Thunder Lizard

A Coalesced constellation that reveres the great beasts as the Old Ones' mightiest handiwork. Its warhosts march beneath thundering herds of stegadons and armoured behemoths, and its solution to most military problems weighs upward of thirty tons and is already moving.

The Thunder Lizard holds a simple article of faith: that the greatest of the Old Ones' works were not the slann or the saurus, but the colossal beasts — the stegadons, the bastilodons, the mountainous behemoths that shake the ground with each stride. To the Thunder Lizard these living siege-engines are sacred, the truest surviving expression of their makers' craft, and the constellation orders its whole way of war around unleashing them.

A warhost of the constellation advances behind thundering herds of armoured monsters, skink handlers and saurus riders steering a tide of horn, plate, and tonnage into the enemy line. Its answer to a fortress wall, a massed formation, or an enemy champion tends to be the same: something weighing upwards of thirty tons, crowned with a war-engine, that is already moving and cannot easily be stopped. Subtlety is left to others; the Thunder Lizard trusts in mass, and mass rarely disappoints.

There is a devotional weight to this beyond tactics. When the great beasts of the Seraphon trumpet and charge, the Thunder Lizard's skink priests raise their voices with them, honouring the Old Ones' handiwork in the only language such creatures speak — the long roll of impact, and the silence once nothing is left to oppose them.
