The Carnosaur is one of the most fearsome and awe-inspiring creatures to stalk the jungles and plains of the Warhammer world. Native to the untamed lands of Lustria, these massive, predatory reptiles are the apex predators of their environment, rivaling even the most formidable beasts that nature can conjure. Standing as tall as a small fortress and equipped with a maw full of razor-sharp teeth, the Carnosaur is a living engine of destruction.
In the armies of the Lizardmen, Carnosaurs are ridden into battle by mighty Saurus Oldbloods or Scar-Veterans, who have proven their worth and strength through countless battles. The bond between the rider and the Carnosaur is one of raw power and mutual respect; the Saurus must exert dominance over the beast to tame it, while the Carnosaur, in turn, lends its immense strength and ferocity to the fight.
On the battlefield, the Carnosaur is a whirlwind of destruction. Its natural aggression and predatory instincts make it an unstoppable force, tearing through ranks of enemies with terrifying ease. Its roar alone can strike fear into the hearts of foes, and when it charges, nothing short of the mightiest war engines or the most powerful sorceries can hope to slow its advance.
The imagery of a Carnosaur in battle is one of primal power—a fusion of ancient savagery and martial discipline. This creature is not just a beast; it is a symbol of the Lizardmen’s connection to their ancient, primeval world, a reminder of the untamed forces that lurk just beyond the edges of civilization. To see a Carnosaur unleashed on the battlefield is to witness the raw fury of nature turned to war, a sight that inspires both awe and terror in equal measure.
