I don't think that is really the point of most of the StD heroes, they are all kind of middle of the road fighters with some nice synergies to make our units the real hammer. You can always try allying in a fightier hero or monster from beasts or one of the gods?

Gaunt summoner does it. It is also a roll on the Eyes of the Gods table.

I am building up a 40 man block of marauders and am trying to decide what weapon load out to give them. I am thinking axes and shields as the extra attack seems to balance out the extra range and the extra +1 to hit seems like it could be padded out with spell buffs. Any argument for flails? Thanks for the input!

My initial take is that Guard seem pretty decent especially with the triple for Saurus, while skinks, like usual, seem awesome. Kind of annoying that blowpipe/shield isn't a loadout though....

Your basic Slann has no unique spells really worth casting unless you are going up against Chaos Daemons. He is the popular choice for the summoning battery. Kroak actually has some magic that can be worth while, also some hilarious interactions with Balewind and Great Rememberer, turning him into a strike and fade mortal wounds tornado frog skeleton of death

Your could try dropping the snufflers and an endless spell to take a unit of Sporesplattas. They can screen some of your units from shooting and still help with the +attacks buff.

Seems like this would be the case, the only exception to the garrison rule for ships appears to be that the garrisoned unit just don't count towards objectives.

So here is what I have put together, mainly based off of the models I have. Also have the ability to flex the spell slot up to something like a WLV or Everblaze by dropping the extra CP.

I'm thinking Urbaz. The ability to give gold to smaller units like the balloonists seems very powerful. The Endrin work is quite nice against hordes, plus battle line gun haulers seems fun.

I've been looking at Warp Lightning Vortex or Comet. The WLV is especially nice since it has a higher casting value and can really cause problems. Also I might consider the Wildfire Taurus which can open up opportunities for melee units to get in full strength hits before getting attacked back. The huge toolbox utility of Spell in a Bottle is defiantly not to be overlooked.

I mean, they got rid of the battleshock phase for OBR, isn't this kind of the same thing? 🙃

You 100% can teleport Kroak on the vortex. Relevant part of the war scroll: As long as the Balewind Vortex remains on the battle eld, the caster and the Balewind Vortex are treated as being a single model from the caster’s army that uses the caster’s warscroll as well as the endless spells rules. Using Great Rememberer to teleport Kroak into your enemy, casting all of his spells and then teleporting him back to safety is 👌 Also, have you tried a Thunderquake? The amount of damage the battalion can put out is insane and can surprise punk most heroes. I have gunned down everything from The Black Coach to a Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon in a single round of shooting. Sounds like you have most of the pieces already too!

Additionally Seraphon received zero changes in the year end FAQ, which signals to me that changes were either expected or are still coming soonish. Also the BloodBowl releases recently have been lining up with some of the new AoS drops. I feel your personal hunch is probably spot on, hopefully it means that some of the terrible FineCast kits are getting binned in favor of plastic...
