    I thought about that and figured it would mean cheaper busses

    It all comes back to busses ^^

    Alpha Raptor: Only one model with this special rule may join a unit. Applies to all Hero and Lord mount upgrades.

    No more busses, Cold One Cav can be cheap and good again (and Core...?).

    Regarding the Croxisaurus Ancient, I think it's fine to have it as a primarily support model. But, if you're going to do that, it might be good to go a little further. For example, give him 1 attack but at S8 with multiple wounds. Or leave him at 3 attacks but give him a staff and a shield.

    It only feels weird right now because he's basically the same thing as a regular Crox, just with one less attack. I think it would feel less weird if he was more obviously different from them.

    If the unit isn't competitive without turning it onto a character bus then it needs to change, raptor riders are very overpriced and need to fall in line with DE Calvary prices, heck Warriors can do the same thing but better the reason they dont is because other things are more competitive. throwing my vote for croxisaurus hero is garbage and raptor riders are overpriced, played with both and it was pretty bad how they fared against similar choices from other armies.

    That would certainly make them a lot more effective.

    Some feedback on the Skink-Kroxigor: isn't it a bit weird that they still have randomise hits, when that's been removed from the main rulebook? It seems to be especially weird in combat (is someone attacking a SKroxigor unit just swinging their blades randomly?). Does any other unit in the game still have this?

    Honestly, in the interest of streamlining (and avoiding opponent frustration), I think this should go away. To compensate, maybe apply a -1 to hit if attacking the Kroxigor, or give them a +1/+2 armour save whilst they are still in the second rank (Both to represent the Skinks getting in the way). This seems a much more 'clean' approach than randomising hits. Either that or remove the ability to strike the Kroxigor entirely, like it was back in 7th (personally I feel that this is too powerful).

    The ABC are allowed to come up with 1 big change each week so they've proposed changes to the Croxisaurus Ancient and the shooting profile of the Spike Lizard.

    They also have 14 smaller issues, but I can't remember all of them, but one of them are bows on skink braves and another is bodyguard [general] to allow oldbloods to give shrine guards stubborn.

    Could you make those lances optional?

    Very good news indeed. I'm really hoping that they can do something positive with this guy.
