Even Saurus can have -1 rend in their weapons but chaos warriors can't :(

They do: chaos warriors get a choice between re-rollable hits, 2" reach, 5+ fnp against mortals, or -1 rend. Going by the new profile saurus will have a choice between -1 rend and 2" reach. So unless they also get two wounds and an improved save profile a chaos warrior is still going to be more badass than a saurus is.

They just might, the sneak peeks for KO didnt mention 2W for grundstocks either I think. I mean, despite how goofy they are I do love the sarususes so whatever boosts them is good.

The chaos wastes in the old world were a result of the Old Ones’ warp gate suffering a catastrophic failure.

Didn’t the Skaven in the End Times discover a communicator and accidentally contact what was supposedly the Eldar?

Yeah but then you compare my poor blood warriors agaisnt Ard Boyz and...

Do you prefer your ziggy...

Clean:


Or overgrown:


Quite like the clean version, but the overgrown one has to go into my Deathworld table!

Seems like the clean version would fit better with the Starborne and the overgrown with the Coalesced.

IMHO this is a very hideous piece of terrain. Probably the worst since AoS came out. I love quite a lot of GWs terrain kits, but this one... sheesh. It’s very easy to do a better pyramid yourself. Just make sure you have some spare Lizardmen bits, and you’re set.

I like how Lizardmen are flesh and blood creatures who reproduce via spawning vats again. I wasn't a fan of the whole energy beings made from the memories of Slaan thing.

They could have spent a bit more time on those glyphs and carvings - these really look like the least possible effort, just very little detail or anything of interest (even more so when compared to real-world examples).

I started out not liking it, and the more they show it, the less I like the shoebox. Slapped together in an afternoon.

It'd be a lot more useful/functional/interesting if it was shorter with broader steps you could put a mini on, and no ball lightning (or whatever that is supposed to be) on top. The freestanding snake carvings propping up the lightning aren't good either.

Yeah, they had a chance to.update and improve the design.aesthetic and just blew it.

However, all will be forgiven when new warriors show up...

It's not.

So, Stegadon's anyone? Not going to lie, this is actually very tempting to do:

Now we just need Steg 6: Slann on a Stegadon.
Where’s Lord Mazdamundi when you need him?

Hmmm...I already have 4 of them and a Solar Powered Bastilodon...3 more is not much of a stretch for my Seraphon.

I feel like a more diverse dinorider army would be more fun.
Saurus on Carnasaur
Skink Priest on Troglodon
Stegadon
Bastiladon
Ripperdactyls
Pteradons
Saurus Knights

Maximum dinosaur biodiversity!

This, this is where GW shines. What other wargame let's you run an army like this? You can feel the excitement oozing through the article and know this is an army someone is going to have a whole lot of fun playing--and they even admit at the end that it isn't all that good.

What's funny is that stegadon spam is considered to be a viable doomstack in total war. Now all I need is for GW to copy the rank and file aspect as well and that'll be great.

I don't like how blowpipes are now apparently flamethrowers. They still look like blowpipes to me, I don't care what fancy high fantasy name GW gave them.

Every article they've written just reminds me they really missed the perfect opportunity to update the line.

Plus the Total War references and lack of new Kroxigors makes me even sadder.

Dino armies are where it's at though. You all can take your piddly infantry when my hungry stompy dinos plod along the table.

I imagine the skinks manning them are doing a fire-spitting thing and the blowpipe enhances it.

Technically all lizardmen armies are dino armies.
The infantry are big lizards called saurus, after all

GW seem to slowly updating metal and finecast models for 40k. I expect they'll do the same for AoS when they're done. I'm sure that's part of the plan for the Old World project.

They're magic sticks now. No need to be JUST giant blowpipes. Now they shoot magic fire made of starstuff and fire.

I'm pretty hyped for this. It's honestly making me look at the three Stegs I have and want to buy at least 4-6 more. For Engines, variants, and a apparently Hero keyword basic Steg.

The only models that need to be updated are the saurus, in my opinion. And seeing the prices GW are charging for Howling Banshees I am fine with them remaining cheap and a bit goofy looking to be honest.

Well I got the feeling we are going to see similar rule set for Lumineth if going by Seraphon.

2 main factions and some number of sub-factions for each.

That's one way to utilize the updated 2015 monsters. And I mean it in a nice way, they're clearly the best looking kits in the army right now, and I imagine a bunch of us love the lizards for their big monsters.

The Stegadon is actually much older than that. It’s held up really well.

The big lizards, as well as the Skinks actually (the basic ones on foot that is, not just the Steg riders). Looking at the alternative scheme in the opening picture (perhaps something seen in older AoS publications, but I hadn't seen it before) made me realize that those still look pretty nice. Decent level of detail, sufficiently dynamic, good proportions. And as result, all plastic Skinks from various kits look good next to each other too I guess.

Is it? Still must be past 2010 release, which is significantly younger than the 2001-2002 6th ed release of the foot skinks, sauruses and salamanders/slann.
