Funny thing, this does not mean the Skink has to be close to the enemies cause both beasts have only one single weapon profile and both are ranged.

Otherwise his role is pretty much the same. He’s basically Kroak’s understudy, with 1 fewer spell, +1 to cast instead of +2 but most of the same abilities. Notably Celestial Equilibrium was moved from the lore to a warscroll spell, which does soothe losing Comet’s call a bit, giving all other Wizards a +1. He also gets the new spell Shield of the Old Ones to give him a 4+ Ward against Mortals, good for avoiding being targetted by the enemy’s own spells.Coordinated Strike, rather than a mediocre command ability, is now a free command to any Skink unit (including itself). You have a lot more options for viable skink units than before, so this is well appreciated. Otherwise the 4 wounds make it a lot more durable, especially with Armored Crest against elite or single model units. Just a solid buff bot that can also scrap alongside his comrades. Independently from how you are going to form your bulk, you will need some flying units for their amazing Movement and high Wounds (high movement is just king in Warcry).

Telling you whether or not you should get a battletome is often challenging. Frequently, it’s not a decision you get to make. If you like the army and want to play it, you have to get the book. It doesn’t matter if you like the rule changes or not, if you play the army you have to get it if you want to keep playing it. Seraphon army rules are all contained in their third edition battletome. The first choice you have to make when selecting a Seraphon army is if they are either Coalesced or Starborne and is the most important one as it will force you in a certain direction. Basically you are looking at two different armies.The Starseer can fly 4″, while the others can move 6″ but have access to the Skink common ability Nimble Retreat, that for a Double allows a bonus disengage. Really useful to run away from enemies getting too close for you to be comfortable. Contents: 1 Chaos Lord on Karkadrak (Hero), 10 x Warriors of Chaos (Batteline), and 5 x Chaos Knights (Battleline in Slaves to Darkness army) To summarize you have many tactics available and you can decide to have a mixture of them or go all-in with just a subset of Saurus or Skinks.

Saurus Knights are known to be armed with either a warspear or blade made of Celestite. One amongst a group of Saurus Knights may perhaps bear an icon in the image of a Stardrake. [3] SourcesThey are adept in skirmish and ambush tactics retreating after hitting to compensate with their fragile nature.
