CCP you can get in one turn bare minimum as Starborne. that may be 10 skinks, but you honestly want 10 CCP for Sauras, so it's a turn 2 summon on turn 1.... This could be interesting. Again, depending on the FAQ.
Just a question to the group (sorry if this has mentioned previously). Looking at the rules in the battle tome, if you go for skinks with javalins you dont get a close combat attack? And you cant equip shields to them?
I think his point was that having multiple EotG in Coalesced to summon Saurus Warriors is a better summoning mechanic than going Starborne and collecting CCP to summon Saurus Warriors. You have 2 options for both Boltspitters and Meteoric Javelins. Either you equip them with Moonstone Clubs (better in melee) or with a Celesite Dagger + Starbuckler (worse in melee but gives a 5+ save).

YES, but you need to use multiple command points and you must use the ability each time on a different EotG. So, 3 EotG = 3CA
Ahh I see, RAW, you can only use the Engine once per shooting phase, but with the CA you can activate additional engines once.
this is also a weird thing about summoning. Why in the world does the EoTG pump out units quicker than several freaking slannput together.It is such a weird mechanic now.
