Saurus Scar-Veteran on Cold One
Saurus Sunblood
Slann Starmaster

Troglodon

Ravenak's Gnashing Jaws
Aethervoid Pendulum
Purple Sun of Shyish
 
emerald swarm + an eternal starhost would be amazing. It more or less solves the main weakness of the eternal starhost (provided your opponent doesn't just shoot 15 mortal wounds a turn into your guard...). Just imagine re-rolling 2+ saves that also heal/ressurect D3 wounds each turn.

this is an idea I'm playing with, but firstly i need to see how the guards will be shaped with the new battletome.
 
still, I would hope there's at least something from GW to help with this, even if it's a lame upgrade kit or something. Give a faceplate for the stegadon or something. Cuz right now I can't even really think of anything besides either colour-coding them or going all-out and remodelling basicly the entire thing. There simply isn't much space for a "simple" kitbash. The howdah's already overcrowded when you just field the regular crew, and aside from the howdah we don't really have any decorations to play around with either.

get one of your spare trog or carnasuar heads and mini chains have it hanging from the back and make it a hunting party with a skink cheif as the leaders
 
Guess benefits for living at the ass of the world.... :D

I made a few comments to my mates regarding this release and all they're saying is that Seraphon players are a bunch of whingers... never happy.

Wow, that’s a bit harsh, just because you said a few things about the release. Perhaps it’s time to find a new group of opponents if you’re existing group is calling you a whinger?
 
I found the posts on FB and I don't trust them by a single bit. The guy said to ask him questions and didn't answer a single one. Other members state that he was very pessimistic before too. I also think, that reviewers doesn't receive a book beforehand. They always look like they opened it for the second or the third time. Well, the reviews may be recorded way before hand too.

In general, his words doesn't make sense. Removing wary fighters from skinks and giving nothing in return and leaving them at 70 pts doesn't make sense. It is just incompetence. And the new BT already looks like they put a lot of effort in it. It may be not a top competitive one, but I am assured that it will be a good battletome and fun to play. In the end, how can you nerf something like a Temple guard? They had 2 attacks, 3+, 3+ -1 1. You can scare no one in current AoS meta. How to nerf them? Remove attack? Rend? Make 4+ to-hit or to-wound? Why? It would be absolutely stupid. The only thing that is close to nerfing so far is Oldblood's Spear, but it is just stayed the same, actually. Worse rend but better to-hit. One may argue that EotG got nerfed, because it will have only 3 results now, but how much exactly we needed? We wanted mortal wounds or summon anyway. Healing was situational, but now it has a way longer range. When you bastis are 10 wounds and stegies are 12, it can be really helpful. So I won't call it a nerf right now. So won't trust the guy until I literally see what he said in the new BT.

My opinion on Stegageddon - yes, it is just a promotion. Just look what you can do with the new battletome. But the traits and abilities they showed are all useful. You may not to want to bring 8 stegadons to a game, but getting 1 or 2 more without taking behemoth slot may end up useful. Other abiltites are also very nice and double shooting is plain strong.

And, I am sure, everyone will want to get a skink chief just because he is a hero. You can use command abilties with him, give him realm artefacts and warlord traits. I wonder if we will be spamming them instead of standard stegadon.

Just take everything you read that doesn't have any form of verification with a gargantuan grain of salt.

well I was thinking now we received a 2 new heroes(troglodon and stegadon), maybe we can receive a new Hero with name, like kroq-gar?

moreover, reading again all post, i don't understand why we have a hability to changes the slann spell, and Nagash(ok is nagash) and arkhan know all spell lore

Might be because slann are generic and not named characters? Perhaps(hopefully!) Kroak will know them all?

Lincoln won't give a bad advise, will he?

TBH, it is always scratches at the back of my head: "Why would this guy lie? In two days he could be proven wrong and no one will believe him ever." This is the only reason I don't ignore such stuff.
 
if he said the truth and we received a "nerf", we need start to prepare the spam to all GW media, for the power and honor of slann oc xDDD

out of jokes, it would be quite sad to receive a nerf after 5 years -.-
