Hello together,
I am sharing my thougts on how DT will look like under the new GHB.
Ofc this is just a theoretical opinion, but I am a Top 50 Player in Germany and only playing DT on any Tournaments.
First of all some general thougts on the new GHB and what will work for DT and whats not
"The Key to Victory" is more or less irrelevant for DT. Armys that can realy kill your Slann by given them turn 1 will now use the sharpshooter Battalion and all others couldent kill him anyway, I think 5 Guard is always a need for evry DT list.
Also the new Heroicactions are more or less irrelevant for DT.
Now it gets nice The new Realmspell is like a Monster and in my opinion we will see a nerf of this Ability soon, but in the time its live we will use it! The possibility to increase it to a range of "18" is amazing, that means often in deployment you hava targets "18" appart and you can put some in range.
The new Realm Command is also nice for Salamander, a bit niche but I think we will see it in use.
The New Aspects are amazing for DT! "Leadership of the Alpha" let us drop 3 Units of Salamander and give them all AOA! This will push us as in Alpha strike Damage!
Battaltactics are our problem, because in general Seraphon have right now not the excess to real GC that are realy needed for scoring those BT. BUT non of the new BT says "starting Army" so we have the possibility to score those BT later with "maybe" Summond Units.
In general so that all of our Points of important units go up, Summoning will be more usefull und relevant!
All those Thougts lead to the following core list, ofc it can be change as we see the Meta, but in general I think this is the core:
Allegiance: Seraphon -
Constellation: Dracothion's Tail -
Mortal Realm: Ghur -
Grand Strategy: Take What's Theirs
LEADERS
Skink Oracle on Troglodon (250) - Artefact: Godbeast Pendant - Mount Trait: Starborne - Spell: Tide of Serpents
Slann Starmaster (290) - General - Command Trait: Ancient Knowledge - Ancient Knowledge 2nd Spell: Stellar Tempest - Spell: Mystical Unforging Saurus
Astrolith Bearer (160)
UNITS
5 x Saurus Guard (120)
10 x Skinks (80) - Pipe & Star Bucklers
10 x Skinks (80) - Pipe & Star Bucklers
2 x Salamander Hunting Pack (300)
2 x Salamander Hunting Pack (300)
2 x Salamander Hunting Pack (300)
TOTAL: 1880/2000
With this list you have protection agains Hordes with tempest and tide.
You will do on avarange 8 CP each round and have a super solid range with any casting.
How to add the rest of the points:
I see some Points for just add a Priest, or to dropp 2 Salamander to add PRIME and Purple Sun.
Also just adding Sun and jaws looks fine too!
Also I would like to add Terrawings, the possibility to keep them in reserve and just drop them to use there Mighty shooting ability looks nice, I now its a gamble to play them but for 70 Points they look like a steal, in worst they can hold (steal) an Objektiv anywhere on the Map.
You will pretty good hande other GC because in general they have between 5-8 Woulds.
With realmspell/Komet/Realmshaper/Prime you have a lot of tools to provide MW damage on Casting/range.
If you go 4 Heros I would also get Tome for the Slann just for extra casting. 4-5 Dropps still looks good in my Opinion
I am open to any discussion, Greets and nice Weekend
