AoS General's Handbook finally announced !!

Guess you will have problems with the basti... as it not has a SAURUS keyword...

 

So it is all about deployment across the board with that starhost?

 

You are correct, you can NOT exceed the point limit. But it gives us the new deployment option of "deep-striking" parts of our army, which is awesome!
Though remember that it is not unlimited range, you still have to be 18" from the Slann (unless you're on a vortex). But you could summon a few units, and then teleport the slann to a new location, and keep summoning from there. Maximum trolling.

Fixed.

 

Only saurus units are summonable so bastiladon is not able to be summoned for free.

 

Hot darn! I'll fix that right up.

 

Looking at the wording of the command trait you can teleport the Slann itself. Put him on the field then teleport him as close as needed to the other army and start summoning guys right on top of them and theres nothing they can do about it.

Or sit him on say the left side of the table, summon half your units onto an objective there, teleport the Slann over to the right side of the table and summon more units to get board control immediately in the first round. Could be very powerful and unlocks a TON of possibilities for movement and board control.

 

Exactly and we will always be one step ahead of our opponents
@LordRibbit I can't thank you enough !

 

Ahaha, that is amazing! And hilarious at the same time...

Seraphon have really received A LOT of buffs.
They are frankly frightening now.

 

Something I noticed in the extras section of Fangs of Sotek.

-Shadowstrike isnt there, pretty dissapointing.

-"Any number of additional Seraphon units"

Thats pretty damn important. Makes your whole army a one drop regardless of what you suppliment your formation with.

 

Any builds that you would recommend against Sylvaneth?

 

Hi Guys,

I am having trouble understanding how dracotjian's tail work, and this is why.

It says in the battalion that the slann can cast as many summoning spells per turn as long as They have the saurus keyword and they are from different warscrolls (that is clear) however since this is the slann casting summoning spells would the unit size be restricted to the max descrived in the spell?

For example would I be restricted to unly summoning 10 saurus? Or would I be able to summon a unit of 40 if I wanted to?

 

Thats a very good question, I would argue its the max on the spell just cause thats what i want. But it is definitely unclear and may need a FAQ before we know for sure.

 

Wait, I thought you could only summon in the units that you prepared from your starhost? Like a multi teleportation mechanic?

 

The thing he's talking about is on the warscrolls it says if you roll X for the spell casting roll you can summon Y models. Does the battalion over ride that and you can summon 40 warriors at once? Cause going off the warscroll you can only summon a max of 20 models.

 

It sounds like it is basically a set up outside the board thing, and position them better ability. So if you set up 40 Warriors you can them summon the 40 Warriors unit.

 

I also believe this was the intent and I hope it is like this.

But it is not clear and therefore I am not sure.

 

About the fangs of Sotek, do you get that +3 bonus on charges in the first turn as well? If not, what are the advantages?
