Slann Starmaster (260)

- Trait: Great Rememberer
- Artefact: Incandescent Rectrices

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 :D Not sure what is best
 
Agree. That could be a fun list against that melee horde alpha strikes.
 
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 :)

@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

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 :D
Btw, will face Nighthaunt tonight, trying to take photos for a battle report !
