Hi all,

I could use your help and feedback. I am tryting to build a (semi)-compentative starborne saurus army. However, I always have a difficulty to see what works in real just based on reading. I have this as base. I love the salamanders so I would like to use them buffed by the star priest and use the teleport on them. Still somehow it feels a bit off.
I wonder if I should use a Slann instead of Lord Kroak ( who I love). I also have 100 point left for spells which I am not sure how to use. If I change the Slaan in, then I would have more point to add maybe one more heros.


What do you guys think?


Allegiance: Seraphon
- Constellation: Dracothion's Tail
- Mortal Realm: Hysh

Leaders:
Lord Kroak (320)
- Spell: Stellar Tempest
Skink Starseer (140)

- Artefact: Godbeast Pendant
- Spell: Tide of Serpents
- Ancient Knowledge Spell: Celestial Harmony
Skink priest (70)
Saurus Sunblood (130)
Saurus Oldblood (110)

Battleline:
30 x Saurus Warriors (270)

20 x Saurus Warriors (180)

20 x Saurus Warriors (180)

I like @Erta Wanderer's suggestion of brining Bound Geminids.

I would further recommend drooping the Oldblood to bring a Scar-Veteran on CO. The ScV and the Oldblood's Command ability will math out to be almost identical. However, the in the current meta there a couple list who stack negatives to hit. -3 is sadly not that uncommon. At which point exploding hits on an unmoded six becomes way better.
 
The Starseer can't take the Ancient Knowledge command trait, only a Slann general.
 
I played the game yesterday. It went well and I won.

I was underwhelmed by the Carnosaur to be honest. His 4+ really means I need to pick the target right for him when I charge. I know that now.

Lord Kroak is a named character. That would mean that he cannot take command trait right? So I cannot give him the Ancients Knowledge.
 
Gratz on the victory!

Sadly Kroak can not be the bearer of command traits or artefacts.

Yes, that was my thought. Do you have any suggestions?

Sorry, I didn't really have a suggestion, and I don't think I'm the best at army construction. I asked because at first it seemed like the priest didn't fit the list. Then I remembered that salamanders have the skink keyword, and can really benefit from the priest's abilities. How did the sallies/priest do?

Congrats on the victory!
