    Hello, I'm a modder for total war warhammer 3. My handle on steam is Calm&NormalTime

    I've been developing a mod for the game that adds a bunch of dinosaurs to the Lizardmen faction.

    Premise of the mod is that sites have been discovered that are kind of Old One nature reserves. Hidden areas of wilderness where species of dino still roam that had previously been thought extinct since the great catastrophe. Anyways. I'm going to start posting pics of them here with the names I've given them. Feedback is very welcome. My main motivation to post these is I'm having a hard time coming up with short unit descriptions for them and maybe you dino-loving folks will be able to help me.

    First up is the Pirhajara. Tiny pterosaur. Swarm behaviour

    Cherupins. Little tortoises that can actually hide inside their shells for big defence bonus. Mounted versions have high velocity dartguns that effectively act like skaven jezzails.

    That's 7 I think, It won't let me add any more pics. I have about 15 more I'll add as comments under this tomorrow. It's late here now though gonna call it quits for tonight

    Hello! I am an author currently working on a fan project for Lustria: Lustrian Bestiary
    This document, currently 95k words long and almost 400 pages, is full of canonical and fanmade Lustrian fauna, including tons which could be used as units. I'd also be happy to help with the writtin of any lore or blurs if you want as I am a very prolific author (if you are interested I'll post a link to my discord server).

    As per your work (lovely models) I would like to ask for your permission to feature the mod's fauna in the bestiary.
    I would also like to suggest the name "parasaurdons" for your latest design, the parasaurdon is a subspecies of hydrodon (duck-billed dinosaurs of Lustria) already featured in the bestiary, with its own personalized art!

    Really love the Parasaur, I have something similar in my homebrew and its exciting to see it in game. Hopefully my computer situation improves soon so I can try these :)

    Keep it up
