Ouch. That's a HUGE nerf. Can't stack it and you have to take the wounds. Wow.... This sucks! So much for "Masters of magic"... 😢

Yep, if I can get the Skink Summoning factory humming, Seraphon has a much better chance at stealing some wins.

My latest Engine of the Gods mixed with the leftover bits from the Hurricanum kit! Added some LEDs. https://twitter.com/CalebHastings/status/1206414688566808584

I would put those 40 darkshards into one unit if you could. Cmd pt them from the sorceress to run and shoot and you are putting 80 shots onto just about any target you want. Add a few buffing spells to them before you shoot them up the field and they will become a big nuisance. Tree-Revs are very useful for 80 pts! I';m not crazy about the Sorceress on Black Dragon... I like the Luminark and Hurricanum much better. But if you are staying narrative, the dragons are fine. I just wish they here tougher like the Dreadlord on Dragon (3+ save with his shield vs the Sorcess has a 5+)

Interesting as Seraphon is not particularly strong right now. What's he playing? Shadowstrike - Deploy in such a way that he has no good target for a Turn 1 strike with the rippers. Thunderquake - Kill the EoTG and the list falls apart. Always kill the slann. Our biggest weakness is melee. Our best melee unit (ripperdactyls) has no rend and is VERY fragile. Get on objectives early and Seraphon usually can't take em away from you.

Hope so! Seraphon vs Tzeentch would be a fun box! We love shooting us some Chaos Demons.

What rumors?

Seraphon - Engine of the Gods! I am in love with that model. For some reason I have 5.... ha. It is a fantastic model to kit bash. The howdah on top can support just about anything you want the stegadon to carry! Lots of fun!

I'd put Ignax Scales (4+ mortal wound save) on the Hurricanum to help negate the Arcane Channeling mortals and boost all the spell casting by D6. I also pretty much auto include the Umbral Spellportal in my lists (the other end can be placed ANYWHERE on the map when cast from Cities). Very useful to nuke hordes or put an endless spell thru to anywhere you want.

Apparently HWG was mistaken. He went 4-1. But still.... Much respect for pulling 4-1 with Terradons!!!!

Nice!! Awesome write up!!! Gotrek is so much fun in Seraphon!

I'd only buy one and kitbash the rest from other grot/wizard models... so there is a bit of diversity.

I saw someone use greenstuff to make the Loonshrine's nose look like a big fat Troll nose. Was awesome!

I'd try and turn one of those Gobbapalooza's into a Spider Shaman as well. Put the Hag (with Gryphfeather), 9 fellwater, and a shaman casting sneaky distraction spell for HUGE minuses to hit. Hag would be -3 to hit. Fellwater would be -2. It has worked wonderfully for me. The second contingent of your army could work well with the Rockguts and the Dank Boss. Have them go kill stuff. Third group is the Stabbas and Skragrott tossing spells around. These are you home objective campers. Seems like you have everything you need to me! I run: Aracknarock Shaman (Headress + Sneaky Distraction) Hag (Gryhfeather) Dankboss 6 Rockgut 9 Fellwater 20 Stabbas Scuttletide Troggherd Battalion (not worth its points, but I need the extra artifact)

Gotrek did well for me last weekend in a 3 game tournament!! The top table on game 3 was Seraphon vs Seraphon... Both with gotreks!!!

So let's say you throw it across a unit of 20 clan rats, a vermonlord, and a unit of 9 StormFiends. For the clanrats, roll 20 dice. Each six is a slain model since they have less than 6 wounds each. For the vermonlord, roll 1 dice. Each six is 2D6 mortals since it has 6 or more wounds. For the StormFiends, roll 9 dice. Each six is 2D6 mortals since they have 6 or more wounds.

Yeah, it is VERY spikey. But when it works... It works well! I did 22 mortals with it to 6 StormFiends. I've hit two hordes of 80 Pleaguebearers and slain alot (enough to finish em off with rippers). The best thing about it is that it slays <6 wound models instead of just doing mortals. So it is great for removing elite troops or hordes with aftersaves (DoK, Nurgle, etc). But yes.... It it very streaky.

Any way you could squeeze Purple Sun into one of those lists. It could be BRUTAL vs a unit of 9 Stormfiends. Will do a ton of dmg and also likely block them for a turn. I recently deleted a unit of 6 stormfiends turn 1 with a 1-2 punch of Purple sun and some Rippers. 9 stormfiends is scary!

You can give the StarPriest the Spell Lore spell that can heal a unit. Luckily the spell doesn't say "Seraphon unit" so you can use it to heal Gotrek (just 1 wound though). There is also a spell we have that can let him fly. It also doesn't have Seraphon keyword requirement.

He fits decently well in both of our good battalions. Shadowstrike: Gotrek, Slann, EoTG, StarPriest, Astrolith, 3x10 Skinks, 6 rippers, purple sun (or cogs... Basically 80 pts left over for spells, an extra priest (to heal Gotrek) or another unit of Skinks) Thunderquake: Gotrek, Slann, EoTG, 3x10 Skinks, 3 Razordons, 3 skink handlers, Bastiladon, Stegadon

Agree. I've only played one practice game so far with Gotrek... And he performed wonderfully! I played vs IDK. Gotrek held middle objective (along with some Skinks etc) and killed a full unit of 6 eels, King, and Aspect. Only took 1 wound. He is by far Seraphon's best option for a scary hero unit.

This guy has some great lists written out: http://www.lustria-online.com/threads/matched-play-list-ghb2019.23300/page-4#post-282455

Slann EoTG with Etheral Amulet GOTREK!!!!!! 3x10 Skinks 3 Razordons Skink Handlers Bastiladon Steggy Thunderquake 1990!! Not a lot of bodies and will struggle due to speed.... but I like it!!!

Nice!!!! Well done! That base on the Dread is awesome! How much does that base weigh? lol

I guess so. I look forward to you going 5-0 with Seraphon at some major GTs soon. Considering only one Seraphon list worldwide has gone 5-0 at a major GT in the last year and half (and that one was called early due to time)... You must be a prodigy! Make us all proud! Go prove it!
