Just want to check, my understanding is that even though it now has a skink priest on it's back it doesn't pick up the skink priest keyword as the FAQ was written, correct?

 

[Davema]

I thought that was a strange update - what was the point of it?

To have a rider and a mount. Priest does nothing, actually.

 

[ILKAIN]

the priest is now the hero, they did it to stop putting artifacts on the stegadons weapons. it was expected.

"BAH!" I know it might have been expected, but still "BAH!"

 

[Satoabe]

But since there is a priest...can Kroak cast a spell through the EotG?

 

[Nart]

It didn't receive priest keyword or anything, unfortunately. Skink Priest is just a name of a hero, riding Stegadon and Arcane Vassal is bound to keyword, IIRC.

Only works on skink wizards and oracles.

 

[Batch]

It does seem like at that price point, and the obvious EoTG nerf that it could have had the Priest keyword, give it a prayer even if making it a wizard is too much.

GW would have to like us for that to happen.

 

[Imrahil]

So this will mean skink priest on foot and the skink hero on top of it.

Grrr, Imrahil

 

[Mees]

Then I guess an EotG is still not able to get the Master of Star Rituals trait in a Thunder Lizard army since it has a monster mount? Too bad :/

I think it can? The stipulation is that it can’t be a wizard if you want the free CP ability from the priest.... someone correct me if I am wrong though

 

[Nart]

You have to take Prime Warbeast for Mounted warlord in Thunderquake Templehost. If you want MoSR for free CA, you'll have to give it to Skink Priest - there's no other options.

Ahh yes, I am a dummy.

 

[Slikus Vaw]

so in all technicality you can bring 2 EotGs nd activate them 3 times total with the thunder lizard command ability

Yes.

It says in the EOTG rules "At the start of the shooting phase, you can make 1 cosmic engine roll for 1 model with this ability."

It does not say, "An EOTG can make 1 cosmic engine roll."

The "For 1 model with this ability" denotes that only 1 of the models can make that roll.

GW doesn't want someone bringing 5 of these and creating 2 -6 units of saurus every turn.

I know, you would be using the EotG ability once normally without a command point nd then twice with the command ability from the thunderlizerds at the end of your shooting phase but point wise it's not really worth it.

I think it is worth it with a slaan, When you tell your opponent it can potentially create 2 units of Saurus a turn they will put a lot of effort into getting it instead of your other threats and it typically if fired twice creates 2 units a game if protected, that makes a 260 point unit into a 180 point unit with a pocket 180 unit.
