Saurus isn't a proper English word, rather the name for a fictional Warhammer race. It's identical to the Latin word for for lizard and only used as an ending to describe creatures of the same taxonomy. In this context both plural forms would work. The standard Latin and the standard English plural are fine. |

Saurii seems right to me, but might sound a bit know it all. Like pretending you've done a biological study of the fantasy race.
Officially plural has in the past been referenced as Saurus. However I get the impression that GW tries to avoid the plural like the plague. So Saurus maybe the unofficial official plural.......if you get my meaning. |
