After watching The Honest Wargamer coverage of Bloodshed in the Shires tournament I got inspired by the list of the Seraphon player who placed fourth(!) and decided to write my own take on it. What do you think? Allegiance: Seraphon Mortal Realm: Ulgu Leaders Slann Starmaster (260) - General - Trait: Great Rememberer - Artefact: Incandescent Rectrices - Spell: Stellar Tempest Skink Starpriest (80) - Artefact: Miasmatic Blade - Spell: Meteoric Convocation Skink Priest (80) - Cloak of Feathers - Artefact: Betrayer's Crown Battleline 10 x Skinks (70) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (70) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (70) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (70) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers Units 6 x Ripperdactyl Riders (280) 12 x Terradon Riders (480) - Starstrike Javelins Battalions Shadowstrike Starhost (180) Shadowstrike Starhost (180) Endless Spells / Terrain / CPs Balewind Vortex (40) Chronomantic Cogs (80) Geminids of Uhl-Gysh (60) Total: 2000 / 2000 Extra Command Points: 2 Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 109
Imo, swap the Starstrike Javs for sunleech bola's. When you do the swooping, you can pick a unit and re-roll ones and ontop of that, you add one to wound rolls. This synergizes exceedingly well with the sunleech bola's because when you land a successful hit with a bola, you roll that many wound rolls +1. This could do some serious damage vs bigger monsters or large units of chaff, like skaven clanrats. You're going to be going for an all in dive anyways, might as well go big or go home.
Yes good call, I forgot to switch that. The swooping dive and +1 to wound from the battalion only works in the combat phase though.
