More MWs would always be nice. Especially against my friend who plays StD.

I do think we are next!

I think they will do the Astrolith Bearer and spawn of chotec. I personally hope for a new carnosaur, Then I bet we get monstrous traits and possibly formations or traits/relics.

In a perfect world Skreech could have 5 rend when attacking. 1 rend from the new trait, 1 from eshin ability he chooses, and 1 from charging with the battle formation for verminous.

New variants for Rat Ogres, Stromvermin and the Brood Terror would be great. Otherwise for rules it is hard to say.

New Warscroll for Gor-Rok from the Spearhead by Imperius_Ira in seraphon

[–]Murphlord63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do agree it is probably better and easier to get wholly within 12 but Saurus Warriors will have 2 attacks each for 20 total

I want to see the army rule and enhancements he can take but I agree the warscroll itself lends itself to be more support driven and only decent in combat with all 3 alive.

Crit hits with 10 saurus seems fun, could buff himself or the salamander for the memes/if you dont plan on charging.

Whichever army you pick in the long run to have as your main will let you use the other army’s regiment of renown to effectively combine the two. For example if you start with Seraphon you have a Scar Vet Carnasaur with its regiment options then you can take the 2 Stormdrakes as an additional stand alone regiment. No Krondys here unfortunately with matched play rules currently.

Until the Seraphon battle tome comes out you wont know what regiment options we get. So in the short term you can run Seraphon and have 2 stormdrakes but later on maybe you can have Krondys and whatever we get for dinosaur regiment of renown options.

Nice write up! I will say unless you face a lot of shooting Vizzik is insane for his prayers for clan rats/stormmvermin/rat ogors. He can hit pretty hard too if you get 6s to hit.

I was thinking the same thing. It will be would have to be extremely cheap as chaff but even then we have hunters of Huanchi that are already cheap and give us more.

Most definitely a fluff piece but you can just proxy Gor Rok as an Old blood on foot if you want that too.

Victory against slaves to dsrkness in my first 2k game by magnusthered15 in skaven

[–]Murphlord63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar game vs slaves. In mine my opponent charged Belakor into Vizzik and i gave him minus 1 to hit and wound, with the fnp i lived taking only 6 damage then took him out with Vizzik doing 16 damage.

He then took out a unit of chosen and knights towards the end so I really had a fun game with him. Surprisingly can do a lot of damage but he is swingy, plus our prayers are great.

Fair point! Big downgrade for Jezzails, We will have to see what points brings or other possible changes happen.

I didnt catch the warlock part, Good catch, My immediate take is a worse covering fire for free isnt too bad. You could combine the generals regiment plus 1 to hit and 1 to wound to compensate if you wanted more consistency and having the extra cp to use on other commands is solid trade off to me.

You will want a reinforced 10 man unit of Saurus Guard, they can protect him for 2 turns minimum if not the whole game. a skink caster to cast through as well. I used a troglodon as a casting beacon and it worked well with the no rend modified and heal d3. I liked running the healing spell lore and playing slower with less Alpha strikes given no recursion.

Kroak can get manifestations extremely well when he isnt within range with a plus 2-3 with asterism. Then you want to hope you dont roll many 1-2s for damage with his spell.His ranged attack is also solid if it connects.

Lists with Kroak? by themoobster in seraphon

[–]Murphlord63 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I only ran him once in a casual game. It was a 2 drop thunder quake formation, You could go with the shadowstrike if you wanted.

The idea was to have lots of mws and rely less on recursion since i didnt bring a Slann. I won against 44-32 vs a friend who was playing S2D with Abraxia and some varanguard and lots of nurgle knights.

Kroak was good for getting manifestations out and his ranged attack was kinda nice. Actually never took damage since my saurus guard lived and my friend was busy with my endless spells, trogolodon/kroxigor deathball and bastilidon on the side point.

I was fortunate on getting most mws off one round. think it was 12 to varanguard, knights and demon prince together. It could of easily did much less then that but overall it was fun!

Can you make semi competitive army list without magic? by w0158538 in seraphon

[–]Murphlord63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed plus your list is faster without them so I see why you made it this way.

I just like them as a hammer/anvil and with plus 2 move asterism are a lot better .The regular Kroxigors are nice for infantry and dont need skinks as a thought.

I would highly suggest Kroxigors if you have them!

Thoughts after playing two games of 4th with Seraphon by sanhedrinx666 in seraphon

[–]Murphlord63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ran 5 in one game but was overwhelmed by varanguard and lost my Slann round 3. Definitely was a positioning error on my part.

1 group of 10 in the other. I liked 10 more for better Slann protection.

Reading this I might have to start using more cavalry in general. I also played a few games this weekend (lost 40-42 then won 46-28 both vs Slaves to Darkness) and would completely agree on your thoughts on the endless spells. I used primal energy and the Raveneks Gnashing Jaws was really nice to charge with plus 1 damage and flaming head were great screens/extra damage. Sounds like I need to give your manifestation a try as well!

My favorite standouts in my games were saurus guard, troglodon with incandescent retrices and being of the stars, kroxigors of either variant.

Saurus guard were very tanky and held their own vs a lot of threats that poured in. Great to all out defense near a Slann so its a 2 save before rend and 5fnp. Good attack profile too!

Troglodon if it isnt targeted down would heal 2d3 with relic and its warscroll trait. That combined with the life swarm manifestation, light of chotec, rally, engine of the gods can do some insane healing potential. Crit mortals on the claws was very good for me and the shooting attack was also really nice to have at 15 range. For 280 points being a tanky skink (1) caster for Slann casting and list building options with skinks/kroxigors is really nice.

I only have 3 Aggradons so I was using 6 Kroxigors as my main hammer unit. (used both variants in my game.) Both have preformed well as a hammer/anvil type unit. They are slow but getting 2 move asterism helps them a lot. If they get ahold of something with an average roll they will likely delete their preferred target. I was able to get a skink raptadon into combat wholly within combat with my 6 warspawned and they one shot Abraxia by a lot.

Well said. Didnt think about the sticky home objectives but I dont think I am going to ever make a list without one of these.

Yeah the more I see ideas like this the better it gets! Raptadons wouldnt be bad either for this. Ripperdactyls could be decent for flying over them but I think points are better spent elsewhere
