There may be a lot of different lists but usually, at 2000 points, there are no more place for 1 or 2 stegadons, if you don't choose to play a lot more extreme or a big monster list. Which ones would you choose in this case? The purpose is just to see which 2 alternatives lizardmen players prefers (not you have 2 votes)
I'll most likely play either Skin Chief on a Stegadon (bow) or a double Engine list with one of the engines being a Skink Priest.
Clearly the chief on a stegadon is the best option. I would be interested in the thoughts on an ancient upgrade. My initial impression was "definitely" but (I have not run any stegadons) it does appear to me that each extra attack in TOW is precious.
Extra attacks with -3 AP is precious yes, especially with WS4. On the other hand S6 is really really good. Without skink hero I would probably take a normal ancient. I don’t see really the skink on ancient been worth it. WS mean often be hitted at 2 or 3+, wasting the bonus that extra wounds give
I'm a bit confused on using the Stegadon as a character mount. The rule at the bottom says to treat it as a chariot mount not a ridden monster, even though it's a behemoth, does that mean you follow all the Chariot character mount rules? ie add character wounds to the Stegadons wounds?
