Edited for readability. (except for that last part. What the heck is a "Howdah" weapon?:smallconfused:) I'm no master of balance, but 135 points seems kinda low, with all of those special rules, 4 wounds and 4 attacks. Then again, I don't know what most of those rules even do, aside from the standard ones like fear and scaly skin.

The statline looks about right. The problem is that you can get almoast the same thing out of a Kroxigor champion.

So he can join skink squads?

And I don't think I would ever take him on a stegadon. Ever.

135 seems about right though.


It just seems kind of bland to me. I don't think I would ever take one. Maby what we need is a hero-level special character?

How about a rule that lets krocs or skinks that join him deploy from the enemie's table edge from reserves? Now THAT I would take:smallbiggrin:

What the heck is a "Howdah" weapon?:smallconfused:

The howdah is the saddle-thingie on the Stegadon. From Wiktionary:

1. A seat, usually with a canopy, carried on the back of an elephant or camel.

2. An ornate carriage which is positioned on the back of elephants or occasionally other animals, used most often in the past for rich people who travelled in India via elephant.

Reasonably, the howdah weapon would be the waepon mounted on the howdah.

By the way, Lizardmen are the only thing making Warhammer the least bit interesting in my eyes. That is all.

[Thane of Fife]

Hmmm. I'd say no options for a shield. In all honesty, great weapons are sufficiently iconic for kroxigor that I almost feel he should be restricted to them.

In all honesty, I don't know that I'd ever take one of these over a Scar-Vet. The saurus is much cheaper, can be faster, has a stat-line which is almost as good.... Really, the kroxigor only gets more wounds and the opportunity to ride a stegadon.

thanks for the imput
i mainly just thought it would be a cool thing to have a Kroxigor on a Stegadon:smallsmile:

[Athaniar]

Oh yes, certainly. More big lizards!

[Quayleman]

As far as stegadon characters go, he is not worth it. Great weapons give only +1 str. while mounted, so he only gets str. 6.

Seems ok, until you try the skink chief with the stegadon spear (counts as lance, adds +d6 impact hits to your stegadon) and is still cheaper than your Krox with no gear. Plus, you get to keep the Howdah.

Now, if you just really want a Kroxigor riding a stegadon, then I think he's probably fair.
