AoS Summoning: Terradon Loadout

[Acehilator]

So, my first 1k points of Aztec dinosaurs are nearing completion, going to add some big dinos including an EotG to my army next. Which brings me to summoning... I realize that more Ripperdactyls are probably the best option (especially when summoned by an EotG), but I'd rather get some Terradons for added variety and to not boost my "that guy" level over 9000.

Question is, what loadout and why? I am leaning towards Alpha + Sunleech Bolas, I don't think that the possibility to maybe plink off one or two wounds with Javelins on the turn they are summoned is really worth it.

Thoughts?

Bolas and the Alpha are the right call in my opinion.

I have magnetized mine so I can choose.
When summoned I decide based on one thing:
Am I really desperate to get at least a wound or two onto some target in that turn?
Then I go for the Javelins.

Otherwise I go for the bolas.

I never take the master of the skies. Rarely worth it.

 

[Canas]

Master of the skies only works if you get them into melee combat every single turn. The difference is something like 0.2 wounds/turn or something so a single missed combat completly negates the advantage.

Hm magnets on Skinks... and here I was, thinking magnetizing my Plague Marines for Kill Team was a bit excessive, lol.

just buy 7 boxes and make 9 javalins, 3 masters of the sky and 9 bola's cover all options for 3 units

Yeah sure, getting right on it

I built 4 boxes of Rippers and 4 Boxes of Terradons, but I think I bought more than half of them with store credit that I won from events. So, maybe just go win a bunch of small events that pay prize support in models
