Looks solid. I'm slightly concerned with the fact that you only have one big dinosaur, but your Slann and Ripper Chief can also serve for target saturation.

Out of curiosity, is your plan to run the Slann solo or tack him onto the Saurus Warrior block or deploy him with Skirmishers?

Thanks for the reply Scalenex

My plan is to run the Slann and Scar-Vets in the Saurus bunker. Scar-Vets then charge out when needed.

Target saturation is an issue, though the main shenanigans I make are usually with the skinks, chams, terradons, salamanders and ripper-chiefs.

Game plan is usually eliminating priority targets (warmachines, fast cavalry and scouts) with chams, terradons and ripper-chiefs whilst the bunker + steg advance towards enemy line. Salamanders and skinks either support the above priority or target enemy main units (monsters or infantry). I usually whittle enemy units enough by the time bunker and steg (if still alive) charge in order to win the game.

High magic Slann syncs very well with this game plan (particularly walk between worlds, soul quench and fiery convocation).

What I am still not sure of is the chief with egg... having the egg paints a big read target on his head which might not be the case without the egg... however this does provide an alternate target which might save the ancient steg...
