AoS Saurus underpowered?

[Erta Wanderer]

Our biggest issue really is that at lower points we get absolutely bodied by other factions. For Saurus warriors to be effective you need at least 20. When you get 30 and run a sunclaw on them they do get fairly deadly, but it still is a large point sink.

He means specificly that saurus are bad without a very significant point investment. Anything less than a unit of 30 at 300 points is basicly useless, which is quite steep for a battleline unit to be usefull, and even that is still quite bad.

I’m essence you need to pour in a huge amount of points for them to be effective. While this can be devastating on the battlefield, it still is a point sink. The following issue is then a lack of flexibility if your warriors fail. At high point games they are very viable, but at lower points just go for skinks.
