Hello all Slann starmasters, I am about to have a 2v2 battle, 3000 points each side. I will use seraphon with my teammate as stormcast, vs stormcast and nighthaunt. I have a big selection of choices to do but can’t decide how to tackle this mix of swarmy nighthaunt and beefy stormcast. Any tips for the might of the seraphon army?
I have some ideas in mind and this is one of them Slann starmaster- 260 3/5 guard- 270 Eternity warden- 140 Eternal starhost battalion- 150 Flag bearer- 160 2 bastilidon- 540 1520 Keeping in mind we ain’t fussed for some points being over seeming it’s awkward to get a exact amount.
Against Stormcast and Nighthaunt levels of mortal wounds your Eternal Starhost won't even make it to turn 3. Keep the Bastiladons for picking off Stormcast, but drop out the starhost in favour of something that offers a few more wounds. As mentioned earlier in this thread, the Shadowstrike Starhost is a good hustle here.
That’s a good point, keeping in mind I do have the endless spells available to me also, and I have big options on how I could use my army. Here is what I have altogether. Slann Saurus oldblood on carnosaur Skink starpriest Flag bearer 2 bastilidon 1 engine of the old gods Troglodon 4 razadons 30 saurus warriors 20 saurus guards 15 knights 10 skinks 3 kroxigors Endless spells also available, what’s your suggestions?
I would just build a solid summoning focused Kroaknaddo. Take Lord Kroak, a Skinkstarpriest, Balewind Vortex, Chromatic Cogs, Saurus Astrolith Bearer, and Saurus Eternity warden to eat wounds for Kroak. Have your Starpriest Summon the Cogs for Kroak and then use Kroak to summon the Vortex. These units will only cost you 930 points leaving you with plenty of points to fullfill your battleline tax as required. You could even bring an Engine of the Gods for additional summoning. You will either be able to summons droves of reinforcements to overwhelm the Nighthaunt or throw out tons of mortal wounds from Kroak to chew through the Stormcast Eternals.
