    I just updated Tara-xotyl's warscroll. She now has a command ability. Sadly, the warscroll creator that I use doesn't have any Order keywords, just Chaos. If this book ever gets printed, then the publisher should probably write the Seraphon keyword on all warscrolls made with this website.

    I'm wondering if anybody has converted models to go with the warscrolls, because otherwise we can't use them. I know that I have a model for Tara-xotyl, but does anybody else have models for the warscrolls?

    Not as of yet, but I will have a few conversions early next week for some of them. But even concept art would be good..
    Also @PhoenixTheCat I want pics! That will be awesome

    Sadly I have no pictures of Tara-xotyl, but I could probably do a sketch of what she looks like. Something we need is concept art, exspecially of the Skink Bloodpriest.

    Haven't read through the whole thread, but adding Seraphon Worshipping mortals who use the same aesthetic. I'm thinking along the lines of Amaxons and possibly Aztecian warrior tribes.

    Neat idea though Bow.

    @Carnikang, that is an awesome idea. Seraphon worshipping mortals that design their buildings off the Seraphon's astethic would probably explain the Aztecy ruins found on some Seraphon bases.

    @PhoenixTheCat It could be in a battletome like DoT, or the newcoming BoK. Seraphon are the Daemons, and our Amaxon/Axtecans are the mortals equivilants to Blood-blanks and Birb-cultist.

    That would work really well. Of course, if this did happen, then all the warscrolls would (probably) need to be changed so the Aztecans could summon them. Would you like me to come up with concept art?

    I would say Axtecans would just need priests/priestesses that could do that.

    Some concept art would be awesome. Influences from real Aztecian Hieroglyphs and old art from Lizardmen army books are a good place to start if you don't already have some ideas in mind,.

    I already have some ideas, including Aztecan champions riding Cold Ones, similar to Tzeentch champions riding discs or Khorne champions riding Juggernauts. I suck at drawing humans, so expect stick figures.

    Depending on COld One lore/fluff, that's not an easy feat.

    Personally, Terror Birds with giant feather crests and the like would be more fitting.

    Also, fear not your skill, for it is the effort and the thought that builds on ideas.

    If you're strong enough to become a champion, then you're strong enough to ride a cold one. Terror birds would be a cool calvary idea though.

    Given that they are now willed to life by the slann, they could very easily be ridden by slann worshippers.

    I feel like we could do with some kind of wiki for this project.

    I took a look into an open source multi-user book editing tool which may be of use? Happy to try and set it up if people think it'd be useful? If you're happy managing it via the forum that's legit too :)

    But what would we put in the wiki? I could probably supply some art, but would the wiki be mostly fluff, or mostly crunch?

    I would definitely like to give it a shot, more professional looking is always better, as I will be presenting the finished product to GW. Hopefully they use some if not all of it.

    If more professional looking is better, then the battletome probably shouldn't have my crude pencil drawings. I will still let you use them if you want, to prove to my gaming partner that my art is famous.

    Crude pencil drawings can be helped out, see if @n810 can help you with digital colour, and it could go right in. Comics have pencilers, inkers and colourers, and sometimes background and character artists. Collaboration is the key to going from great to astonishing.
