			*'''Release Snakes''': Once a game unit spawns two models' unit of Snake Swarms. They are cheap and weak chaff, but can give another activation or help in holding the objective.
			*'''Good Shot''': Chameleons and their hero shoot at Quality 4+. Shooting is a bit rare in this army, so every little bit helps.
			*'''Carrier''': Transport(X) from Grimdark Future. Unit can carry another unit inside, but when destroyed, carried unit rolls for dangerous terrain and is Wavering. Rarely used - this upgrade requires Dread Titan with the most expensive variant costing more than 700 pts.

The javelin has AP(1) and ~~poison~~, a nice combination for handling larger foes if you get lucky. Fire Bolas also have AP(1) but sacrifice Poison for an extra shot.

 *'''Gators:''' Bigger bruisers than the saurian warriors, boasting Tough(3), great 3+ Defense and devastating AP(3) weapons that can crush cavalry and heavy infantry alike. Also Predator may add some attacks. Their weakness lies in their average 4+ quality, meaning that those hits have a good chance at missing and, more troubling, a bad turn might do more damage to them than it might an equivalent unit of Saurian Warriors.
-*'''Snake Swarms:''' Swarms tend to be little more than distractions and fodder, allowing to increase activation count in this quite expensive army. Though these are a bit better offensively with Poison. Strider is also a good help here, allowing them to run to cover if you need to bait the enemy. Ambush allows placing them in unexpected places to threat vulnerable units, like artillery.

Its ranged options are quite limited off the bat with only two javelins to add in~~.

Its sole melee upgrade is also interesting: Tail Strike gives Deadly(6), which is useful against enemy monsters, especially given how rare Deadly is in Saurian army.

	*'''Dread ~~Behemoth~~:''' An absolute behemoth, gifted with the ability to crush whatever it confronts but is so costly that you'll likely be forced to skimp out on troops and heroes just so you can fit it in. ~~With upgrades, that cost is even more, between~~ Primal Roar, ~~a generous transport capacity~~, ~~a boatload~~ of ~~impact hits and some short~~-~~ranged shooting attacks made to crater things~~ that it can~~'t reach.

You can ~~also~~ buy Ancient palanquin for a mount, costing 105 pts but also providing Fear, more attacks in melee and more wounds to support it. Another possible mount is Queztalcoatl.

	*'''Saurian Veteran:''' Your honest-to-goodness beatstick and a half. A 3+ to quality and defense ensures that it'll hold in a fight and it has AP(1) on even its base weapons, so you can handle not buying something bigger if need be - and if you do, they will also keep that AP(1). Predator also allows some extra attacks. Weapon upgrades depend on planned use: Spear for Phalax unit, Lance for charging with Raptors, Great Weapons to boost AP and Dual Weapons to roll 6 dice at a time.		*'''Saurian Veteran:''' Your honest-to-goodness beatstick and a half.

	===~~Infantry~~===		=== Core units ===
			*'''Saurian Warriors:''' Your workaday close-combat infantry, decently protected with a 4+ defense and quite efficient in the offensive with Quality 4+. Weapon upgrades include Spears to create strong defensive Phalax. With Fearless (or better: with Saurian Veteran added) this formation will be difficult to break. Second option is Halberds to gain Rending against targets with regenerations or armour. Predator can help provide a small boost to their attacks if some lucky sixes are rolled.
			*'''Geckos:''' Your small scouting infantry, offered in small packs for maximum mobility and lower cost. Though flimsy, they come with options for shooting via the AP(1) javelins and longer-ranged blowpipes. Poison on all weapons (also melee ones) make them useful suicidal chaff that wants to take something down with it.
			*'''Saurian Guardians''': The most elite warriors, blessed with a 3+ Quality and Defense to make an elite bunker. They're also considerably more expensive, enough to discourage taking more than one block. While arguable on whether or not it is a restriction, they are restricted to either their stock halberds (for rending) or great weapons with AP(3). Predator works greatly with them, since additional rolls have nice chance of landing with Quality 3+.

	*'''~~Geckos~~:''' ~~Your small scouting infantry~~, ~~offered~~ in ~~small packs~~ for ~~maximum mobility~~. ~~Though flimsy,~~ they ~~come with options~~ for ~~shooting via~~ the ~~armor-piercing javelins~~ and ~~longer-ranged blowpipes~~. ~~They can also buy Stealth for protection~~ (~~unfortunately not extended to the chief or priest~~) and ~~Poison~~ for ~~their meager weapons~~ - ~~A proposal more suited for suicidal chaff that wants to take something down with it~~.		*'''Chameleons:''' Geckos with blowpipes already equipped with addition of Stealth, Scout and Good Shot. Scout is helpful for getting them in position for sniping enemies down. Combined with Strider they can be deployed e.g. in the forest for additional cover and difficult terrain to shoot the enemy while being harder to reach. Poison and no AP make them more useful against lower Defense targets. With Defense 5+ they are as flimsy as Geckos, so careful positiong, maneuvering or some screens may be required.
			*'''Raptor Riders:''' Your saurian cavalry is your Saurian (Warrior) infantry mounted, so again 4+ Quality and Defense, with Fast, Impact and extra Claw AP(1) attack provided by mounts. Lances, adding another impact hit for each model, are almost no-brainer. Predator can grant some extra hits. Just be aware of enemy shooters or artillery, since riders still have only one wound each.

	*'''~~Chameleons:~~''' ~~Geckos with blowpipes already equipped~~. ~~Scout is helpful for getting~~ them ~~in position for sniping enemies down~~ and ~~Chameleon acts as Stealth~~ +1, all ~~but guaranteeing their safety against most archer hordes~~. ~~That said~~, ~~they're just as vulnerable to any charging hordes so they will need cover~~ and ~~probably some units to screen for~~ them.		*'''Beast Riders''': Four different units in one stat line. All of them share poor quality and defense (5+) offset by useful impact(2) and tough(3), and weapon upgrades: lances for iadditional mpact or javelins and fire bolas for short range shooting. For regular beast riders this is all. Deinonychus riders gain more impact and strider, making it more like hit and run harassing unit. Ripjawdactyls gain flying, bait and another impact hits, turning them into offensive monster. Pterodactyls also has flying, but Drop Rocks make them efficient bombers.

	*'''~~Pterodactyl Riders~~:''' ~~Your gecko cavalry are quite unique~~, ~~as they're the only such unit~~ that can ~~fly~~. ~~They are also Tough 3, allowing them to shoulder~~ some ~~damage on their own~~. Their ~~biggest sticking point is~~ their ~~modularity~~, ~~as they can either be kitted out to be charging monsters~~, ~~sniping fiends~~, ~~or something in between that drops rocks on heads~~.		*'''Gators:''' Bigger bruisers than the saurian warriors, boasting Tough(3), great 3+ Defense and devastating AP(3) weapons that can crush cavalry and heavy infantry alike. Also Predator may add some attacks. Their weakness lies in their average 4+ quality, meaning that those hits have a good chance at missing and, more troubling, a bad turn might do more damage to them than it might an equivalent unit of Saurian Warriors.

	*'''~~Saurian Warriors~~:''' ~~Your workaday close-combat infantry~~, ~~decently protected~~ with a ~~4+ defense and capable of equipping any weapon they~~ need ~~in order~~ to ~~take down~~ the ~~opposition~~. ~~Predator can help provide a small boost~~ to ~~their output as well if the opportunity arises~~.		*'''Snake Swarms:''' Swarms tend to be little more than distractions and fodder, allowing to increase activation count in this quite expensive army. Though these are a bit better offensively with Poison. Strider is also a good help here, allowing them to run to cover if you need to bait the enemy. Ambush allows placing them in unexpected places to threat vulnerable units, like artillery.

	*'''~~Guardians~~:''' ~~The most elite warriors~~, ~~blessed~~ with ~~a 3+~~ to ~~quality and defense to make an elite bunker. They're also considerably more expensive~~, ~~enough to discourage taking more than one block~~. ~~While arguable on whether or not it~~ is a ~~restriction, they are restricted~~ to ~~either their stock halberds or great weapons~~.		*'''Dragon Lizard:''' Hybrid unit, that can shoot at short range with rending, but also has Furious. Strider makes it easier to position in range of shooting, but out of range of enemy charge. 5 pts for upgrade with predator increases damage potential and is a no-brainer. Tough(6) and Defense 4+ make it moderately vulnerable to enemy attacks.

	*'''~~Raptor Riders~~:''' ~~Your saurian cavalry is considerably stronger, touting a 3+ to quality and~~ defense ~~like the guardians as well as speed and ferocity~~. ~~That said~~, ~~their weapon selection has been cut down to~~ only ~~their lances if you intend to ride on that Impact value - this means that their effect on armored~~ units ~~leaves something to be desired~~.		*'''Spiked Lizard:''' Medium range (18<nowiki>''</nowiki>) spikes with blast make this lizard efficient against low-defense hordes. In fact, this is the only source of Blast among core units, apart from Frog Mage's staff. Upgrade with Predator is again highly useful. Defense 3+ is one notch better, than of the Dragon Lizard, but still better to keep this unit out of enemy range.

	*'''Gators:''' Bigger bruisers than the saurian warriors, boasting Tough 3 ~~and devastating weapons that can crush cavalry and heavy infantry all the same. Their weakness lies in their average 4~~+ ~~quality, meaning that those hits have a good chance at missing and, more troubling~~, ~~a bad turn might do more damage to them~~ than ~~it might an equivalent unit~~ of ~~Saurian Warriors.~~

	*'''Snake Swarms:''' Swarms tend to be little more than distractions and fodder, though these are a bit better offensively with Poison. Strider is also a good help here, allowing them to run to cover if you need to bait the ~~enemy.~~

	*'''Dragon Lizard~~:''' More a mobile artillery than a proper monster~~, this ~~beast offers quite a good defense with a 2+ and Tough 3. It's central feature is its flame breath, spewing~~ out ~~a randomized number~~ of ~~attacks with AP 1, allowing it to focus more on armored units.~~

	*'''Spiked Lizard:''' Statwise, it offers the same protection as the dragon lizard and can be just as capable at defending itself. The difference is its ranged weapon: while it also spews out a random number of shots, these spikes cover a longer distance - better for handling light infantry rather than cavalry or heavy-armor units.

	*'''Frog Mage:''' Quite expensive, but it's also your most powerful wizard and most elite unit with 2+ in quality and defense. Despite that tough, it's weapons are quite ~~pathetic - Upgrading is a possibility (5 points for either more attacks~~ with ~~Rending~~ or ~~Blast and AP 1), but it~~'~~s easier to just focus on casting, possibly by buying another level of Wizard~~. You can also buy ~~ancient~~ palanquin for a mount, ~~ramping the price up considerably~~ but also providing Fear, ~~Strider~~ and more wounds to support it.		*'''Frog Mage:''' Quite expensive, but it's also your most powerful wizard and most elite unit with 2+ in quality and defense and rare Wizard(2). Despite that tough, it's weapons are quite average: Magic Beam with Deadly or 18<nowiki>''</nowiki> Magic Shock. You can also buy Ancient palanquin for a mount, costing 105 pts but also providing Fear, more attacks in melee and more wounds to support it. Another possible mount is Queztalcoatl. For alomost 700 pts it gives additional 18 wounds and 18 melee attacks. Useful in larger games.

	*'''Saurian Veteran:''' Your honest-to-goodness beatstick and a half. A 3+ to quality and defense ensures that it'll hold in a fight and it has AP 1 on even its base weapons, so you can handle not buying something bigger if need be - and if you do, they will also keep that AP 1.		*'''Saurian Veteran:''' Your honest-to-goodness beatstick and a half. A 3+ to quality and defense ensures that it'll hold in a fight and it has AP(1) on even its base weapons, so you can handle not buying something bigger if need be - and if you do, they will also keep that AP(1). Predator also allows some extra attacks. Weapon upgrades depend on planned use: Spear for Phalax unit, Lance for charging with Raptors, Great Weapons to boost AP and Dual Weapons to roll 6 dice at a time.
	**Mounts: Your veteran has two options for steeds. The raptor is your basic horse-equivalent, providing speed, Impact, and ~~two~~ more ~~attacks~~ to the offense. Your more costly option is the Tyrannosaurus, a mighty beast that provides ample ~~defenses~~, a devastating attack and Primal Roar to support your fellow ~~Saurian warriors~~.		**Mounts: Your veteran has two options for steeds. The raptor is your basic horse-equivalent, providing speed, Impact, and one more attack to the offense. Your more costly option is the Tyrannosaurus, a mighty beast that provides ample Tough, a devastating attack and Primal Roar to support your fellow units with Predator.
			**Buffs: Veteran provides one of three buffs: one standard (Fear) and two unique - described in the Special Rules section.

	*'''Gecko Chief:''' Most likely your go-to hero if you're going for cheap or if you're supporting a stronger hero. While vulnerable, the chief has a few options to handle itself. That said, this will definitely require protection from a herd of geckos.		*'''Gecko Chief:''' Most likely your go-to hero if you're going for cheap or if you're supporting a stronger hero. While vulnerable, the chief has a few options to handle itself. That said, this will definitely require protection from a herd of geckos.
	**Melee: If you're planning to focus on melee, your only option is to dual wield. If you're riding a pterodactyl, then the lance becomes available if you intend on charging.		**Melee: If you're planning to focus on melee, your only option is to dual wield. If you're riding a pterodactyl, then the lance becomes available if you intend on charging.
	**Shooting: The chief is your only hero with shooting, and it's likely that you'll pick one of these options up just to support the herd. The javelin has AP 1 and poison, a nice combination for handling larger foes if you get lucky. Fire Bolas also have AP 1 but sacrifice Poison for an extra shot. The blowpipe gives you the best range out of all these short-ranged weapons and Poison, but will fall flat against any defenses.		**Shooting: The chief is your only hero with shooting, and it's likely that you'll pick one of these options up just to support the herd.

The blowpipe gives you the best range (18<nowiki>''</nowiki>) out of all these short-ranged weapons and Poison, but will fall flat against any defenses.
	**Mounts: The pterodactyl is interesting because it offers a lot to the gecko: Flying, Fast, extra wounds, and ~~some~~ more attacks~~. Also potent are its two exclusive upgrades: Ripper Brood ups its Impact value to 3~~ and ~~provides~~ Furious, ~~making it the best pick for a chief with a lance just~~ to ~~stack it on~~. ~~Rock Bombs~~ are ~~for more dodgy chiefs who want to avoid conflict and will likely be shooting more than chopping~~.		**Mounts: Deinonychus is better and more beefy raptor: apart from Fast, two extra attacks and impact(2) it grants also extra 3 wounds. The pterodactyl is interesting because it offers a lot to the gecko: Flying, Fast, extra wounds, more impact hits and bomber capability with Drop Rocks. Ripjawdactyl is more offensive: grants Fast, extra attacks and wounds, Furious, more impact hits and Bait on top of that, to make sure, that all those attacks land.
			**Buffs: Gecko Chief can choose from three upgrades. Priest grants Wizard(1). Two other, Destined Leader and Hit & Run, are described in the Special Rules section.
	*'''~~Gecko Priest:~~''' ~~Even weaker than the chief~~, but ~~that's because~~ it~~'s not supposed~~ to be ~~up front. Its place~~ is to ~~hide among its own kind~~, ~~casting spells~~ and ~~hiding behind terrain~~.		*'''Gator Veteran''': Almost as costly as Frog Mage, but with Tough(6) and Defense 3+ it can take some hits before going down. Probably he could be used alone, without joining a unit, to increase number of activations. His gear can no be changed, so AP(4) Great Weapon is the only option
			**Buffs: Primal Roar is interesting, since this is the cheapest way of adding this ability to the army. This ability, as well as two other buffs (Ferocious and Ancient Wraith) are described in the Special Rules section.

	*''~~Lizard Handler~~:'' ~~An upgrade for your Dragon and Spiked Lizards~~, ~~this allows them to re-roll one of their die when determining the number of hits they make~~, ~~guaranteeing a better shot at handling herds~~.		*''Predator:'' Property of Saurian Warriors, Guardians, Gators, Raptor Riders and Spinosaurus. Available also for Spiked and Dragon Lizards. When they roll a natural 6 to hit, they roll an extra attack. It's pretty much your incentive to keep your lizards on the offense.
	*''Predator:'' Exclusive to your Saurian Warriors and ~~those like them~~. When they roll a natural 6 to hit, they ~~scan~~ roll an extra attack. It's pretty much your incentive to keep your lizards on the offense.		*''Primal Roar:'' Available only for Veteran on T-Rex, Gator Veteran, Spinosaurus and Dread Gator (titan). Once per activation grants two friendly units within 6" with the Predator rule the ability to proc it on a 5+ the next time they fight. Powerful, especially on units with better quality. With some luck unit can score more hits than it had initial attacks.
	*''Primal Roar:'' ~~Exclusive to your monsters~~. Once per ~~game, they can grant~~ two friendly units within 6" with the Predator rule the ability to proc it on a 5+ the next time they fight.		*''Drop rocks:'' When a model with this rule flies over an enemy unit, it can deal three AP(1) hits on a 2+. Pterodactyls come in units of [3], so with some positioning it can deal 9 AP(1) hits - pretty devastatning bombing run. However they can end up in exposed position, so be mindful.
	*''~~Rock Bombs~~:'' When a ~~unit of pterodactyls~~ with this rule ~~fly~~ over an enemy unit, ~~they~~ can ~~take~~ three AP 1 hits on a 2+. ~~Considering that these are ridden by squishy geckos~~, they'~~ll need all~~ the ~~mobility they~~ can get.		*''Bait'': Ripjawdactyl unit (or hero on Ripjawdactyl) can mark one enemy unit to get +2 to hit in melee against it. It means jumping from poor Q5+ to elite Q3+. Combined with their impacts and flying it makes ripjawdactyls strong offensive unit, especially against low-defense foes.
			*''Destined Leader:'' +2<nowiki>''</nowiki> on the Advance action and +4<nowiki>''</nowiki> on Rush/Charge. Effectively grants Fast to any normal moving units and Very Fast (10<nowiki>''</nowiki> Advance and 20<nowiki>''</nowiki> Rush/Charge) to Fast units: Raptor/Beast/Pterodactyl/Ripjawdactyl Riders.
			*''Hit & Run'': Shoot and hide by up to 3<nowiki>''</nowiki>. With Competitive Rules only two shooting units (Geckos and Chameleons) can have hero added, so this ability has limited use.
			*Ancient Wraith: Hero and its unit get +1 attack in melee while charging. Effectively Furious. More dice = better charge. Pretty strong, especially on Warriors with [10] guys.
			*Ferocious: Hero and its unit get +1 to hit in melee. Usually outshined by Ancient Wraith (see above), with one exception: hero on one big monster, that can not join unit under Competitve Rules.

Great, since most of the army is melee-focused.
