Hi all, I could use your help and feedback. I am tryting to build a (semi)-compentative starborne saurus army. However, I always have a difficulty to see what works in real just based on reading. I have this as base. I love the salamanders so I would like to use them buffed by the star priest and use the teleport on them. Still somehow it feels a bit off. I wonder if I should use a Slann instead of Lord Kroak ( who I love). I also have 100 point left for spells which I am not sure how to use. If I change the Slaan in, then I would have more point to add maybe one more heros. What do you guys think? Allegiance: Seraphon - Constellation: Dracothion's Tail - Mortal Realm: Hysh Leaders: Lord Kroak (320) - Spell: Stellar Tempest Skink Starseer (140) - General - Command Trait: Ancient Knowledge - Artefact: Godbeast Pendant - Spell: Tide of Serpents - Ancient Knowledge Spell: Celestial Harmony Skink priest (70) Saurus Sunblood (130) Saurus Oldblood (110) Battleline: 30 x Saurus Warriors (270) - Clubs 20 x Saurus Warriors (180) - Clubs 20 x Saurus Warriors (180) - Clubs 5 x Saurus Guard (100) 12 x Salamanders (240) Battalions: Sunclaw Starhost (160) Total: 1900 / 2000 Extra Command Points: 1 Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 128 Total: 1900 / 2000 Extra Command Points: 1 Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 128
looks good i would throw geminids in there but the rest seems fine if you love kroak use him he is very good
I like @Erta Wanderer's suggestion of brining Bound Geminids. I would further recommend drooping the Oldblood to bring a Scar-Veteran on CO. The ScV and the Oldblood's Command ability will math out to be almost identical. However, the in the current meta there a couple list who stack negatives to hit. -3 is sadly not that uncommon. At which point exploding hits on an unmoded six becomes way better.
I switched out for the Scar Veteran on CO for now. I will test it today against SE and Thursday against Deepkin (which will be painful). I also have realised that I haven't picked a second artifact yet.
Good eye. I totally just read it as Master of Star Rituals because that is what the Starseer always takes. LOL
I played the game yesterday. It went well and I won. I was underwhelmed by the Carnosaur to be honest. His 4+ really means I need to pick the target right for him when I charge. I know that now. Lord Kroak is a named character. That would mean that he cannot take command trait right? So I cannot give him the Ancients Knowledge.
Sorry, I didn't really have a suggestion, and I don't think I'm the best at army construction. I asked because at first it seemed like the priest didn't fit the list. Then I remembered that salamanders have the skink keyword, and can really benefit from the priest's abilities. How did the sallies/priest do? Congrats on the victory!
