About this deal

Strangely, no foot version of this one. The cold one is a cheaper, cavalry option, the command ability grants the “On a 6 to hit, turn 1 hit into 2 hits” from other Saurus Heroes except onto a unit. Saurus units generally aren’t big enough to get massive benefit from this making the ability not quite good enough to heavily consider. Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur As it stands Saurus do not represent the most competitive units as Slanns are the wizards that you need and the various Skinks units can do all the rest. As this doesn’t cost a command point you can really set yourself up for something good here. Many armies have at least one subfaction like this and it’s pretty powerful here for all the strong units you can hide. Put a large unit of Saurus Warriors or a Bastiladon in The Carnosaur has 2 mount options: either the advertised Oldblood or the more recommended (because better) Scar-Veteran. Both are Saurus and make this Behemoth a Leader and an ideal general to lead a Saurus themed army. Build one Saurus Hero on Foot, magnetized to represent either the Saurus Oldblood or Saurus Sunblood, using the bits leftover from the Troglodon kit.

These powers alone would make him worth taking but it keeps going. He gets to roll 3 dice each turn and on each 4+, gain a CP and he has a 4+ Feel No Pain save making him hardier than his 7 wounds would have you think. He also has a command ability, Gift from the Heavens which grants fly to a unit within 18″ and gives them +1 to saves from missile weapons. His only “weapon” is pretty decent, able to hit all enemies within 3″ though regardless, you want to keep him safely in the rear guard when possible. He has effectively unlimited range on a lot of his abilities, take advantage of that and don’t expose him to too much risk. Master of Star Rituals– Add 1 to casting rolls for this general if they are a WIZARD. If they are not a WIZARD, then once per battle round they can use the Herald of the Old Ones command ability from the Skink Priest warscroll without a command point being spent.

Can I just pick it up from your shop?

Awful. Even if you use Terradons, this guy doesn’t do much to help them. His command ability lets them deal D3 mortal wounds on a 2+ instead of a 4+ but is that really worth a command point, even if you often will have them to spare? Probably not. He has a frankly embaressing 6+ save andonly has a -1 for enemy non flying units. Bin this guy. Ripperdacytl Chief Place the banner arm between the icons and glue in place, the arm wants to be at 90 degrees to the icons. Brad: Greetings, fellow painters. My name is Brad Glover, and today I’m talking about my latest converted army – my Seraphon. Anyone who has seen any of my troops will know that I heavily convert and kitbash every miniature, and I love to use a bright, garish colour scheme to make it stand out and be as unique as possible. Command Trait: Ancient Knowledge – A DRACOTHION’S TAIL SLANN must have this trait. The general knows 1 extra spell from the Lore of Celestial Domination. In addition, you can re-roll 1 casting, or unbinding roll for this general each hero phase. Skinks lost their ability to do this for free, pre-battletome so now its a command ability. It’s a tough sell now as a CP because it only has a 50% chance of working but if you have the CP and are trapped in a bind, might as well give them an out because they will not last in melee.

Common spell seen across many battletomes and still good when you come up against a big unit. Most lists will have at least one “large” unit so this helps. The absurd range and Kroak’s bonus to casting make the high casting value a less bitter pill to swallow. This will be your goto when none of the more niche spells have value in the moment. B+We all know the SC box is good value but can we make it better value, I think so and hopefully here I will show you how. Swap this with three non-Command Saurus Warriors when you want to run two 10-model units of Saurus Warriors.

When I use the phrase "full command," it refers to having three models in a unit representing a single leader (Alpha), standard-bearer (Stardrake Icon), and musician (Wardrums). This terminology comes from Warhammer Fantasy Battle. Drain Magic – Casting value 9; if successfully cast, all endless spells within 24″ of the caster that are not BOUND are dispelled Swap this with three non-Command Saurus Guard from the 10-model unit to run a total of four 5-model units of Saurus Guard.Throne of the Lost Gods– Add 4″ to the bearer’s Move characteristic, and 1 to the bearer’s Wounds characteristic Lots of ways to gain Command Points –You have access to tons of relics, traits and warscroll abilities to generate CP. And you’ll need them! Like for everything else, Seraphon have two lores – one each for Slann and Skinks. Lovers of the small lizards will be glad to know they get a full lore of 6 spells. The Lore of Celestial Domination (Slann) Some of the best casting in the game. While not on the level of the Disciples of Tzeentch, Seraphon have access to one of the most powerful wizard options in the game-The Slann Starmaster. They provide both a consistent casting base, and a powerful defensive base against magic being able to dispel up to three spells at infinite range with a +1 to the attempt. If you want to go even further the Seraphon’s only special character lord Kroak can cast and unbind 4 spells a turn!
