Why would you think anything other than you're next? Your battletome has been announced, and it was announced same time as Fyreslayers, unless by some mad reason they sneak in something else in between (Seraphon if that must happen) then you're definitely getting the tome release next.

Won't count stormcast or slaves as I may well sell both of those off to get hotel sorted earlier for SCGT. Seraphon: Slann Starmaster Oldblood Carnosaur Scar Vet Carnosaur with Spear. Engine Of The Gods Scar Vet On Cold One 2 x Eternity Wardens Oldblood on Foot with Spear. 60 x Saurus Guard 15 x Saurus Knights with Lances 20 x Saurus Warriors with Spears Skink Starseer 3 x Starpriests 2 x Priests (One of each type) 70 x Skinks, boltspitters/javelins and shields. 10 x Chameleon Skinks 3 x Ripperdactyls 6 x Terradons 3 x Kroxigors 2 x Bastiladons Solar Engine 1 x Bastiladon Ark Of Sotek Troglodon 4 x Razordons 1 x Salamander 15 x Skink Handlers DREAD SAURIAN Sunblood Stegadon Crossbow Astrolith Bearer. Pretty much just missing Kroak, Stegadon Flamethrowers and another 20 Saurus Warriors to field a Sunclaw.

So the evening before Adepticon they put on a Seraphon Vs Slaves To Darkness Battle Report... Interesting....

So Throne of Skulls now over, went 2-3 in the end which i'm really pleased about as it's my first two wins, also last two tournaments i've won at least one game in after a 13 loss streak for tournaments. The list performed well, throwing the sunblood into the biggest thing it saw first turn was fun, when it worked haha. It only worked as i'd hoped in the last game where I took a troggboss off in one clean combat phase where i'd remembered to use the re-roll hits on him, and kept the +2 attacks from the oldblood in range. Which looking at its warscroll i'm now very glad it did as that might've made it alot tougher for me to win that game in the end. 3 I lost I really couldn't do much about, Starstrike they landed where I couldn't get to, Relocation orb it went in a bad place where he had 2 heros that counted as 20 each in, then it went where I wanted but then moved back to the centre haha. Places of Arcance Power was against a nasty KO list and I failed a charge and a teleport to take his two scoring units out in one turn so I couldn't just take the furthest one and win while he tried to get over to it as I didn't send anything with an artefact up that way. So I think i'm going to sub out a razordon and the sunblood for a scar vet cold one and chronomantic cogs, so I can still re-roll ones for the carnosaur riders and the cold one rider and it's not specifically against one unit. Re-roll ones to charge and get +2 to the charges also. Plus I'll take the brooch off of the scar vet and onto the eternity warden because that guy survived much longer in most games. And then i'll find a decent artefact for the cold one rider I think as he can get a disgusting amount of attacks with his repeating attack, or possibly just the extra rend artefact we have. 50/50 on whether to take this to the South Coast GT. I've got a One Dayer before then which I might try the amended list at and see.

@Wilhelm Stürmer Yes I did use curse of fates on him, whatever I teleport will get that spell unless nothing needs teleporting then i'll use starseer for other purposes. I rolled a 5 or 6 anyways but it definitely sures up the plan. Obviously taking out a key character requires the opponent to not shield them, or to not deny teleporting in behind, but I also believe with all that it could take on a horde easily enough. But also if a teleports not looking good I can keep him back and buff up the saurus guard instead for if they have to take a big charge in opponents turn after getting them into position. Hopefully I won't come against too much mortal wound output, or I can take that out before it gets going.

A severe lack of desire to paint means I've had to shelve taking a full 60 guard to Throne of Skulls this weekend. As a back up list I decided to over charge the sunblood teleport: Whilst leaving ghyran and the sunderblade and ghyrstrike behind felt a bit naff, this certainly didn't disappoint. Outnumbered 5-1 against arkhan and the skelly hordes (Reapers too) I managed to buff the sunblood with 2 x Savagery and +2 from the oldblood in range. I forgot to use the scent of weakness on arkhan post teleport, but after going in, managed to take 9 wounds off of him, partly due to finding out the bite also got the D3 wounds/D3 damage treatment according to the wording on the scroll not just the mace. If I'd done that last CA. and remembered it was two extra attacks per six not just one, I likely would've had enough go through to end him. He was promptly taken out afterwards by vampire lord on zombie dragon. After that it was a slog and ended a 6-10 loss, but I did manage to fully take out the reapers with the guard block and skellingtons with the saurian, before they were brought back due to lost priority. I lost all but the last priority, if i'd won the fourth turns one I would've likely made it a draw or won by a point due to getting the scar vet into a necromancer scoring a side objective, but he blocked that off with the other skellys having won that priority. Another practice against sylvaneth tonight and then stormcast friday night before the main event. Looks like it'll be a fun weekend with a hard fought win or two.

Looks good I think, certainly the numbers for swamping objectives, and at the very least your knights could march up the board and slow the enemy down from getting too far across in the first turn or two.

No you can make a list with just the firelance and sunclaws, You still get the buffs from those starhosts themselves. It's just the lowest drops you could get to is 2 with both of those heavy on the amount of troops in each unit for them, obviously you don't get the fangs or dracothians buffs with just those two.

Yup certainly, luckily first experience of that spell was two bastiladons getting caught in it, so I did survive it, my engine, not so much...

Yeah so is mine, I just had noticed the 18" and realised it's a stronger way of doing my dread teleport and it not being on its own so the enemy will have to decide who to attack rather than just the saurian. I've just got to get my damn saurus knights painted and I can properly try it. Also have a scar vet carnosaur now so I can try one or the other leader.

I'd say go all in and take a thunder quake with one of each stegadon load outs and engine. Gives them the healing that they'll need due to no mortal wound save compared to basti's, specially D3 if you keep your slann close by. Crossbow can try and snipe a hero, and the flame thrower can reduce a horde. All three going into one unit should take down something too with the horn attacks, and the crushing stomps might accomplish something. Still something I want to do , just got to get the third stegadon.

Makes it a one drop, but also means you can keep half of your army in reserve, and if they're all seperate warscrolls you can teleport your slann 27" away from the enemy and bring half your army up 9" away from them instead. And because it's wholly within 18" of the Slann rather than 12", it is a bit further away and safer. though if you do this maybe having a unit of skinks brought on to screen it will be a good idea still.

Yes it does, Pack states that there can only be a symbol on one side and pips on the other 5.

Bought my Ticket a while ago - James Beeden. Looking forward to this specially after seeing the spell replacement rule. Might take my Ghyran Seraphon for a little holiday to another Realm specially cause of it. Have to see what artefacts can replace the sunderblade.

Hi, just wondering if you'll actually be putting the 5 tournament points for fully painted into the results for this next one? Noticed on the results that didn't seem to be done in the end today. Not an issue either way just if it's not actually going to be done then maybe remove it from the details? Cheers for putting these on really enjoying having a definite one dayer a month even if I can't make any bigger events, hopefully there's still a ticket going in a few weeks so I don't miss April's .

@sorokyl Wilhelm and the Person from your rules question are correct, it's only the following combat phase that turn. I had horribly mis-read it for a tournament or two and thought it said for the round but nope. Yes it is definitely my strategy to keep them all at 2+ save, hopefully with re-rolling any saves from the priestly trappings priest, Take a charge and then hit them back harder with what is remaining, which if kept with a model within 5" of the eternity warden the +1 attack adds to the effective-ness. It definitely helps to have the re-roll ones to hit configuration for the turns where they don't have to move to get into combat, and even then. A good example was my troggoth army game at Heat 1, yes alot of my guard had died taking the charge, but when it got to my next turn I wiped what possibly might've been half of the army from the guard's doing D3 alone. Due to the 1 wound/no way to save mortal wounds effectively nature of guard right now, it is tricky to pull off with anything less than 10/10/10. Next time I field Saurus Guard It's the full 20/20/20. Which with my new movement trays means I can pretty much screen the entire table half and still get 2+ saves with +1 attack and +2 Bravery hopefully with the priest having worked. I'll report on that after throne of skulls unless I use that list sooner.

So not a brilliant result at 0-5 unfortunately with a lower than I'd have liked kill points result. so TL:DR is that I probably could've won one or two games if I'd just reverted to skink summon and teleport but got a bit pre-occupied with summoning razordons and wanting the dread saurian to teleport and do the job by killing instead. Honestly that's the way i'd rather always play it, but I'll temper it with sensible options a bit more again from now on. I used to do that, got too hung up on starting army doing all the business. It can't till we get an update. But i'll still play this list over starting with skinks any day. It's what I like putting out on the board for a start. Game by Game breakdown in the spoiler, didn't want to clog the page for anyone not wanting to read it.

Had a practice game with that list tonight, the starseer proved useful first turn when the dread saurian rolled a 2 to teleport. What didn't help was me rolling a 7 after that, forgetting I had the +1 charge configuration, and +1 from stoke rage from aqyshy, So my dread couldn't road block further up the field a bunch of beasts of chaos dragon ogres, and got wiped by three units after, I held out pretty well after that but a loss in the end. Just got to remember those buffs when it matters adn that could've been alot different if dread saurian had taken a unit out. Real test starts in a few hours.

Haha yeah they sure do, hence why my main desire for curse of fates is purely that, the fact it can get me another double damage bite attack is a bonus . Yeah I was going to win a league game by one point if a teleport succeed, it didn't and lost by 2 points instead. Yeah, I see that a lot, it both grates on me a lot but also motivates me to succeed with them over skinks haha. I know for sure 5 man units just don't get in to combat enough, but i'm willing to sacrifice 5 to get the other 5 in if it really comes down to that, our bravery helps that a lot (Specially if i'd remember the +2 from hero within 8") Yeah will certainly give at least a result in terms of win/loss on here, and if I can note down some things to mention I will do. Got another 15 guard on the paint table and buying another box soon, I'll be doing a full 20/20/20 when they're done, getting movement trays so I can string them easier and move it all quicker. I think that'll take people by surprise when plenty of them get into fights.

Sure, Happy to, just had to get it compiled on warscroll builder. Allegiance: SeraphonMortal Realm: GhyranSlann Starmaster (260)- General- Trait: Great Rememberer Skink Starseer (200)Saurus Eternity Warden (140)- Artefact: The Sunderblade Saurus Sunblood (120)- Artefact: Ghyrstrike Skink Starpriest (80)Skink Priest (80)- Priestly Trappings10 x Saurus Guard (180)10 x Saurus Guard (180)10 x Saurus Guard (180)Dread Saurian (420)Eternal Starhost (150)Total: 1990 / 2000Extra Command Points: 1Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 80 Main points is that I wanted the double teleport, because I've had some games where if I had that second chance to teleport it would've won me the game. Then I wanted to sure up one of the turn one teleports for either the dread saurian or the ghyrstrike sunblood, if they've shielded for the dread, I could slip the sunblood in to kamikaze a crucial hero instead. *Edit* Also the Command Point on a 2+ means I likely can use my sunbloods scent of weakness for however many turns it's alive for free so to speak, and as most of my list is Saurus, it's proven a good one to use. Obviously starpriest cause double bite damage on the dread and -1. Priest to hopefully get those non command point re-rolls turn one for everything that needs it, Specially as the saves aren't fails so I can re-roll what would fail cause of -2 rend if that happens for the guard. Saurus Guard just an absolute tank of a unit, I've been getting better at stringing them for the +1 attack and +2 saves and bravery from the eternity warden being a bit further away than usual. The sunderblade artefact hasn't really shown the best results, but I mean, an Eternity Warden spinning then smashing his Mace into the ground just feels too right to get rid of it, and if the guard are taking on multiple units like they can without mortal wounds taking them down, then its better than the other mortal wounds I can get at range. Obviously mortal wounds are the issue, but there's so little to protect against them that I just decided to hell with worrying about them. If I can get the mortal wound dealing units taken out by the turn one teleport attacks then all for the better for this list lasting 5 turns. Just thought i'd run through my thoughts. Been working on a list like this for a good few tournaments now, Starseer was the final addition, took out razordons but I can summon them instead.

It's situational but I believe my list i'm taking to Heat 1 at Warhammer World will make good use of taking a Starseer, by having definite usages for its spell and the very likely +1 command point a turn. true it's not as good as its previous re-rolls could be though this will be my first time using one, and be nice when I can get some endless spells along side it when the points hopefully drop, But I think there's a reason to use it still. Hopefully I'll be proved somewhat right by my result.

Yeah that's the place.

Yeah that'll be the case.

Tempting fate but hopefully this time I will be not ill and able to do iron man and enjoy the evenings as-well haha.

Yes, so if you cast curse of fates on a unit, then for that hero phase you can use the dice modifier on the teleport roll, effectively giving you 1's fail, 2-3 Teleport no move and 4/5/6's Teleport and Move. Currently trying to work out between taking a starseer so I can also have two teleports from the slann, or just have the one teleport and buff the unit it's for more so if at all possible, so the loss of the other isn't so bad.
