8th Ed. I think the carnasaur......sucks?

[Axolotyl]

Ok before the rage hits in, hear me out!

I don't like the model! It looks like its a very large mammal like beasty, with equal sized limbs and proportionate jaws, how dare it e anatomically balanced! I wished it was more of a T Rex or Allsaurus style dinosaur, all big headed short limbed bundle of bad temper!

Anybody agree or disagree? What, if anything would you of preferred from the sculpt than whats current? Cheers for your thoughts guys!

I would not say that i hate it. But i would like to have seen the more of the concept design of
how i might have looked.

However i LOVE the design of the saurus rider. The "tortoise" like face really works for me.
If they ever make new saurus warriors for LD i hope they make them more like this one.

I absolutely love the new Carnosaur. period.

The design of the "arms" really makes him stand out and look like an advanced Lizard of some sort. It looks like an intelligent but frenzy predator to me. Looks like he could climb scyscrapers an shit!

A T-Rex looks like a dumb chicken (yeah I said it).

I am a huge fan of the old model.

HUGE!

It was awesome, it was slick, predatory, agile and looked feriocious.

The new one looks like a big lumbering brute in comparison, not that there's anything wrong with that, i like the model, heck i bought 2 (albeit one is for a trog) - but it just doesn't have the same vibe to me. I want that agile look... that really meant a lot to me... lucky i bought one the first time i went back to lizzies a year ago ish !

If you put wings on it the old Carnosaur makes a superb Dragon conversion. Much better than most of the actual Dragons GW has to offer!

I don't like the new model. Loking at the proportions it feels like its something that walks on four legs. The torsois too big and the head too small compared. The old model was awesome.

Am I the only lizardmen player who doesn't like Dinosaurs?

I like both the old and the new model. I dislike that they have such a massive size differences.
Would have been much cooler with a Monstrous Cav carnasaur (since they made the old one finecast) and a new Carnasaur ancient out of the new kit.

At least when I run two, it's easy to tell who's the oldblood and who's the scar vet.

I love dinosaurs, so I play lizardmen.

But dinosaurs are terrible, so I am sad.

Fine, the Ancient Stegadon and Bastiladon are both respectable choices. The general statement is still a good summary of my feelings towards the lizards, however.

Agree

I MUCH prefer the old Carnosaur design. It looks ferocious, devastating. The new model, while a bit bigger (which is good) is more timid and looks less like it wants to rip limbs of bigger things.
I don't hate the new model, i just don't like it as much as the old one

 

[Putzfrau]

The old one was tiny. New one, even if it doesn't look super dinosaury, is huge and ferocious. Huge and ferocious is awesome.

I would disagree that dinosaurs are bad, I run double stegs right beside each other and double charge things and it is an unstoppable pain train.
