If you factor in alliegence abilities, a lot of the problems you underlined aren’t there. Scaly skin greatly improves survivability. We also have stuff like starseers to buff up our charges.
yes and it takes resorses we can only do so much with CP so the more a unit needs to work the less usfull it is you could buff a 4+ save 10 wound stegadon 12 if TL or you could buff a 40 block of warriors or skinks not both
no the problems are still there scaly skin will not save a carnasaur from 30 irondrakes or anything skaven OBR or DK and even then your giving up teleports for it.
right but just because they are cheep does not make them good. your right the problems our dinosaurs have are shared by all monsters not just ours. so for a monster to be considered good they ether have to be outstanding see stone horns and terrorgiests(both very strong without any buffs) or do something beyond just fight like the harvester.
no not at all krox are good salamanders are good saurus warriors and knights are good. they just need a good list to function
also no fangs is great but so is koatl and drakoliths tail has masive potential of just for it's command ability. not sure why you think they all suck
carnasuars got better just not by much +1 to hit has always been better then +2 attacks to a bad weapon profile and the rest of what you can stack on one is bonkers if not better used elsewhere
2 shots from a sun cannon averages 8-12 damage not great but thats not his job
we got a solid buff in this book but we play very differently i am sad at what we lost and a bit miphed with what they didn't give us but over all it's a net positive
it bypasses our general slow movment and lets you teleport half your army to where it needs to be the comand ability is great and the artifact is solid protection
if built right a block of skinks deals 34 damage a turn your going to kill way more then just a skeleton
ok harsh but also not true our saurus are meatgrinders now and koatle lets you run CP neutral which is great for our stuff now
posibly the wording is fairly fuzzy we are waiting for the FaQ it is a shame that summoning took a hit but it was always going to
our book is allabout sinergy we can get 2 "2 2/3/-1/1 2 1" 3/3/-/1 attacks on our guys and krox got waaaay better they got more rend their bights got fixed and +1 to hit meens they can hit on 2s
aaah now i see the problem
then you did a piss poor job most people here saw the good stuf right off the bat and wizard and i are finding broken crap all the time like our immunity to battle shock
Saurus are downright awesome
@Erta Wanderer. Are you referring to Cold-Blooded? Does it actually work that way, meaning that Coalesced just test off of their base bravery?
The battletome reads; ignore bravery modifiers positive or negative. As casualties are a negative to bravery, it could well be assumed that stuff like saurus are straight up immune to battleshock
well as it is worded now our bravery is not effected by modifiers lossing models is a modifier so saurus can't fail and skinks only loss a guy on a 6. but i don't think thats what they intended
If we stay quiet, maybe they won’t errata it
Interesting. I didn't know if the rules considered losing models as modifiers to Bravery. I do think that may be what GW intends. If so, it makes Bravery 8 Saurus VERY hard to budge. That may actually be better than Bravery 10 that can be modified. Hmmm... oh Starborne, what have they done to you?
How are you getting immunity?
