Kramig Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) I am waiting for them from the beginning of Warcry... According to the description, there will be very fast units and slower (saurus). There should be units for every cluster of points group. Do you think terradon will have also shooting attack?

BarfAtTheMoon Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I saw this picture where the saurus nights had 30 wounds, only 3 strength, and only 6 movement...doesn't seem good enough for the 195 points the card said they cost, but maybe an ability will make them worth taking?

BarfAtTheMoon Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Skinks will have shooting with their blowpipes and javelins for sure, and I'll bet the Terradon's shooting attack will be an ability and not on their profile. I just want the saurus to be viable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girafarig Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 cold blooded saurus, so the movement is appropriate, but the low strength is really irritating me. more strength at fewer attacks would make more sense as the cavalry is a mobile lite-hammer, not a critfisher. but who cares anyway as all seraphon lists will consist of flyers, like every other armies out there who arent made of as most monsters as possible. game is going from petty small scale gang warfare to some elites standoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarfAtTheMoon Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 It's true. If they didn't cost so much I'd be fine with the Knights, but as it is they cost more than a Bullgor with Greataxe (nonleader) from the beasts of chaos faction, which is insane in my opinion. They should be closer to 150 or so with those stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

girafarig Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 looks like the leaked knight is the squadleader with a forgotten rune. cavalry seems now very cheap, as the whole army seems very cheap. the sarus warriors are a bit ... disappointing, would have seen them a bit stronger but so they are just gors with better runes and worser move and pointscosts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinnar Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Interesting comparison between the Seraphon's "Nimble retreat" which requires the model to be within 1" of the enemy, and doesn't require a roll in order to get a bonus disengage and the Skaven "Scurry Away" which requires the model to be within 3", and requires a 4+ on the roll to get a bonus disengage. I think, overall, the Seraphon's version is "better", but the Skaven one can (if you're lucky) cover some edge cases, and allow more tactical movement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramig Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 What do you think about flying models? I am confused, maybe I would try the one with Spear... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plavski Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I was so disappointed to open my pack and find no skink with shield and pipe. It's like the only way anyone has their skinks built for AoS and there's no card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivo Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 So.. skinks and saurus have the same strength??? Whaaat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girafarig Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 the saurus all have that bite-ability, still only strength three but possibly the largest damage output of all units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like the only way anyone has their skinks built for AoS and there's no card. Shouldn't be too hard to knock up a home-brew version. I might do it when I get some time. Edit: I'd make them the same as a Skink with Boltspitter and Moonstone Club except: 3 Toughness, 2 Melee Attacks, 1/2 Melee Damage, 60 points. -- 13 hours ago, Ivo said: So.. skinks and saurus have the same strength??? Whaaat Yeah, most of the AoS warbands have nerfed fighters to get more variation/cooler models. It really bugs me that some very tough fighters that totally destroy Chaos Cultists in AoS are evenly matched with them in Warcry. So far I've managed to keep the ranting to a minimum on this one, though. 😉 E.g. In AoS, Skinks are 7 point models and Terradon Riders are 40 points. Therefore, to have them non-nerfed in Warcry, they'd need to cost around 400+ points. GW doesn't wanna do this so they weaken them down to the 200+ mark. Same with Suarus. If you want non-nerfed Seraphon, check out my home-brew cards (I'll be updating them soon): -- So my son played in a tournament at our local GW store today with 500 points of Skinks. They played very well and, provided you use their speed and agility to keep them out of melee and peppering the enemy from a distance, did more damage than anyone expected. Nimble Retreat (free disengage) and Rush (for extra speed) were the stand-out abilities. The quad is super fun as the opponents were keen to get into melee and, with some high dice values, found themselves on the receiving end of 6 Attack, 6 Strength celestially-charged monstrosities!! -- P.S. I mean really!!! Bloodcrushers squaring up with Cultists and not just turning them into a fine red mist?!?! Is Khorne on holidays or something!?!?! OK, sorry, rant over. 😋 Edited February 22, 2020 by KhaosSpawn Added stats for Skink with Boltspitter and Star-buckler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramig Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 My first list: 1 saurus guard hero3 saurus guard2 skinks range weapon2 skinks with hand weapon1 skink with spear980 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarfAtTheMoon Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Saurus are going to be great chaff, skinks will be good board control, but maaan that quad is going to let rippers or leaders really tear stuff up. I think I'm pretty excited, but why oh why did the cold one riders not get the voracious apatite ability rune? It would have made sense and made them actually good.

Kramig Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 I tried the list posted before against gloomspite (3 boingrot/hoppers and 5 bowmen) Saurus guard is very good: much resistance and the triple is very very good! I never had the chance to try the quad ability... Skinks are fast and the arrows with 4 dmg critical could be insidious for your opponent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarfAtTheMoon Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 So who has gotten some games in with the lizards? How are the flyers performing and which ones are better? Are basic Saurus worth using or is it better to spam Skinks instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramig Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 They are the only I haven't tried yet. In my opinion saurus warrior are not much performing, while flyers have plus in movement and flying, but they are fragile and with low damage impacr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sesom Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 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.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarfAtTheMoon Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 For their uses i think blowpipe/club is fine, you're basically just going to be running them around shooting things and creating a diversion, that if not taken seriously enough will also deal some crazy critical damage. Even with a shield they'd die to a stiff breeze, so a good mix of a bunch of skinks and some guard should be a powerful enough list to get through most battles.

KhaosSpawn Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) Here's a home-brew for a Skink with BoltSpitter and Star-Buckler that's in-line with the official cards. Edited March 15, 2020 by KhaosSpawn Clarification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhurgoyf Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I made a rundown video for these guys. Clouds of blowpipe skinks of course the most powerful thing you can do with Warcry Seraphon, but there's a lot of play to the Guards, Knights, and Flyers. Poor Saurus warriors would be a perfectly serviceable unit if skinks weren't just better. The club+shield skinks are a better Saurus Warrior, and they aren't even the best skink! Hopefully one day we'll get kroxigors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
