	*'''Ankylodon Battle Platform:''' They are simply the best. Every single point invested will return to you in form of terrifying anvil unit. They are nearly indestructible as well as they are monster hunters. They narrow profile allow them to be very agile at battlefield and whatever they charge will be stuck or routed. With CS(4) they can beat even toughest enemy, but with only 10 attacks and melee 4+ they are unable to quickly kill hordes and legions. They are but very effective as tarpit unit.		*'''Ankylodon Battle Platform:''' They are simply the best. Every single point invested will return to you in form of terrifying anvil unit.

	~~Best place for them is being hidden behind gekottah hunters waiting for enemy to took the bait.~~		*'''Fire Drake:''' Fire-breathing monster. It isn't terribly strong in melee, hitting on a 4+ with Thunderous Charge (1), but instead comes with a Breath Attack (16) to light enemy units on fire. Very effective at dealing damage in the shooting phase, but it is a bit pricey.

	*'''Fire Drake:'''

	*'''Greater Fire Elemental:''' Very durable and strong. Same as Ankylodon, he can beat big enemies, but does not have enough number of attacks to beat hordes or legions. Shambling may seem to be disadvantage, but with close mage-priest he can shoot unit with breath attack before charge and he can be great dragon hunter (not needing to see enemy flanker to assault him)		*'''Greater Fire Elemental:''' Very durable and strong.

			''Fine.''

			They army has a lot of anvils, while still holding some rather maneuverable options. Remember, in KoW combined arms is the name of the game, you're not going to lose with nothing but primes, but you're not going to win either.

			Some armies are good at counter charges, you're not. Ghekkos are good for support, but they're terrible at surviving. A smart opponent is going to wreck your support and force the dinosaurs to relive the mass extinction event, while you struggle to camp on the objectives.

			Tl;DR: Wipe his support troops before he does the same to yours, or you're going to have a bad day.

	*'''Corsairs:''' Bit of a mixed purpose unit, they can harass with pistols and charge a flank to add more attacks to a larger unit's charge when needed. Troop strength only is a little odd, and they will not hold on their own, but there are worse choices.		*'''Corsairs:''' Bit of a mixed purpose unit, they can harass with pistols and charge a flank to add more attacks to a larger unit's charge when needed.

	*'''Ghekkotah Hunters:''' More of a pure shooting unit than Corsairs, they're quick as hell and ~~come with some interesting rules~~.		*'''Ghekkotah Hunters:''' More of a pure shooting unit than Corsairs, they're quick as hell and can get Camo Cloaks for better defense at range. They can also have bows for only a few points more, which is a good option since the army in general has very few options for longer range shooting.

	*'''Ghekkotah Warriors:''' Practically ''bristling'' with attacks, they're better at Troop and Regiment levels against big-cheap-dudespam armies (Goblins, Ratkin, etc.) but won't hold long in any form. The attack profile doesn't scale up favorably at all at Horde level, but they're (surprisingly) not bad Troop support to pile on attacks - just don't expect them to be there after the dust settles.		*'''Ghekkotah Warriors:''' Practically ''bristling'' with attacks, they're better at Troop and Regiment levels against big-cheap-dudespam armies (Goblins, Ratkin, etc.) but won't hold long in any form.
