Stomped by Carnosaur lord

[Uldwick]

Alright so a couple of nights ago my buddy came over and brought his lizardmen with him, and to my surprise he didnt take out a Slann mage, but a Carnosaur lord instead. I had no idea what that thing could do but i definatly learned the hard way, so i am still in the process of figuring out how i want to build my lord here is my list


Vampire Lord lvl 1
red fury
quickblood
sword of bloodshed
5+ ward
enchanted shield
heavy armor
(looking back this may not have been the best build)

lvl 1 necromancer

48 skeletons hw/s champion
25 ghouls

6x vargheists
24 graveguard

terrorgheist
5x bloodknights

he brought

carnosaur lord
1+ armor save with dawnstone
carnosaur pendant?
4+ward
strength 7

2 skink priests

two units of 20 saurus

a block of 20 temple guard

and i beleive 24 skinks

So we roll off and i lose, literally moving his carnosaur lord right in front of my battleline, as if daring me to charge him, so i threw my units of skellies at him thinking that i would be able to beat him with static combat rez alone HA! he ate throught that unit in 3 turns, in all honesty that carnosaur was the only thing that was killing me, him and those damn skinks,

my terrorgheist destroyed his templeguard to a man(Lizard?) and my varghiests hit a unit of skinks killed most of them and got rear charged by a unit of saurus, they finished off the skinks and turned around and killed 5 saurus Ha! not too mention i had charged my ghouls into his flank and sent that unit of the table, on a bit of a sad note 1 unit of skinks poisned 3 blood knights too death, and i lost another 1 to stand and shoot and after he killed two skinks they hit back and killed him, atrocious dice rolls i know, so all this guy has left is 1unit of saurus 1 unit of skinks and the carnosaur lord plus two skink priests, so this whole game i have these two priests shooting lightning at my terrorgheist, and he only manages to inlfict 2 wounds which i regenerate, anywhoo i charge the carnosaur lord with my vamp and grave guard and it just goes downhill from there, he just chews threw that unit my vampire manages to put one wound on him and the whole unit just evaporates, and i pretty much lose everything to crumble and whats left of his army, all in all a super fun game but how do i kill that damn carnosaur?

It's kinda hard to beat the awesomeness of a dinosaur riding a dinosaur.
That's really all the input I've got, I'll let the regulars give you some tips and tactics. Best of luck!

Haha, ya tell me about it, its almost as if he didnt even need to bother bringing the rest of his army

That carnosaur will eat anything in the VC army, especially things with multiple wounds. But a solid blender lord will eat that thing for breakfast.

Charge your lord at him and in round one, take the carnosaur down. A properly kitted blender will be able to easily take down the dino in one turn with wounds to spare. THe old blood might end up doing something to your vamp, but unlikely.

In any case, taking the carnosaur down seriously hinders that dude's ability to do anything and you should be good to go from there.

Alternately, your terrorgheist or banshees will deal with the problem

Unfortunately at the time i thought it was a better idea to maximize on attacks for red fury so my lord was in no shape to take the on the carnosaur mano a mano, but i have radically changed my list, including dropping those good for nothing blood knights, and might i add the mvp of the match definatly where the vargheists, god they hit like a ton of bricks
