AoS New to AOS, go skinks!?

There you go

 

So many skinks that you're overloading the tts hahah

 

what are the "drops" your army was refered to as a 19 drop. and i keep seeing that word used but i have no clue what the reference/meaning is.

 

When setting up to fight you take turns setting up units Each unit or battalion is one drop. The first person to finish setting up gets to choose who goes first this is a very big advantage. That's why I so many people want to have low drops. Seraphon can't really get into the one or two drop range so I just go the other direction.

 

It really is kind of a flex too with having the 110 I normally run with kroak as is until the rework it is a hoot to just drop 10 skink squads here and there and just looking at your opponent shaking their head

 

so 1 unit of 30 skinks is 1 drop? and like 2 blobs of 30 skisnks, a Kroak and a starpriest would be 4 drop?

 

Yes 1 unit of 30 is 1 drop. 2 blobs of skinks is 2 drops. Including kroak and a starpriest it would be a 4 drop

 

Easy way to think about it is each unit or hero is a drop. The exception is that all the heroes and units that are in a battalion you've paid for can be placed at once, so can be one drop.

 

Good example is a slann/kroak with his 10 hp I mean 5 saurus guard

 

what is the issue with Realm Shaper Engine? is it just an auto include for any seraphon player? is there a cost to it?

 

That is a can of worms you just opened up, but as for taking it, if you want to use it, and are fielding a Seraphon army, you can take it for free.

 

Personally I will normally take it once I get mine painted just because I think it is a really neat model.

 

It's best use is basically being a cover

 

that is sad considering it's quite expensive (for a piece of terrain)

 

I mean if it was deployable along with our armies it would have great uses

 

When i try to use Celestial Conjuration, do the units i summon require their points to be counted? either prior to setting up my army and/or when they get killed?

Also as i plan to run a EotG, same question for the chance of summoning a unit of Saurus Warriors.

 

I also dont understand much about this Starborne thing XD, id there a requirement? (required unit, points, etc) and it says my army Dracothion's Tail or Fangs of Sotek keyword and that i get to use the extra abilities further in the book. two of which are the previously mentioned DT and FoS but what about the other two? Can i have a Starborne Thunder Lizard army?

 

Thunder Lizards and Koatl's Claw are both Coalesced subfactions, while the first two are Starborne

 

Darn that blows.... i really liked Starborne... i read Coalesced and find it underwhelming... considering i wanted to do Thunder Lizards i feel like my dreams got shattered.
