Has anyone used one of these before? If so, what's your analysis? How would you use him? On a flank? Behind your lines as support?
And also, what's the point in the "Beast Rider" special rule? Isn't that just explaining a combined profile? Am I missing something?

Beastride is the combined stats yeah that wasn't really a thing in 8th so they added it to explain. My thoughts on it are it isn't very good lol. It's competing against some solid alternatives is the problem. The quick to fire venom is okay vs multi wound targets and primeval roar allows it to be buff saurus units. It's more of a support unit for if you are fluffy enough to take saurus blocks.

I've never played a Trog because it is one of the weakest choices in the Lizardmen book. It costs way to many points for what it brings to the battlefield.

I like my monsters 'unburdened' so ditched the rider. The model is lovely and that whole kit is excellent. |

That's not a bad idea with the dual spit rule. Especially if he could target two separate units.

I'm gonna paint one anyway. I don't blame you, it's one of the most beautiful models in the Lizardman range. |

I'm tempted to take a few spare parts and make a second one that looks like a Crocodile swimming across the top of water. I think that'd look really cool.
