AoS Compilation of GHB2017 for Seraphon

Its pretty clear in the GHB you get to choose your artifacts based on your allegiance. If you Seraphon Allegiance you are not order allegiance so you can't take the order artifacts.

 

Just got mine in the post, anyone got anything they want to know?

 

@Aginor Siege rules seem quite extensive. Basically for the offensive team there are three ways to wear down defenders, starve, batter and tunnel whereas defenders can defend against this with gather supplies, re-build and counter-tunnel.

Starve, roll a dice for each defending unit, on a result of 5 or more (6 or more if the unit is a hero) the unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.
Batter, roll a dice for each defending terrain feature, on a 5 or more the terrain feature has been breached.
Tunnel, both attacker and defender roll a dice, if the attacker's roll is high you can pick one hero and two other units (can't be monsters) to move through the tunnel, they emerge at the start of any of their movement phases.

That's the main gist, then there are two battleplans with more details.

 

In the app our beloved Skink Chief still has the Seraphon keyword. Might be that they forgot to update..

 

Nvm everything was answer in another thread

 

@Aginor @Jason839 Definitely think it's viable at 2000pts, I have written up a list with Draco's Tail in and looks pretty strong.

 

Here is a list that I believe would work well:

Seraphon Oldblood on Carnosaur (Coronal Shield)

Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (Blade of Realities)

Skink Priest

Skink Starpriest

Slann Starmaster (General, Vast Intelect, Incandecent Rectrices)

3 x (5) Saurus Cavalry

2 x (20) Skink Units

1 x (6) Ripperdactils

Dracothion's Tail

Firelance Starhost

Shadowstrike Starhost

With this configuration you have a single deployment, everything in dracothion's tail:

You would deploy the two units of skinks, the star priest and the priest, and a unit of saurus knights.

on the first turn roll for constellation and hope to get the +1 to charge, if not try to change it, summon the two carnosaurs as they are different warcrolls, summon one unit of cavalry, strap the trap with the ripperdactils and use masters of space and time to move the skink priest or in not necessary the other unit of taurus knights. Cast the curse of father and than use priestly trappings, if it doesn't go off on a 3 use the curse of dice roll to make it pass.



If you do this right you should be able to charge 6 rippers 2 carnosaurs and a unit of saurus knights on the first turn. That should be enough to destroy anything threatening.

meanwhile use the two units os skinks and the other unit of taurus knights to get objectives.



how do you guys like this one?

 

I love that list!one drop lists arte so rare in this metà i predict. And your plan Is amazing! Tell me how it works if you test it soon

 

I love your list But why take a Starpriest if you already have vast intellect? Why not 2 Priests so that you are almost certain to gain the area buff?

Also I take it you mean that the Slann would summon the two Carnosaurs through the Skink hero with "Arcane Vassal"?

Also, don't you get a 4th item? Since you also use the Dracothion's Tail Starhost. If so, maybe give the D3 mortal wounds (on a 3+ dice roll) within 12" to one of your Skink Priest units? Just put them close enough, and roll some extra mortal wounds

 

I definitely will... I have high hopes for it

The starpriest is to be able to guive the carnosaurs the double damage and to be able to cast also mistic shield and arcane bolt

Yes, it is an option depending on what is more beneficial

I think you are right! I am mising an item! That is great news will hsve to think what to choose.

 

Ah got it But I mean, you will only be able to summon those units in. So it's either 18" into enemy territory, or 9" away from enemies if you teleport your Skink Priest around right?
