Can I take a Oldblood on Carnosaur in a Saurus Host?

I'm asking because a Oldblood and Oldblood on Carnosaur now have their own different entries and it only says Oldblood in the formation.

probably not. but you could take the carnosaur as well?

Since it says Old-Blood, you can take any old-blood unit. Any Old-blood on a carnosaur is still any old-blood, so I would say yes.

However the pdf does say use the profile for a scar-vet on a cold one for an old-blood on a carnosaur., so someone could argue that the scar-vet does not have the key word old-blood like every other old-blood unit entry.

Actually, only an Oldblood has the Oldblood keyword. The Saurus Oldblood on Cold One or Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur entries have the Saurus Oldblood On Cold One and Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur Keywords respectively.

As the Tomb Kings lists each specifically designate a different Tomb King entry for their formations, I'm going to have to say that RAI when it says Oldblood it means just that - Oldblood.

Same as how Daemon Cohorts specifically list each Herald instead of just "Herald of X"

Yea, I guess some armies have the benefit of keywords working in their favor. For Wood Elves, every version of a Glade Lord is keyword Glade Lord.
