Nov 02, 2019 Have any suggestions for the next Total War: Warhammer 2 Custom Battle? Just ask in the comments! Recorded on my desktop Intel® Core i7-9700K, 3.6 GHz (4.9 GHz Turbo Boost) ASUS MAXIMUS XI HERO. The stratification of Saurus Warriors has bothered me ever since the Lizardmen were released as it started out unbalanced. Whether you believe the Shielded variant are OP or the unshielded variant are UP, they should be about 100 gold apart. That means either: Saurus Warriors - 700 G Saurus Warriors w Shield - 800 G or Saurus Warriors - 725 G. Total War: WARHAMMER II. The saurus warriors are amazing anti horde infantry but struggle against heavy armour, when I played a malkeith campaign saurus warriors.

Description[edit | edit source]
When the Lizardmen march to battle, it is the Saurus who make up the hardened core of the fighting forces. This is no surprise, for the Saurus were created solely for the purpose of war and protection. The Old Ones cultivated this race of reptilian warriors, although whether they created them entirely, or raised them up from some primordial life form of the jungles, is not clear. What is assured, however, is their role and function. In the prehistory of the world, a time before the coming of Elves or Dwarfs, it was the Saurus who pacified the lands, fighting great battles and exterminating entire species in accordance with the Old Ones' plans. Although unable to master more complicated devices, Saurus use simple weapons to devastating effect - wielding obsidian-tipped spears and heavy clubs spiked with jagged stones. Using their great strength, Saurus can leave the roads and hack through the dense jungles of Lustria using brute force alone.
Abilities[edit | edit source]
- ↑Predatory Senses: These units are natural hunters that can sense prey hiding nearby.
- ↓Primal Instincts: When under pressure, the primal instincts of these natural predators take over. They then may go on a rampage against nearby enemy units, attacking the closest one and ignoring any orders given.
- ↑Shielded: Shields have a chance of blocking arrows, bolts, rifle shots and similar small arms fire - but only in a forward facing arc.
Strategy[edit | edit source]
- They are the shielded variant of the Saurus Warriors, making them less susceptible to enemy missiles and more armored. They are the backbone of every Lizardmen army and provide a reliable force that can hold its own against most opponents. Saurus Warriors with Shields function similarly to Saurus Warriors, though their added protection allows them to take on opposing skirmishers and survive longer in melee.

Historical Description
Saurus Warriors Total War Battle
Saurus Scar-Veterans, also known simply as Saurus Leaders, are the most powerful of their savage kind. More than simply eight feet of savage reptilian muscle, Scar-Veterans are perfectly designed killing machines, their martial prowess further enhanced by battle experience. To their foes, be they ancient nemesis or simply those who trespass upon the sovereign territory of their masters, the Saurus leaders are nothing less than the vengeance of the Old Ones made manifest. All Saurus Warriors are spawned with the knowledge of how to fight, and the longer each lives, the more battles he survives. The longer he survives, the more he understands the needs not just of a lone warrior, but also of an entire army. While a Scar-Veteran cannot explain the meaning of a refused flank, he will know how to launch such a manoeuvre. A Saurus Scar-Veteran could not express why he chose a defence in depth to defeat a foe, yet he will inexorably recognise when such situations are called for and react accordingly. With only a low, grumbling growl and a final bellow, a Scar-Veteran can set an entire Lizardmen battleline in order. Once combat begins, Scar-Veterans hurl themselves into the fray with merciless efficiency. Each stroke, bite or thrust dispatches a foe, often with the enemy literally torn limb from limb by the ferocity of the attack.
