Old and overgrown for sure
There is no rule for it. Garrison says to remove the models from the table and assume they are inside the Garrisoned terrain feature. They also act as normal for all purposes. I have never had TO rule on it before though. Because most events never encounter Garrisons. At our local club we play it as though they models are are present. Without it K.O is even worse.
I'd hope so. The new Start collecting box is kind of awefull for existing armies. It just doesn't add anything existing armies won't already have in spades, or that has many loadout options. I mean, it's decent value for money, and it's a decent enough as a start for the army. But the lack of possible loadouts means you can't use it as broadly as the old one. Even without kitbashing you can get far more out of the current one. And with kitbashing the current one is just ridiculously much better.One thing to bear in mind is that they have specifically branded the SC box as Start Collecting Skinks rather than Seraphon, which to me implies that they are planning on keeping the existing SC box and possibly rebranding it as SC Saurus, and that while Skinks will likely be a strong part of the Battletome, I don’t think they will be to the extent of being a detriment to Saurus (at least not based on inferences from the SC). Also, with the whole not being Daemons thing, I read it as that some will become “Coalesced” whilst others stay as living memories, so my personal guess is that there’ll be a choice of subfactions similar to Slaanesh or Slaves to Darkness where you either get the Daemon keyword and +2 bravery or something like some extra fighting ability for the ‘living’ Seraphon. Also, assuming they keep the whole summoning thing it would seem a bit odd not to have that ‘memory’ nature in at least some of it.
Whatever the case though, we are almost certainly reading far too much into what little information we have so far!
Maybe second save? Like scaly skin from WFB. Ignore wounds and mortal wounds on 5+ for saurus units and 6+ for skink units.
If the KO rules have to explicitly state they cannot control objectives, then it would lead that normal garrisons can control objectives.
That one specifically effects K.O garrisons. We just play without for casual games because K.O is still bad. The actual rules for Garrisoning terrain can be found in the Core Rules. There is no mention of them not counting for objectives there. It is totally possible the warscroll for the zigurat will specify though.
