In my Heart, Kroq-Gar made it onto the ships and survived in Age of Sigmar. Not even the destruction of an entire setting can stop this walking War crime Generator.

In The seraphon Models there is The model of kroqgar with is big chunky dinosaur boy

[@joaogomes9405]

They're not war crimes because none of Kroq-Gar's victims have any rights. Only dino boys and big toads have rights

[@pile-o-nonsense3688]

Sadly, no. If he survived the attack on Lustria he would have later starved to death with almost all other existing Lizardmen. On the other hand, he was such an absolute murder machine that it appears that he burned himself into the minds of the Slann who then tried to print him from memories mixed with raw magic which would explain why his model is still usable lore-wise.

[@chimera916]

In my Heart, the Old World still exist, Because the NON SENSE of End Times story has not ended in such non sense way. So Age of Shitmar doesn't exist at all.

Lystrosaurus was a herbivorous dicynodont synapsid from the Late Permian and early Triassic Periods (roughly 255-240 Million years ago). It was a meter long pig like thing with splayed legs and a short beak and a pair of tusks. It was notable for surviving the End Permian extinction event, otherwise known as the Great Dying, which killed between 70-90% of all life on earth. When the dust settled, Lystrosaurus was in an empty world and soon filled it. For the first few million yeas of the Triassic period up to 95% of all land vertebrates by mass were lystrosaurus.

[@codybonds]

So he was the equivalent of an ancient roach? Very cool history there, thanks for sharing. I always forget the dinosaurs had multiple mass extinction events before them.

[@ImperatorZor]

@@codybonds Lystrosaurus came before Dinosaurs (which showed up about 230 MYA ago or so). Also as a Synapsid, it's closer to us. In the Carboniferous period, land vertibrates were basically salamanders. Then one type became optimized for life on land, laid eggs with shells and became more like a lizard. The first of these were Anapsids, from which two lines diverged from them: Synapsids (which had have a pair of extra holes in the skull and are the ancestors of mammals) and Diapsids (which had two sets of holes in the sides of the skull and were the ancestors of Reptiles, Dinosaurs and Birds).

@@codybonds in the triassic/jurassic border there was also a mass extinction event, which likley head started the dino era. Because the earliest dinosaurs survived it, whilst many other groups of animals did not. During the triassic dinosaurs were just one of many animal groups spreading around the world. E.g. Diictodontia and other therapsids (mammal ancestors), other archeosaur relatives and else.

Didn’t Kroq-gar leave the doomed city with a group of survivors and fought an unending guerilla war through which eventually over time him and Grymloc were the only ones left? I’m not worried to much about it though, you probably shortened it for brevity’s sake and to put emphasis on those two.

I kind of admit, I wish they had a proper 'This is the Dino Lizard man' LL for them. Kroq used to be the closest thing to it with armor buffs to dinos, but they made him more saurus focused...I don't mind it too terribly much, but if nothing else I would love to see a lord specifically for the Dino ball of Doom.

[@jonathanwatson4484]

the line "when a badass loses an arm it only makes them stronger" that line is so true even in history, there were examples like Gor the iron hand, a knight who lost his left hand but fought in many battles, lord nelson who fought in some of the grandest sea battles and the most coolest British office in world war one and world war two, General Adrian Carton De Wart, a man who fought in the front lines lead multiple charges, was shot about more then 11 times survive all of them including a bullet to the face, lost his left hand (by lost he asked the doctor to amputate it but the doctor said no, so he did it himself) then in his late 60s in world war 2 he fought with the polish restience was captured but lead multiple escape attempts, actually survive till the end and died in his bed peacefully, he had I think sustain elven injuries that were very much leathy, including falling down the stairs near his retirement, some people would say he was luckily and asked why he would fought in both wars, the man answered practically when he was asked about his view on world war one he replay "I actually love the war, really" note, this man was on the front lines, witness the battle of sollum, experience mustard gas, shot in the eye and lost his left arm and he said he love it, the man is very much different kind of solider I swear he be the kind of person to ask God for more harder battles.

I played kroq gar in tw:w2 vortex on very hard, quickly made my way down to the harbor city and thought "hey, I'll explore that island" and was almost destroyed by a fully stacked undead pirate army. as Skaven took my capital and made me unable to recruit new saurus I pulled myself north and settled the northern jungles, depleting my army further. Two armies of Skaven and Beastmen approached. Then I summoned a dinosaur army and took all southern Lustria.
