What does everyone think? All feedback is greatly appreciated.
 
So after playing a few games with this list I decided to change it up slightly. I dropped Soul of Stone from the Slann to save some points. Also my Carnosaur did good in the two games I played but he could do more damage. So the Scar-vet will have Charm Shield, The Other Tricksters shard, and the +1 Attack sword. I also gave the carnosaur swift stride. I am considering however dropping the salamanders and maybe adding a unt of rippers? What does everyone think?
 
Yeah i'm sort of struggling with fitting salamanders in now - ancients look way better to me!

Glad you're having success with the carnosaur - have you had to face down much shooting with him?

What's the chief for?
 
I love this list! Good to see someone taking advantage of scar-vet carnies. I would agree with you to try out some rippers as they have some serious damage potential ;)
 
What weapon uses your scar-vet? If just standard HW try change it for spear as it gives +1 S in charge and with swiftstride carnosaur you will charge pretty often. Same goes for skink chief cowboy - I've used similar one, but with terradon instead of cloak - you exchange 1 mr for terradon's attack, fear, better save and stomp, and again take spear as weapon for +1 to S in charge - cheaper than magic sword (unless you really need magic weapon).
 
I played two games against empire the other day and neither my carnosaur or steg did so well. The ancient got brought down by one cannon shot in both games along with the carnosaur. The skink chief was there to help with war machines but I ended up dropping him for another priest.

I recently changed the Scar-vet carnosaur to have the charm shield, sword of striking, the other trickster shard, and the opal amulet. That way when the carnosaur dies and I take another cannon shot if I am within 3 inches of another infantry block I will have a 4++.

I dropped the salamanders for 3 rippers and am trying to find points for 5 more chameleon skinks because dual hellblaster volley guns really hurt lol.
