8th Ed. Chiefs on Terradons

[dirtydan17]

So, my only question is whether or not the rule for making up units entirely of characters goes with the terradon rule that a hero on it can join units on terradons.

That being the case I know I'd be sending them in with at LEAST three fodder-dons but that would be a sweet elite unit. at 89 ppm it could get expensive but theres still plenty of room for magic items of killyness

IMO it is probably possible. And I guess it would be a load of fun at least and some potential killingness. But Im not sure if they are worth the points. In a smaller battle you would spend up almost all your hero points on one unit. I would only field this kind of tactic in a larger battle where you spend the points.

(dont forget that even skink brave's still dont have a high Ld. Without a boost it can get dangerous. I once had a unit of terradons whiped out by a sudden arrival of a banshee :S)

edit: nvm i read the question wrong cause I'm half asleep still. It sounds possible.

It is possible though, IMO not worth it. You are basically paying at least fifty points more per models for a unit that functions in an identical form as Terradons. Sure they have S4 and three attacks, but if any light bowfire hits them and panics them they are a huge loss of points. And with the new infantry rules, they just would not be able to take on any infantry unit really.
