granted i did stack the deck with game type and it was my 7th try but ya im pleased with how it worked out.

Your dedication is most impressive.

I used this list once to help demonstrate to a buddy how playing the battleplan is more important than the army you play it with. Once was enough for me.

What did you learn out of your seven games?

Meh, our Knights don't suck by any means. It's just that basicly all other cavalry is way better in comparison, or at least has a much clearer niche in their armies. Cavalry for other factions tends to either be a more elite version of their footslogging infantry with a massivly improved statline, or has some decent special rules (like doomfire warlocks being wizards). Whereas our Knights are only slightly better stat-wise compared to regular saurus & the only special rule they have that's unique to them is the completly underwhelming mortal wound mechanic. Hell, our "cavalry" isn't even our fastest option, so even in that aspect they're underwhelming.

Cold Ones are not cavalry. They are fast infantry which provide excellent screening, durable models and nice fighting ability.
If you use them to do things that are usually done by cavalry, then you will be disappointed, as they don't have the stats of the cavalries of all the other armies

Our real cavalry is composed by Terradons (harass) and Rippers (fast hitters)

Fair misleading but fair they are still slow for skermishers and the ability they have encourages Calvary play so I don't know what to do with them

basicly just use them as you'd use 10 man units of skinks but with the added bonus of them being able to actually stand their ground in a fight instead of just constantly retreating with wary fighter so they can actually contest an objective or assault a minor hero and viably win.
