AoS Thoughts on potential new codex for Seraphon 2020?

Endless spells would be really nice.


Which would make sense since we are a very magical faction.

 

Crackpot theories going forward with Seraphon new book. Civil war between those devoted to Sotek vs those devoted to Dracothian! The Kroxigor revolution to rid themselves from their Skink oppressors and/or the declaration of indendence of summoned seraphon from their non-demon masters the Slaan!

 

well that would be an upset you would have to give minds and soals back to all the seraphon for it to work aaannndd change the inherent nature of kroxigor.

 

It’s a wack idea, and is almost certainly not going to happen.

but it would make for an interesting short story!

 

Hmm... a rather interesting idea. Personally, I think it would be pretty cool if they came up with some way for the Slann to reconnect with the Old Ones to some degree. Maybe bringing back blessed spawnings or granting new abilities based on a particular Old One's blessing?

 

bringing back the old ones would be cool since the new gods have such a presence in the mortal realms we might get to see what they are and if they would join the gods of order or start a new pantheon

 

As @Erta Wanderer said the old ones coming back would be awesome and fits in well with the presence of gods in AoS. Also blessed spawning would be awesome and would add the personalization that other factions have. It would also allow us to pack a lot more punch into our units

 

It would be a really good way to give the Seraphon some sort of specific purpose in the new mortal realms other than "we don't like chaos." I don't think they would even need to fully bring back the Old Ones in the flesh if they didn't want to go that route. Perhaps something like with how all the realms are reorganized now it catches the Old Ones attention, or allows them to reconnect with the Slann again, albeit somewhat faintly, after contact being cut off during the first chaos incursion.

This could give a lot more story-based lore and meaning to the Seraphon. The Great Plan failed in the Old World, but with some sort of renewed contact with their creators they could have renewed purpose in continuing the Great Plan in the new one. Again, something other than just them being mad at chaos.

 

i don't think the great plan works any more the whole point of it was how the old world should work and how the people the old ones made should behave. now half of the races where made by the current gods so they wouldn't be a part of it.
i do think we need more to go on then just anti chaos and seeing sotec on the table would be cool

 

Well maybe the great plan did eventually involve the lesser races learning how to create races themselves. It's more than doable to make that doable.

 

As mentioned before, I think that reconnecting with the old ones is a great way to move the story forward.

It could give the slanns purpose and restart the great plan.

Restart the lizard empire whit the greater plan.

Great ideas guys!

 

I would honostly like to see more named characters than just Kroak aswell. Would just add a level on personality I feel to the army. Because so far it's just, Kroak and all the nameless summons.

 

Some named Slann is likely what we will get in our new battletome, possibly a named old blood or scar veteran

 

I would like to see us get 2 more named Slann, considering in our current battletome we already have a prominant Slann that's been named. Why doesnt he have a warscroll?
We already have Kroak, who is a mortal wound bomb.
Make the already named slann (I forgot his name) an amazing summoner. Changes will most likely come to our summoning ability. So why not let us use our current named Slann, who does a lot of summoning anyway, even better at it than a normal slann.
Finally give us a 3rd named one. Bring us a Slann who is not afraid to get his hands dirty. I'm talking about one that just goes into battle on a stegadon, ready to get shit done. Like a new Mazdimundi and Zlaqq.

After that, why not give us a named Skink priest. Just someone who has some special rites that can really buff our units.
Followed by an actual beatstick on foot. Honostly something like Nakai or more likely an Ancient kroxigor. I would say this would be just a living wall of stupid. Hard to move and kill unit.
Finally a Saurus like Kroq-Gar. An old blood on Carnosaur, that makes all of our big dinos better. Too really bring out the true savage nature of our creatures.

Now I know this does give us 6 named characters, but personally I think that most armies should have a few named characters. It adds to the lore and can help make different lists more viable. But this is just my opinion. (I'm also upset there were no named characters for the ogor mawtribes, but that's another thing)

Lastly, I would love to see us gain the feral dinosaurs from Total War. Cheaper, non mounted versions of our current creatures. Wouldnt even need new models, can just our current ones.
Would love to see some feral Carnos running around with feral cold ones.

But that's just me

 

I think that one was Kuoteq? And yeah, it would be really nice to see him get a warscroll. I hope that summoning remains close to what it is now, but I understand that they might want to change it a bit if they were going to buff up our units, which is sorely needed.

Hell yeah! A wizard that can also dish it out in melee would be amazing! Not to mention honoring Mazdamundi's legacy.

We really need this. Right now none of our units except for bastiladons are all that good at holding the line in melee. Plus it would be nice to see some love for Kroxigors.

I would hope to see the actual return of Kroq-Gar, but since that's not likely to happen, definitely some named Saurus heros would be a really nice addition. Our dinos need to become the beasts they're supposed to be and be able to go head-to-head with other monsters, which is rather hard for them right now.

This would be a really cool idea. I'd love to see feral units, and even though I'm sure it would end up breaking my bank account, a dread saurian with a howdah as our ultimate death machine would be pretty amazing to see. Honestly, if they were going to take any inspiration from Total War I'd love it if they re-modeled the Kroxigors to look like actual crocodile men like in that game. That and the feral units for each monster.

 

100% agree! Remodeled, plastic Kroxigor would be amazing. And a howdah on the dread saurian, would make use of his stupidly big base.
I know this would never happen but, Slann riding Dreadsaurian. I like the idea of it.
But I think we would sooner get a Thunderlizard. Sud has a thread dedicated to the creation of theirs, complete with a warscroll. That would need to be our center piece model, of all center piece models.

Also, an apocalypse sized game with Seraphon, should just about only have Dread Saurians and a Carno to buff them. And it ACTUALLY work. But that's just me lol

 

I really like the idea of introducing feral dinosaurs into the army. If they do something like having general on carnosaur makes feral carnosaurs battleline that'd be interesting to see on the tabletop. Same could be done with stegadons too.

Sotek was never one of the original old ones worshipped by the lizardmen but was eventually done so by the slaan after being convinced by the likes of soteks skink priest and soteks influence over the lizardmen. Perhaps they'll come into contact with Sotek and find a new grand design to carry out or maybe just maybe they find Sotek to not quite be what they thought it was. The Slaans are actively calling all the shots now instead of having skinks taking care of the day to day business so that last bit isn't entirely out the realm of possibility...

 

I like the idea of Nakai being actually manifested into a GOD of the jungle this time

 

Nakai is a cool idea, but I don’t think we Weill be getting any of our old world heroes. Most likely we will be getting new named Slann in our battletome like zectoka who will have various new spells.
