Hot Peanut Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Hi *, I have a question about Slann Starmaster, with his Allegience Battle Trait he can unbind spells on the whole battlefield, but must he in sight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praecautus Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Hi Dino peeps. I am trying to help my son build a 2 k list. He really likes skinks, carnosaur and the bastiladon. How does the following seem Slann starmaster Old blood on carnosaur skink star priest skink priest skinks 30 w blowpipes and buckler skinks 20 w clubs and buckler Saurus warriors 10 Ripperdactyles 3 Batiladon Balewind vortex Shadow strike battalion we still need the Slann, ripperdactyles and bale wind. we also have 8 knights. How does this look for a fun list? Or should we be doing some other type of build e.g. Get a second start collecting set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says "unbind from anywhere". If they wanted it to require line of sight they would have written it something like "unbind from any distance" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would read "unbind from anywhere" to merely change the distance requirement. It's unclear enough to merit questions. That said, I think I've typically used it as no longer requiring line of sight, but I'll probably look to get confirmation prior to Adepticon about how it will be played there.

While I get your point, ANYWHERE on the battlefield is pretty clear itself. You cannot misjudge ANYWHERE as it doesn't say "almost anywhere" or "anywhere but / except..". Anywhere means behind a tree, inside a house, at the bottom corner. Anywhere simply means anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertxtrem Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I agree you don't need line of sight based off the wording of the rules. I was told by an opponent otherwise but it doesn't really make sense based on the wording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonzai Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I am seriously considering doing a take on a Kroak Bomb list. Here is my initial draft; Lord Kroak 450 Astrolith Bearer 160 Eternity Warden 140 Skink Priest 80 Skink Star Priest 80 5 Saurus Guard 100 5 Saurus Guard 100 5 Saurus Guard 100 Bastilidon w/ solar engine 280 Bastilidon w/ solar engine 280 Eternal Starhost 130 Balewind vortex 100 Total: 2,000 The general idea is to turtle in a central spot, with the saurus guard bubble wrapping everything else. With the battalion and skink priest, they will have a 2+ rerollable save, and deal d3 damage if they dont move and rerolling to hit rolls with the astroleth bearer. Kroak mounts up on the balewind, getting 2+ to cast and a +8 and a double on range between it and the astrolith (with another +6 on doubles). He will be casting his spells, and generating rerolls. Bastilidons get rerolls to hit, rerolls to saves, and one will probably be mystic shielded. Star Priest is there to debuff potential threats. Once bubble wrap is no longer needed, units can be displaced to grab objectives. I love all the synergies in this list. There are some major drawbacks though. Mortal wound spam will eat through the saurus guard fast, and heroe sniping can dismantle it quick. Things like the new DoK Blood Stalkers are a concern with their ranged mortal wound output, but at least the star priest can neuter them some what. It's low model count but high drop, and relies on displacement rolls for mobility. I love to hear some feed back on this list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamtrunzo Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Hello Everyone,I managed to place 3rd in the Champs this last weekend. Here is my list:Allegiance: SeraphonLeadersEngine of the Gods (220)- Artefact: Light of Dracothion Slann Starmaster (260)- General- Trait: Great Rememberer - Artefact: Incandescent Rectrices Skink Starpriest (80)Celestant-Prime (340)Battleline40 x Skinks (200)- Meteoric Javelins & Star Bucklers40 x Skinks (200)- Meteoric Javelins & Star Bucklers10 x Skinks (60)- Meteoric Javelins & Star BucklersUnits9 x Ripperdactyl Riders (420)1 x Salamanders (40)BattalionsShadowstrike Starhost (170)Total: 1990 / 2000Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 149I played against a moulder list, alarielle sylvaneth list (my only loss), and three stormcast (stardrake, vanguard wing, and aetherstrike).Ripperdactyls were great and accounted for a hellpit, 6 rat ogres, 20 dryads, treelord ancient, 36 liberators, and 5 judicators. I outdropped every opponent and always took first turn. The list works well with having many different ways to deal damage (range, MW, combat) and everything does something from the very start of the gameOther than the one loss I got max points in every other game and max soft scores. Feel free to ask any questions and I will do my best to answer. Also you can follow me on Twitter @Mr_Trunzo. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizianolol Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Thx a lot! I have a question about rippers, when in shadowstrike battalion you can t put toad where you want right? So you put toad when you enter in the battlefield or you can t put toad? ( sorry for English) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamtrunzo Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I asked the TO ahead of time and he ruled that you could place the toad on the first turn even if the rippers were not on the table as it does not affect any other unit until the rippers arrive. It would be a latent rule like the blue horrors or summoning where the rule exists even though they are not on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokapoke Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 So I was in the Adepticon championship last weekend ("in" being a relative term, as I was a bottom-table warrior in rounds 2-5). I seemed to be one of the few not running a battalion and/or Kroaknado (which, to be fair, is a component of my poor performance -- not the driving factor, but a part of it). Looking around at the armies, it was great to see our faction represented so well! I have a question about Bastiladons, though. I saw a lot of them over the weekend -- some armies had multiples (like mine), but a vast majority of them were the Laser Turtles. I personally ran one of each, and while the Laser Turtle certainly contributed to the handful of positive outcomes I had over the tournament, I feel that my Snake Turtle was far and away the MVP of my force. My question is this: why have so few Bastiladon players embraced the Ark of Sotek? (Note that I'm judging "few" relative to the number who ran one or more Solar Engines.) I imagine many of them/you looked at the warscroll and said (as I had) "2D6 shots, rend -1, damage 2 (or 3) with a 20 inch range? Yes please!" But I used to face an opponent running Seraphon with an Ark of Sotek Bastiladon whom I could never kill, and I became a convert (and ultimately bought his Bastiladon after he abandoned the army for Ironjawz). In fact, I'm considering buying a third Bastiladon just to build a second Ark of Sotek (though I'll likely magnetize #3 for full customizability). Why has the community at large (seemingly) abandoned the Ark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drofnum Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I've wondered the same thing, I've been playing some random lists lately but tend to always have a Basti in there. The Ark has always outperformed the Solar Engine for me, usually miles ahead for the ark. I'm at the point where unless i take two I dont think the Solar engine is worth taking. One factor may be that it used to be fairly hard to get the Bastiladon where you wanted, with the 5" move they definitely werent fast. But now with teleporting its so easy to get them in to a good position in the first round and then just let them sit there and either hand out mortal wounds or control a 16" circle around himself where nothing dares to go.

PJetski Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Ark of Sotek requires some finesses to make it useful while the Solar Engine is just always good. Overall I rate the Ark as potentially more powerful but the combined focused fire of a Solar Engine and Stegadon bow is enough to snipe a lot of heroes and monsters, especially in a Thunderquake and with an Astrolith. I'm really surprised more people aren't running the Engine of the Gods + Prism of Amyntok + Curse of Fates combo - doing D6+1 mortal wounds in the hero phase and then D3+1 in the movement phase is brutal!

TomParry84 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Only if you don't move the engine in the movement phase though, people are now using them a lot more aggressively than they used to myself included! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
