AoS Dual battalion 2k list

Hey y'all, looking at a dual battalion list when we can get back to gaming.
My personal preference is cavalry, so I'm looking to take advantage of a hard castle up the center, to set my Cavs up for a proper flank.

Its a cool idea to try and fit multiple battalions in.
as it stands not many of the battalions are worth it apart from maybe the freelance temple host.
The thunder quake temple host is next to useless for the points, especially for bastiladons. you don't want them in melee for the savage buff and don't really need the swift for run and shoot either. steggadons could get some use out of it but you'd have to free up the points.

Personally i would think a better option is just to take the bastiladons outside of a thunder quake and try to fit in a slann, without extra command points thunder lizard is wasted as you won't be able to shoot twice with the bastiladons.

Hey y'all, looking at a dual battalion list when we can get back to gaming.

If you don't insist on Knights, I'd look at Sunclaw templehost+Thunderquake. Carnosaur with -2 rend of jaws is so much fun. The main problem in your current list is the lack of consistent CP source, and both sarurus and monster-heavy builds are very CP hungry.

I have to disagree on this. First of all, 29" threat range is good, but not always enough. Run+shoot will apply even more pressure upon your opponent. Bastiladons are also great at tying enemey units, that you want to shut down. Finally, it is very helpful, when you suddenly need bastiladon in the other place. Secondly, there are Engine of Gods and Salamanders, both of which benifit greatly from both effects. I wouldn't call TQTH mandatory, but it is nowhere next to useless. Firelance, IMO, has way more disadvantages, because you have to keep all saurus near the scar-veteran to benifit from it. Also, it is only helpful until you get close. This ability would have way better utility in Starborne for 9" charges.
