So I’ve been looking into a mixed order army that composed mainly of my seraphon but uses certain order models to boost them up, examples being the archmage, sisters of the thorn, loremaster, luminark of hysh, and celestial hurricanum.
Here is just a few things combinations I’d thought you may want to hear about, if you know any or have any good ideas yourself don’t hesitate to add them to this thread!
So my first thought was regarding the celestial hurricanum and lore master with a horde of saurus warriors (at least 20) if you didn’t know the celestial hurricanum has an ability where you can add +1 to hit rolls and +1 to casting for friendly units surrounding it.
The lore master has a spell which lets you reroll hit and wound rolls for a unit, simple
This may seem pretty insignificant but if im correct this would mean we would have a bunch of saurus warriors hitting on 2+ rerolling, wounding on 3 or 4 depending on which weapon you use rerolling. In a maxed out unit of saurus warriors in a horde of 30 in a sunclaw starhost you can see how powerful this is.
You may be thinking hmm, that’s a lot to invest in one unit? But if you want to be full on cheese you can use the archmage to allow you to make an additional save roll of 6+ for any wound or mortal wound you take, or even better the luminark of hysh has the same effect but instead of being a spell is an instant bubble for all friendly units within range!
Obviously you can do this with any order unit but as I’ve almost bought too much seraphon to paint in a life time I thought I’d be friendly to our favourite lizzies.
This is where I started to get a little bit over excited, saurus guard...
One thing that also sounds interesting is saurus guard in an eternal starhost, as you may be aware, the saurus guard are unique in their ability to have an additional 2+ to save rolls if in the eternal starhost and close to a hero. Pretty sick as is right? Well what if you had the sisters of the thorn could cast a spell on a unit of guard that allows them to reroll save rolls and enables them to deal a mortal wound whenever they make a save roll of a 6+, this essentially means that because of their abilities saurus guard would have a 2+ rerollable save but on a 4+ they would do a mortal wound to the enemy unit. It gets even better and I don’t even feel bad about it, you could use the luminark to make them have that additional save roll of a 6+ if your rerollable 2+ save doesn’t help you, and I’m not sure about this but I presume that if you successfully make that additional save roll, with the SotT spell that would also mean you deal a mortal wound)
The thing is you might think this is a lot to invest, but The sisters of the thorn are fairly cheap and decent units by themselves and that’s all you would need to add on for the sexy combo, additionally the luminark and celestial hurricanum act with bubbles for your entire army not just the single units I’ve spoken about so it wouldn’t just be invested into that unit alone.
Another model I suggest you look into is the frost heart pheonix (-1 to hit bubble ability which I believe stacks)
What do you think?
