Tutorial Seraphon List for Battletome 2.o

You could move it after set up, but then no one could move it on any start of round. LOL. Unless your opponent were a Seraphon.

 

That is why it is an issue. The SIAB lets you ignore warscroll restrictions such as it only being cast by "x" aligned hero. Bound Endless Spell are a Seraphon thing. So it is under the bound endless spell rules in the Seraphon Battletome.

 

Define "few"... because 3 of them are already able to wreck things

 

You are actually the second person to ask me that today.

Allegiance: Slaves to Darkness
- Damned Legion: Host of the Everchosen (Eighth Circle)

Leaders:
Archaon the Everchosen (800)
- General
- Aura of Chaos: Slaanesh
- Spell: Ruinous Vigour
Gaunt Summoner (240)
- Spell: Call to Glory

Battleline:
3 x Varanguard (300)
- Mark of Chaos: Slaanesh
3 x Varanguard (300)
- Mark of Chaos: Slaanesh
40 x Chaos Marauders (300)
- Axes & Shields
- Mark of Chaos: Slaanesh

Endless Spells / Terrain / CPs:
Realmscourge Rupture (60)

Total: 2000 / 2000
Extra Command Points: 0
Allies: 0 / 400
Wounds: 95

 

If you want to go Cabalist or Ravagers then I wold drop a unit of 3x Varanguard and bring another 40x Marauders

 

Thought I should post a quick reference table showing my views on when to place and when to decline placing the Realmshaper Engine. This was originally posted in a dedicated RSE thread.

There are some match ups where I will elect to not place my Realmshaper Engine on the table, some situations that are a toss up, and some where the potential benefit is too good to pass up. Here is a quick guide to my current theory on when to use and not use the RSE. If there is enough community interest then I will begin the process of a more in depth guide to Realmshaper Engine usage.

Times to Place It:

• Your opponent doesn't have a good reason to garrison.
• You stand to gain a great advantage if you decided territories (Exp: Heavy shooting list who are mobile such as CoS and DoT).
• There is no substantial risk if you fail to win the territory roll off.
• You need every advantage, luck included, to beat your opponent.

Times to Elect Against Placing:

• The opponent has units that greatly benefit from Garrisoning and don't require being mobile (Exp: Nagash).
• The opponent will greatly benefit from line of sight blocking.
• Your opponent having the terrain is greater than any benefit you would receive from having it.
• There is substantial risk if you fail to win the territory roll off.

Great Uses:

• Blocking movement.
• Constricting a deployment zone.
• Blocking line of sight.
• Baiting a misdeploy (Exp: you can draw support units out of effective range).
• Causing additional decision making for an opponent.
• Creating an additional focal point to battle over. (Exp: Placing the RSE in neutral territory vs an elite army might leave your opponent with having to surrender the RSE or an objective)

I like Knight Azyros a lot in SCE list. His main weakness in Seraphon is that he lacks Scions of the Storm to deploy him where needed. Generally this will mean you are relying on your opponent to come to you, or you having to deploy him on the line and run him forward to guarantee him being in range of the correct enemy unit.

In terms of optimal unit usage, I would rather spend 50 of the 100 points he cost to buy an extra command point so that I can reroll one for the unit who needs it most and then put the left over points into an endless spell or something else. It doesn't have as good of a potentially long term use, but turn 1-3 is where the Knight Azyros would normally matter most. And in my experience he gets taken off the table within a turn of him being where he needs to be.

The Knight Azyros is still a very strong unit. If you like it and see it having good use in your army then you should definitely bring one along.

 

That is my take on the Knight Azyros for Seraphon.
