How do you guys kit out your oldbloods? What would u use for a character hunter or a good leader for a saurus block?

Check out the tactica for good hints on building out Oldbloods.

The cool thing about the Old blood imo is that you can easily obtain the 1+ armour save without the mount.

Also with 100 points to play with you can come up with an insane amount of hilarious combinations.

Here are a few I made up during yesterday's night shift:

Anti Elite Infatry:
Old Blood
Cold one
Fencers Blades
Crown of Command
Glittering Scales
Luckstone
270

Anti Phoenix Guards:
Old Blood
Gold Sigil Sword
Gambler's Armour/Glittering Scales
Crown of Command
Dawnstone
Shield
241/246

Challenger/character hunter:
Old Blood
Cold One
Fencers Blades
Dawnstone
Glittering Scales
The Other Trickster's Shard
270


Support DPS:
Old Blood
Sword of Bloodshed
Stegadon Helm of Itza
Cold One
270

I like to use:

Armour of destiny, dawnstone, great weapon. Rerollable 1+ armour save, with 4+ ward save and 5 S7 attacks is just so good and only costs 251pts. That leave you with plenty enough points for the slann.

i always give him a cheap magic weapon vs ethereals.
