Shawn Freed: “A vintage Thunderquake list! This list combines resiliency, ranged pressure, and swingy combat potential. Right off the bat, the formation gives all these monsters +2 wounds, putting most of them at 16, bastiladon at 14. This sits behind 4+ and 2+ saves respectively! Then the Engine of the Gods has the ability to heal D3 in a bubble every turn, with the Carnosaur and Troglodon healing an additional D3. Lore of Primal Jungles also has a healing spell that gets better with multi wound models. Since monsters still benefit from cover, this list can be incredibly hard to bring down.
The list also has a lot of ranged output, with over 40 low quality shots and 9+3d6 damage 2 attacks. All of this can be unleashed as they close the gap, which with Beastmaster handing out +2 to move, has these dinos moving surprisingly fast. Then when they get to combat, 6 of these monsters can get to damage 3!
Drekki’s Privateers add on to the ranged pressure, while providing a deepstrike and more reliable charging threat to punish weak flanks. Restless Energy fits in with the game plan, as the stampede marches into your territory with high control values, making it all but impossible to prevent steps 1 and 2 of this tactic. Taking a slow first turn can also set up for a comfortable underdog position to make Wrathful Cycles steps 1 and 2 achievable while not putting themselves too far behind.
A thoughtful and unique list, that appears to be a big damage check with 128 wounds on the big bodies, and plenty of healing and high saves. However, this list also has a surprisingly high damage output at both range and melee!”
