So after a bit of talk with Chris welfare on the what's app group. I came to this list. Allegiance: Seraphon Mortal Realm: Shyish Engine of the Gods (220) - Artefact: Ethereal Amulet Slann Starmaster (260) - General - Trait: Great Rememberer - Artefact: Incandescent Rectrices Skink Starpriest (80) Skink Starpriest (80) 20 x Skinks (120) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (60) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (60) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 3 x Skink Handlers (40) 1 x Salamanders (40) Bastiladon (280) -Arks Bastiladon (280) -Arks Bastiladon (280) -Arks Thunderquake Starhost (120) Aethervoid Pendulum (40) Geminids of Uhl-Gysh (40) Total: 2000 / 2000 Extra Command Points: 1 Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 95 So i got a big wall that will mass MW anything that approach, and some Endless spell with a teleporting Starpriest. skinks will screen sides if needed. Concept is anything in combat with one of the basti will be in range of the ark of the 2 others, meaning 6 MW each COMBAT PHASE. Anything non hordes might think about it. Also 2 basti will have 3+ rerollable and the last one mystic shield. Also geminids will help those surviving. Will test it against SCE Friday !
Looks like a fun list. Why the double Skink Starpriest instead of two more Sallies? Just to help casting the endless spells?
Well initially , got 4 sallys and no additionnal Priest + Pendulum. I added a priest and pendulum for potential teleport and damage Not sure what is best
I like at least one Skink Starpriest. The extra Wizards is nice and Summon Starlight is extremely strong.
Looking forward to hearing how this worked! I personally haven't seen the arks in any lists lately. Also, let us know how you went about positioning all the big bases
Updated list a bit before tomorrow's game Allegiance: Seraphon Mortal Realm: Shyish Leaders Slann Starmaster (260) - General - Trait: Great Rememberer - Artefact: Incandescent Rectrices Engine of the Gods (220) - Artefact: Ethereal Amulet Skink Starpriest (80) Battleline 10 x Skinks (60) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (60) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (60) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers Units 4 x Salamanders (160) 3 x Skink Handlers (40) Behemoths Bastiladon (280) - Ark of Sotek Bastiladon (280) - Ark of Sotek Bastiladon (280) - Ark of Sotek Battalions Thunderquake Starhost (120) Endless Spells Geminids of Uhl-Gysh (40) Chronomantic Cogs (60) Total: 2000 / 2000 Extra Command Points: 1 Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 90 @Furnus Will try to take photos during game against Stormcast ( Stardrake list or full sequitor / evo )
Hey there, first test on the field of the Ark. Was against 1500 pts sylvaneth on the heroes / behemoth control scenario. We played Vanguard restriction so i got 2 basti with arks, 4 salies 30 skinks 2 starpriest, a slann and some endless. My oponent got Durthu, Treelord ancient, some dryads, branchwhych/wraith and some kurnoths. To sum up. the basti bro tanked from turn 1 to 3 the 2 Trees. Finally killing durthu and putting Ancient to 10 w before he fled. However one was killed when Durthu finally found a hole in their defence. The MW before he hits allow me to never see that flat damage sword <3. they did consistent damage, and it ramp up fast ! Then the survivor got teleported near THE wood, 10 dryads, the 2 branch and some tree revenants. Snakes got the branchwraith that was wounded and gave me victory cuz i got no other way to get the objectives back. Also he spread MW very well ( 4 units in the 8 inch <3) They gave me the game, and they were'nt in Thunderquake. Look forward to test !
2nd update after other games : > First one , Stormcast ( vanguards ) + Seraphon vs StormCast + Nurgle ( 2*1000 vs 2*1000) Got 2 ark bastiladons here, they made the game for us , the first one killed 2 chars / half a marauder horde and 2 fulminator, the other one Hold a GUO, 5 blightking while killing 20 Plaguebearers. In the end we lost in objectives but they did a wonderfull work while being separated all along. > 2nd one : Seraphon vs Sylvaneth ( 1500 ) Got 2 basti arks and a thunderquake vs the classic 2 trees ( ancient / durthu ) lots of dryads , the double Branch and a unit of bow kurnoth . Hard game because whenever i can catch them they fly away. In the end i can catch both big trees with the whole batallion and managed to kill the Ancient, So much mortal wound ! I won by an inch the game. > 3rd one : Seraphon vs Phoenix temple ( 2000 ) 1 thunderquake ( double Ark ) + one Arkiladon. Against me 3 blocks of Phoenix guard , 3 frost phoenix and Aventis. Gave him first turn to plan double turn. He placed poorly and i got it. So turn 2 we got 20 Phoenix guards, aventis and 2 phoenixes stuck with 3 Arkiladon and an Engine. that just sealed the gam as he killed only one basti ( god they are so tanky with the heal and the 3+ rerollable ) Also the 4+ ward helps them so much to deal with the 2/3 mortals each combat. Win So to me aside the little randomness which decrease so much if you face 3+ units ( fairly common ) they are an absolute pain to face. They can tank they world. The 2 Downside are that the battalion have to stick together. However you dont have to chose between using their tankyness but dont chose the target ( Crystal version) or the opposite ^^ Also they are very slow but Double teleport helps. Will face Nighthaunt and stormcast next weeks and give update
Well, sounds like you have something. Nice idea, indeed. A pity (?) I've got only 2 basti w ark, but that's still good, it seems If you could take some pictures, that would be great!
Here is one of the clusterfuck from my yesterday game. ( the engine against Aventis is a basti proxy, got 2 more to build ^^) Will take more
Good. Given that the list is interesting, if you manage to do a well developed report with pictures, i'll see to insert it in our BatReps index.
I actually tried summoning just one basti with snakes in yesterday in a 2v2 (4x 1k) battle were it was Nurgle + Seraphon vs. Stormcast + Stormcast. The basti really did well and it was a pleasure to actually be able to damage dracoths with their +3 save rerolling ones as well as Vandus with +2 rerolling ones
Yea it's weird being able to do MW as seraphon Btw, will face Nighthaunt tonight, trying to take photos for a battle report !
