ARMY WIDE Jungle Fighter: All models move through jungle, woods, and forest as open ground and do not suffer any penalty. (Excluding Mounts) 

*Temple Guard: The 0-1 choice per Slaan will be gone, though you won’t be able to bring an entire army of them…maybe 1 per 1 Saurus unit? Also can have upgrade (or come with it?) that all their Attacks count as Magical!

*Terradons: Cheaper, still Unit Strength 1, 2 Spawnings available to them (Quetzel/Sotek).

*Saurus Warriors: 2 pts cheaper, Magical Banner for 1 unit if you’re lead by Saurus Old Blood (as general), one of the Spawnings is changing-move through Difficult/Woods as if it were open.

*Saurus Cav: 4 pts cheaper, can take one Spawning only, limited to Quetzel, Sotek, and 2 others…

*Temple guards will be cheaper by 2 points, plastic instead of metel, going back to being special (With slann on the field CORE). Better options (blessed mark, carry great weapon, light armour) and still able to carry magic banner

*Skink will have th option of cohorts or skrimisher, will have “hate skeven”, able to mount on horn ones once again(in that case, they will have light armour and sheild). carry blessed mark (yay!) and will have the option of kroxigor/skinks skirmisher as a unit

*Skink preist and Skink Chief will have the option of blessed mark (including Itzl), have the option on mounts (terradon, horn ones, or cold ones) Not bad so far! There’s more.

*Predetory fighter will change into what might give the saurus warriors the advantage in combat. Something to do with stubbornness (I’ll get more info later on)

*Kroxigors will or might get light armour

*Arcanodaon will become a real model

*Snakemen will be introduce as archer with poison attack and are not slow in terrain.
