So, Total War: Warhammer

I like the sound of that Cold Blooded mechanic.

Interesting over the Horned Ones, looking back it does seem apparent that they don't have the "Riders", but neither do they have the "Feral". Be interesting to see how that works. The Horned One Riders were a cavalry unit in 6th Ed Southlands though, I'm sure of it, and they had the Fast Cavalry rule, but were weaker because they were ridden by skinks.

Yes, they were in that appendix list. But it wasn't the mounts that were any weaker, just the riders.

I think they said in the stream that the Horned Ones are gonna be killier than the regular feral Cold Ones, but even more prone to rampage. Apparently different units rampage at different thresholds - they said that a feral Carnosaur will rampage more readily than a Carnosaur ridden by a Scar-veteran, and a Carnosaur ridden by an Oldblood or Kroq-Gar may not rampage at all. There's a rampage threshold on the basic Saurus though so you definitely don't need "feral" in front of the name for it to happen.

So no engine of the gods?

Not unless it's incorporated in the Ancient Stegadon mount option for the Skink Priest.

Holy ****, the animation looks incredible for Saurus. Hope to god that these are in game. (The animation, I mean, I know TG are in, you know, with the video introducing them).

Total War: Warhammer 1 is on 66% off on the Steam summer sale, with 33% off all DLC. If anyone was waiting for a sale to pick it up this is probably the best deal there'll be for a while.
