Calebexnihilo Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) Well, Adepticon was disappointing for Seraphon players. a) They featured Seraphon on the stream in what was probably the worst Seraphon army list I've ever seen by a player who had zero idea of Seraphon rules. b) No love for seraphon during announcements. Not even a warband for Underworlds or Warcry…. not even a Champions tease or something. At least we have the June GHB to look fwd to.... hopefully they don't nix more of our battalions.

Televiper11 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I was disappointed too. I think we'll be lucky to get the Tome/Terrain/Spells treatment this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigwarus Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Watching The stream anyone? The seraphon player just went 5-0 at adepticon. Winning against Dok in the last game due to great tactical play. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calebexnihilo Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Here is his interview with HonestWargamer. Sounds like he played well! https://youtu.be/eyfBcKbwsQA Matchups: Khorne Sacrament SCE on Total Commitment Beasts of Chaos The DoK on Relocation Orb He teleports his slann in for deep strikes. Against SCE and 12 snipers, he teleported slann 9 away from snipers (3+)... Summoned in Ripperdactyls (which means he got a 3+ on his D3 roll) Then got a 9+ on the ripper charge!!! Incredible! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I mean anyone who wins an event that big with 5 majors has to roll hot. Even the best players. So hearing that some games has some insane rolls makes sense. If it didn’t someone else would have and podiumed. You need to roll good and play good. Like poker, flop good, play good, win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razordons, because they can shoot in the same turn they are summoned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But be aware, it is a costly army as you need flexibility in Summoning units. Depending on the Battleplan and the way the battle is going for you, you may need a variety of units in reserve. I've summoned everything from Bastiladons, EoTG (great summon on turn 2), Banners, skinks of course, Trogs for the charge bonus, razordons, Rippers, etc. Skinks should probably be your first units to build up reserves of.... But they are all useful. I won a game once cause I needed heros on objectives... Summoned enough EoTGs to grab em. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 100 skinks I bring with me - I usually field 50-70 and need at least 20 but to be safe 30 for reserve summoning. Also I would argue it’s good to have some combination of rippers, razordons and bastiladons in your reserves. When it comes to summoning these units are really great in certain situations so it’s nice having a toolbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenshin620 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 You know, am I the only one that thinks its a good thing there doesn't seem to be a Seraphon update any time soon? That would greatly increase their chances of new models! Not that seraphon need new units, but you know finally replace the "how is this still here, isn't this suppose to be the center of the army" metal sculpt slaan! There definitely needs to be more details for example. The vanilla slaan is so...plain! Spoiler I need more headpieces and ancient bling!Even if I suppose fluffwise why would lizard daemons care about that stuff...

Luke1705 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I’m curious as to why the adepticon winning list had a Stegadon over a second bastiladon. What does the Stegadon do that’s better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rend-3 horns are fantastic, 3d6 stomp attacks are good for clearing hordes, and most importantly the D6" move to a SKINK unit in the hero phase allows you to pull off a great number of interesting maneuvers.

The skink move sounds nice but it doesn’t allow them to fall back. Although to be fair skinks are typically dead or not in combat. Idk I feel like if you have the points, I would just prefer a second bastiladon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJetski Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 It's not just for Skinks, but any unit with the SKINK keyword. Here's some fun things you can do with this ability in a Thunderquake list: 1. Summon Ripperdactyls or Terradons with Engine of the Gods >9" from an enemy and immediately move them closer for an easier charge 2. Move EOTG D6 before rolling for the altar to be in range of a key unit with its 25" D6 mortal wound blast 3. Gain an additional D6 move on the Bastiladon, which can effectively double its movement since it only moves 5" 4. Teleport the Stegadon and then move it D6" immediately. Put yourself in range of Javelins and shorten your charge. 5. Double teleport a Stegadon and Ark of Sotek Bastiladon, immediately move the Bastiladon D6 so it is in range to use the Ark immediately The D6 movement in the hero phase is an incredibly powerful tool. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I forgot to mention that, it is the best. I’ve lasered so many hero’s with eotg turn one thanks to it. I’ve never tried the teleport move! That’s a great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
