Its called a carnosaur, but a T-Rex would be sick.

That thing (the Kroxigor) just looks so static. The current metal ones are dynamic and look like they're swinging to mow you down, that guy just looks....sleepy.

Love the new kroxigors. I absolutely hated the older models. Looked snakey and weak with poorly modelled teeth. I had been sticking to the old 5th ed models (alot beefier and less silly looking) but I will happily switch to the new ones.

As for the rest of the changes, save for the spawnings and engine of the gods it feels alot more like my old 5th edition list. Back when skink heroe's mounted on terradons with the black gem of gnar where the bane of uber characters everywhere, and the mixed skink/kroxigor unit was one of the best ranked units in the game.

[Quick]

The Black Gem of Gnar? Isn't that a Chaos Dwarf item?

Recently heared some rumours from guys in the GW design studio;

6 variations of the steg possible all from the same box, and think 40k rhino/preaditor size.

Special character "Tic Tac Toe", a skink on terradon hero.
A saurus hero/lord who licks toads and rolls to get special abilities but a low roll= bad affect representing a come down from his toad drug high, goes by the name of "Choqual" or somthing similar.

Kroxigors are going back into skin units as an option, (and are new metal models, the one pictured is a resin first cast by all acounts).

Oooo...and skinks stay the same...but +1ld to what they have now!!!

Set to be a two wave release as gw are going back to add models to already released armies such as no less than 4 new dreadlord models, including at least one female variant for dark elves.

As i say these are pretty reliable and some of the over things like the big spinodon have already been mentioned in other posts, sorry if these turn out to be rubbish but im pretty sure on them.

Better to share either way,

I found this on warseer abit of a update it seems. I know some this might been ready posted but anyways.

Lords

Slann
- speculated to get a spell lore of their own

Saurus Oldblood
- may be mounted on a Stegadon


Heroes

Saurus Scar-Veteran
- may be mounted on a Stegadon

Skink Chief
- may be mounted on a Stegadon

Skink Priest
- may be mounted on an Engine of the Gods


Character mounts

Engine of the Gods (Skink Priest only)
- if it is anything like it was in the Lustria book it is a weaker Stegadon with a war machine-like weapon on top
- takes up an additional Hero choice

Stegadon
- any(?) character may ride a Stegadon
- takes up an additional Hero choice



Core
There is much speculation on whether there will be additional core units (ranked skinks or skink fast cavalry), though nothing confirmed

Saurus Warriors
- 1 or 2 pts cheaper
- scaly skin save is rumoured to be going back to 5+, like it was in 5th edition

Skink Skirmishers
- can get Spawnings

Temple Guard
- cheaper
- can get Spawnings

Jungle Swarms


Special

Saurus Cavalry
- 4 pts cheaper
- can get Spawnings

Kroxigor
- new set of metal models (was rumoured to be plastic, but that appears to have been wrong)
- get light armour in addition to their scaly skin
- can get Spawnings

Stegadon
- new plastic model
- moved from Rare to Special

Terradons
- new (metal) models

Cameleon Skinks

Salamander Hunting Packs
- moved from Rare to Special
- now use the breath weapon template instead of the artillery dice
- stats of the attack not known
- not known whether you can still form units of more than one pack (having a monsters and handlers unit with multiple monsters is a bit tricky ruleswise) or if you might, say, get 1-2 independant packs per Special unit


Rare

Ancient Stegadon
- somewhat altered stats compared to the regular Steggy
- has a different weapon than the bolt thrower the normal Steggy has

Barbed Razordon Hunting Party
- a new kind of dinosaur unit, also herded by skinks
- fires spikes that has a number of shots equal to the roll on an artillery dice, that roll to his using BS 4, not known if it ingores any of the normal to-hit modifiers
- when standing and shooting it gets two artillery dice worth of shots


Special characters

Lord Kroak (Slann)

Kroq-Gar (Saurus Lord)

Nakai the Wanderer (Kroxigor Hero(?))

Tenehauin (Skink Lord/Hero)

Tiktaq'To, Master of Skies (some kind of Skink on Terradon?)

Chakax, Eternity Warden (some kind of Saurus Temple Guard character?)


2 more unknown characters.

Thanks for that, any idea whether or not the steggy mount takes up a special, if not, it's 8 steggy time!
(engine, priest, oldblood/scar-vet, steggy, 4 special steggies, 2 ancient steggies)

[Morden]

Quoted from LooseMoose

The Arcanadon is gone, the Engine of the Gods is mounted on a Stegadon and is a mount choice for a skink priest; taking up an additional hero choice. The ancient stegadon is a rare choice with slightly different stats to reflect it's name and a different ranged weapon. The current stegadon is then moved to specials. All 3 will be available as a plastickit in one box. Bargain.

Tho just a rumour it will highly be a hero choice for the mount to so no 8 steggies for you but perhaps 6 instead

[Da Mighty Camel]

But... but... What about the Carnosaur?! It is far more awesome than the Stegadon ever will be!

[very_origional]

I can take 4 stegadons normally, I can take two stegadons from heroes (probably one engine for magic defence, but tepok always helps) and two rare choice ancient stegadons, that seems to be 8 but I might have missed something, please tell me I can have my 8 steggy list. And I mean 2000 points BTW.
