HYPE HYPE HYPE!!!! Durability is one of Seraphon's biggest weaknesses. Really hope they get some Mortal wound negation. So excited!!
Just went through all the images and the units that haven't shown up yet are: Skink Priest Razordons Saurus Scar Vet on Cold One Saurus Oldblood on Foot Saurus Sunblood Astrolith Bearer Lord Kroak I wouldn't be surprised if the Astrolith Bearer and maybe the normal Skink priest are gone and the Oldblood on Foot get his model removed and is only available through the Carnosaur but I really want to know why the Razordons and Kroak weren't shown
Those are definitely the various storm vault kits. I had to build 3 tables worth that terrain for a event my club put on. lol
They could be gone, but it would be purely speculation. I could see the old Skink Priest disappearing, but I would be surprised if we lose the Astrolith Bearer due to the role he plays in our summoning mechanics.
OOPS! I was wrong! Knights showed up in one of the first images. I guess I tried to block out those sleepy looking Cold Ones... ha ha ha. Sorry about that. Edit: However, it does make me wonder what GW might do with the rules for Knights? If they keep them roughly like they are now (which based on the warrior stat line we saw it's likely), it's the choice between hit: 3 / rend -1 club, or hit: 4 with the chance for a mortal wound spear (either on the attack or the wound). It would be nice to have range: 2 on those spears/lances at least.
Also, anyone else notice that the Sacred Asterisms are no longer linked to the Slann Warscroll. They also say you get to choose them. Not being forced to take a Slann in Coalesced for those will be nice.
For weapon loadouts missing are Skinks with blowpipes (Both with shield and clubs) Saurus Knights with blades (only the Alpha had them in the image) Scarvet on Carnosaur with Greatblade Bastiladon with Ark of Sotek Stegadon with Sunfire Throwers and the Skink Alpha version I don't think we will lose any of them Your are right forgot about that but I still think his old model will be gone
On the subject of the Oldblood, I wonder how carnosaurs will get changed. I think it’s almost certain that they will both get 3+ saves. I’m also guessing more attacks and better rend for them
Also in the Temple image the Skink Starpriest is on a 32mm base but in the big one it looks like its on his old 25mm base so could be changed? Or could just be a mistake they did on one of them
I would hope so. Them and the Trog need a bit of rend on their melee attacks. Though the Carno needs it more considering it's a melee hero. Frogs are exciting still. I'm thinking of getting a second one.
I too am hoping this is the outcome. With any luck we will still have the sign of the Mage's Staff and the Hunter. Just getting an army wide +1 to casting is great. Add in the Saurus AB if he stays unchanged and your Trogg could be looking at an impressive +3 to casting. Maybe even we will get some bonuses to unbinding or something like a dispel scroll.
I think they doubled down on the support role of the trog with the buffs to his casting. its gonna end up like a fyreslayer magmadroth with a smiter… not really a close combat monster, but able to be close support and maybe fight its way out of a wet paper bag if it gets caught lol
and if th eoracle is getting +3 to cast.... slann or kroak CANNOT get less, logically speaking... although it is GW lol
IKR. I am just hopping Kroak will have a +2 built into his warscroll and that the Slann Starmaster will be +1. It is a big ask, but fluff certainly supports it. Oh, and for them still to cost the same MPP
If any of the base sizes are changed, where will it be shown? I am just finishing to rebase my army...
It will be updated in the generic base size guide that GW puts out on their FAQ/Errat pg. It likely won't be up to date until after the battletome releases though.
