8th Ed. Keeping kroq-gar and his angry dinosaur alive

[angry lizard]

Hi There,
the questions in the subject really. Have a cool Kroq-gar model on grimlock but finding it hard to keep single characters alive in this edition of warhammer.
Any ideas for saving this endangered creature would be great. Not being able to give him items is a real pain.
Thanking you ,The Angry Lizard

Difficult in the current meta of cannons!

But:

A) a good ward kroq gar himself has a 5+ ward but an engine might help keep the carnosaur alive by affording him a 5+ ward too

B) good use of buildings, keep him out of sight of the cannons

C) target saturation, bring an engine, a normal steg and an ancient ! Can't shoot at them All!


In close combat he should be fine, don't charge him into hard hitting re rolling troops like swordmasters but he should chew up normal rank and file

barriers too, they also block bouncing cannon balls.
