Calebexnihilo Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I ❤️ Stegadons! Haha, the Steggy Chief is a beast with the right buffs!! - Coalesced (+1 to Jaw attacks) - Thunderquake (+1 to melee attacks) - Constellation (+1 to melee attacks) - TL Cmd Trait Prime Warbeast (+1 Mount attacks) - Skink Chief Cmd Pt (+1 to melee attacks) And he is putting out 22 damage vs a 4+ save! Nice! Not bad for just 1 cmd pt spent! Get a bit more nuts... - Reroll 1s to hit (StarPriest spell or Cmd Pt) - Cmd Pt from Skink Priest for +1 to hit And he is putting out 32 damage vs a 4+ save! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calebexnihilo Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Summoning got changed for Seraphon in the new Battletome! It is alot more random now, but NOT dead! Summoning is more of an added benefit of Starborne instead of a strategy to plan an army around. Fun chart for summoning costs per point: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Kroak (320) Skink Priest (70) Skink Starseer (140) General, Master of Star Rituals, Fusil of Conflagration 10 x Skinks (60) - Javelins 10 x Skinks (60) - Javelins 10 x Skinks (60) - Javelins 10 x Skinks (60) - Javelins 12 x Salamander Hunting Pack (240) 12 x Salamander Hunting Pack (240) 12 x Salamander Hunting Pack (240) Bastiladon (220) Bastiladon (220) Balewind Vortex Total: 1970pts Wounds: 130 General thoughts: Strenghts Bastiladon provides long range damage (easy turn 1 damage with run & shoot), and I should generate enough +CP to double tap every turn. +50% damage to Daemons is a solid bonus, plenty of those around. Salamanders go behind skink screen and dish out a ton of high rend damage (with some MW sprinkled on top) and with +1 Jaw attack they're equally scary in melee. Kroak puts a clock on the game by dealing constant AoE mortal wounds. Vortex + Vassal means Celestial Deliverance has a 28" range (up from 10"), and Comet deals global mortals wounds to pick off support units. Stellar Tempest to deal with hordes. Weaknesses Not a lot of bodies for objectives, but not that few either. Coalesced means low bravery. especially on sallies, but I have decent +CP generation and can pick Celestial Harmony on the Starseer so there are some ways to deal with it. A lot is also riding on the Starseer who is VERY squishy. Reliant on CP so bad +CP rolls can cripple the list. Edit: Also no idea what to do with the last 30 pts. Can drop 10 skinks and make it 90pts (still no clue what to do with those points though). I think I would spend 10 of those 30 points, along with dropping your Skink Priest and Skink Starseer (or 20 points and drop one unit of 12 Salamanders), for a Slann. I agree that putting their buffs on a unit of Salamanders is great, but I think you need the Slann along with Kroak for better CP generation - you want to be able to shoot twice with 2 Bastiladons and you also want to pass morale with your Salamanders. I also second the recommendation for The Burning Head, gotta fit it in there somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Krungharr Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Can the new Seraphon take Stormcast or a Frostheart Phoenix as allies? I’m new to Order, been in the Living City for a bit but am thinking of moving. Maybe to the jungle, but possibly to Azyr. I want my pets to come with me though.

swarmofseals Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 So the rumor based on the Chumphammer twitter pics is that we'll see the following: Salamanders +30 Oldblood on Carno -20 Skink Chief Stegadon -20 Oracle on Trogolodon -40 If this is accurate then Kroak is still going to be solid and one might even consider taking an oracle in Kroak lists. I think you still probably take astrolith + balewind in Starborne lists but if you were to run Kroak in Coalesced then oracle might be an attractive option as a way of extending Kroak's range without forcing Kroak to sit in one spot. Oldblood on Carnosaur and Skink Chief on Stegadon changes are both nifty. They might be pretty meaningful or not depending on if they are allowing for a new combination of units to fit into 2k. I haven't looked at Thunderquake or Koatl's Claw lists in a while so I'm not really sure what this might enable. Salamanders to 110 is a beating. They're still good enough to consider using but no longer an auto-include. I'd bet Dracothion's Tail lists will still want at least 3 but fitting more than that could be hard. I'd still probably take them over Kroxigors in the behemoth battalion too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still probably take them over Kroxigors in the behemoth battalion too. Simply based on some of the other point changes in that "leak" I dont think it is legit, but we shall see. +30 points per Salamander will hurt quite a bit. I run 2x3 in my DT list which means I need to find 180 points somewhere. In my list I run two "fluff" choices - An extra Slann and a Knight-Incantor with Everblaze Comet. I feel like I might have to cut either to meet the point requirements, or drop some Skink screens and a couple of endless spells. It seems odd the normal Stegadon or Dread Saurian didnt drop if the "leak" is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tizianolol Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Guys, a question about Old blood on carno,in a situation where im far from other units, do you think worth use his command ability to buff ONLY him?

Tizianolol Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) So if rumors are correct , we can try to analyze toroglodont skink oracle compared to classic korak astrolith balewind vortex combo. Kroak , astrolith , balewind is 500 points You got 22" range from kroak spell that can cast 3 times, and +12" for stellar tempest, but you have yo cast balewind ( not so hard with +1 astrolith and +1 kroak himself) Troglo oracle and kroak is 540 points I can cast easy kroak 3 time spell second turn, i dont need balewind so i cast from kroak 100% but i got only +1 bonus from kroak. Is oracle worth now? What do you think? Edited July 10, 2020 by Tizianolol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tizianolol Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 The only problem is with troglo you got only +1 from kroak to cast. The +1 from troglo count if i use him as oracle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The +1 from troglo count if i use him as oracle? The +1 on the Troglodon is only when he casts a spell, not when Kroak casts a spell through the Troglodon. I would still take Balewind for Kroak - The +1 spell is really strong. Kroak already wants to cast Comet's Call + 3x Celestial Deliverance + Stellar Tempest (in most matchups). Sure you could cast Comet's Call through another Slann or the Troglodon, but when you are stacking so much +casting on Kroak you really want him to cast Comet's Call too for that D6 targets on a 10+. If Starborne you likely want to forego 1 spell for CCP too, making the +1 spell even more important imo. I think Troglodon can be good, especially if it drops some points. It is currently just overshadowed by mass Salamanders since it is much easier to win by just nuking your opponent with a bunch of shooting. I have played around with the Troglodon and it felt great against slower armies that want to play back and maybe castle up. Against armies that want to push forward and smash your face like Stonehorns/Terrorgheists the Troglodon is kind of wasted points since models will be within Kroak's range either way.

SolomonHelsing Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Just for clarity, from the turn after you get an extra spell so 5 casts, the turn you cast balewind it uses one up but also gives one back so you still have 4 then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
