i should probably include a sarus scar veteran in my sarus block to add some hitting power. but honestly, they have 40 attacks. stuff is going to die.

the Kroxigor can deal with monsters and armor very effectively.

monsters do what monsters do. the Stegadon provides that 6+ ward save that the sarus spears lack.

in theory, this will perform quite well as long as i get average power dice rolls...

your thoughts???

I saw a similar list in a battle report, and it did prety well.

 

[warlorddrax]

good to know.

it theory, it will be pretty cool. i bet that in practice though, i will need to figure out a way to get a cheap Scar Veteran or 2 in there...
our Scar Veterans are too cheap and too good to pass up...

also, i fell like my anvil unit is a little lacking in killing power...

also, i've been thinking of the merits of the razordons... i think that a unit of 8 of them can be quite terrifying... especially with the high magic BS buff.

i wonder how many ranks that would be...
do monsters and handlers get a rank bonus if there are enough of them???


perhaps my next army will be filled with as many razordons and salamanders as points allow...

 

[Lord Frosk]

Razordons or salamanders with their handlers can't get rank bonuses since they are skirmishers and skirmishers can never claim rank bounuses
