The dinosaur dilemma

Making my scaly wall of spikes recently, I have come to an impasse. Do I take what is essentially a tank with a potential las-cannon, or potentially the best kamakazi unit I have seen in a while. Having a monster in a 500pts army is always brilliant to see a centre piece and a bastiladon is a lovely model and it's difficult to field in large battles. I also don't use it enough and would love to have one from the get go.

Now one of my new favourites is my small unit of ripperdactyls who are insane! I love the models and I love their rules. Firstly they are basically enraged parrots/pigeons (that's right, they are angry birds!) They are flying cav so they have vanguard, armour pricing and two attacks each with frenzy. All of this however has been eclipsed by their road rage rule. In the box with the terrifying set of poultry, you get a lustrian bloat toad model. If one of your units finds this little critter in one of their back pockets, the rippers get an extra d3 attacks! Oh and they have killing blow. 

Either way I'm sure each would serve a purpose and both units have been painted, based and are ready to go! Needless to say I have to choose between the two as I don't want to sacrifice my Saurus brick! 

Food for thought this week building up to the big kick off (scrap wise) and best of luck with your own conundrums in your own base camps. Looking forward to it and see you on the battlefield.

Grommels Dwarven throng

A few shots of my Dwarves throng.

The bases are not complete as yet and they won't win any prizes but I'm pleased with how they turned out

Assembling the green horde

With an Arachnarok and a Gigantic spider already under way, I've now found two more squig hoppers and three more fanatics that need painting.
I've also juts bought 20 more night goblins so I can field two 30 model mobs.
Oh and yes inspired by the performance of my squig herd on Monday I'm going to add more so I have 15 squigs with 5 herders making the likelihood of them going crazy much higher
Oh and some Nasty Skulkers for my goblins.
The greentide is rising
