I will let expérience player react, I juste have few questions Reading your list:
What about "Old & Grizzled" ?
Is it for the astrolith bearer ?
Dont you think the serpent dag on him is a waste ?
What grand Strategy do you have in mind ?

I find the Additional d3 summoning points more important than 1 extra CP as we already get a enough. I had to give the Dagger to someone and the astrolith is the one I trust most not to immediately die in combat.
For Grand Strategy, I don't honestly know

Looks good and gotrek is a good add, the only thing is they took away leader from gotrek otherwise he’d be op as hell

What do you mean with "they took away leader"? He is still a Hero and can use Heroic Recovery, right?

 

[DaBush]

Nope, he is not a leader and does not get access to the hero chart

 

[Tobi131313]

Nope, he is not a leader and does not get access to the hero chart

You don't have to be a Leader to use that chart, you only have to be a HERO which he definitely is

 

[DaBush]

Thank you for challenging me on that I was mislead, I believe you’re right! Not a leader but a hero and heroes get the charge. So good!

 

[Tobi131313]

yeah! i re-read just to make sure i wasn't spreading misinformation, but with Heroic Recovery he can reliably get 2D3 healing every Round, making him a nightmare to remove

 

[ChameleonGnom]

Do we have any way to speed him up besides cogs?

 

[Tav]

I like it a lot. Has all of the parts you want, not sure arcane tome is the best use of an artefact, id rather have maybe retrices on the starpriest since you just have the 1. Its also putting even more importance on the slann and you don’t have any guard

Yeah i did a test game with it and 3 spells are more than enough, but about survivanility, i would put the Slann into the Realmshaper, with that he gets +1 to his save and -1 to be hit, so that should help

More concerned about mortals to be honest, only 7 wounds and a big part of your army goes down, guard are well worth the investment as they double up as a decent screen and objective holder

This looks interesting! Following. I have stormcast and Gotrek just started back into it with dominion box. However I used to play lizardmen 20 years ago and kinda want to get back into seraphon with a cheap to buy list. This one wouldn't be bad at all on the wallet and gotrek.
