40 blocks of skinks shooting when they get charged and doing mortal wounds on 6's can be strong. I agree on the others, but theres gotta be some losers in the book.
Yeah -2 clubs for starhost sunclaw is spicy for sure. Adding rend on jaw attacks adds a pile of rend attacks for coalesced sunclaws
you can but warriors are better line troops now for holding objectives 3 salamanders and a block of 40 saurus do work
i'm actually in that space right now i think the biggest problem is all the buffs are wholly within, most cost command points, and at the end of the day you probably just want more units. The hero breakdown will be interesting.
take what buffes what your taking old blood on foot and sunblood for suarus skink priest for salamanders and monsters add as much spell casting as you think you need and at least one star priest for MWs
See, that's already a ton of points in heroes that aren't really all that great outside their buffs. The skinks heroes are also 5 wound, shit save models so anything with any kind of shooting attack is taking them off no problem. I think you'll see even less. A small, tight list of heroes and then just tons of units.
Considering the results Seraphon have been putting out in tournaments, and that we've been living off of GHB, Seraphon was doing pretty good before this tome. We have better performance than some of the armies that got new books.
I'm just so glad to see the troglodon buffed, getting to field what i consider to be one of my best painted minis is a great boon
i plan on a slann a star priest and the 2 saurus with 90 wariors and geminids all the rest of the points will be krox
Getting high placings required you to be really really good and even then relied on a few gimmicks (and ignoring half the book) to get the army to any sensible placing.
but you don't like skinks spam. and that wasn't my point as a faction we where entirely dependent on our cheesy bulshit as all of our warscrolls(the thing that where already bad) did nothing for us
I think lines of sotek skinks backed up by kroxigors is going to be good. Kroxigors can fight behind skinks with 2' range and have a strong statline. Saurus could also work, but may be too slow, maybe knights.
