===Heroes=== ====Slann==== *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/8_BR_Kragnos_Warscroll_Lord_Kroak_ENG_2021.pdf Lord Kroak]:''' (Slann; Unique; 395pts) With 18 wounds and a 4+ save, Kroak is nothing if not durable. He has lost his original 4+ ward save, but retains a suite of excellent abilities. He can cast through Skink Wizards and Oracles as before. His melee attack now rolls for every enemy model within 3", with Monsters counting as 5 models, and deals a mortal wound for every 5+ roll. A considerable defensive buff by being able to effectively heal all damage each turn(as befitting such a massive new model like he now has). However, this comes with the condition that any roll of 3d6+any wounds suffered on that phase must roll below 20. In this way, it makes him a bit swingy to keep around, especially on a bad turn. He rolls 3 dice for the 4+ command points. He has +2 to all four of his casting and dispelling, also his dispelling covers the '''ENTIRE BOARD'''. He has a 12 inch D3 mortal spell he can cast 4 times, and now the casting roll is a fixed 7 instead of increasing every time. **His role is very different now, but when he works your opponent will cry. You may have to cry too, however, because with 18 wounds, The Kroaknado is officially dead. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//Seraphon_warscroll_Slann-Starmaster-en.pdf Slann Starmaster]:'''(Slann, 275pts) Oh boy, did the [[Old Ones]] buff these lovable fat frogmen. They went from "hey, they are pretty good, give 'em a chance" to "you are playing this game wrong if you don't have one". Having powerful battle traits backed up with a choice of strong command traits, expect to see this guy everywhere until nerfed to the ground (or get new competition for the spot). Can cast and unbind 3 spells per turn, CA gives one fellow Seraphon unit the ability to fly and add 1 to saves in the Shooting Phase, Now Slann's unique spells are a +1 to casting to everyone else and a 4+ Feel no Pain, has Masters of Order (universal unbind and +1 to casting, unbinding and dispelling rolls) and Impeccable Foresight (2d6, 4+ in Slann's case). He is still able to cast spells, through SKINK WIZARDS within 12" of him and through ORACLE ANYWHERE on the battlefield, measuring the distance from them. **New Kroak has left the way open to smaller Slann assuming his old role of reliable back-line spell anchor. To get a good level of protection for a Slann, you should to spend at least 100 points on 5 Guard. They are good, and with 7 wounds, they fit on a Baleful Vortex. Kroaknado is dead, long live the Slannado! ====Saurus==== *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//Seraphon_warscroll_Saurus-Scar-Veteran-on-Cold-One-en.pdf Scar-Veteran on Aggradon]:''' (Saurus, 175pts): Leader of the Saurus Cavalry. As a Scar-Veteran, he's a professional killing machine. His mount, the newly-bred Aggradon, is a natural-born killing machine. Combined, these two make for an efficient and reasonably priced beat-stick that can chew through infantry and other heroes. Additionally, the new Primal Rage ability granted to Aggradon units increases the number of Bite and Talon attacks based on the number of combat phases it has spent within 3" of an enemy model, capping at 3. This means that, by the end of your second combat phase, your Aggradon will be doling out 6 attacks that have 2 damage and -2 rend while the Scar Veteran is swinging in for an additional 4/5 attacks also dealing 2 damage at -2/-1 rend (For the Spear/Club, respectively). Additionally, once per battle, the Scar-Veteran can manually increase the rage score of all Aggradon units wholly within 18" of him, letting them kick-start all nearby raptors into a feeding frenzy. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//Seraphon_warscroll_Saurus-Scar-Veteran-on-Carnosaur-en.pdf Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur]:''' (Saurus, Behemoth, 255pts): This guy may as well be the mascot of the Sepharon, for few things better represent them than a mighty Aztec lizardman riding a dinosaur into battle. This is the most offensive variant of your two Carnosaur riders, though aside one unique ability and weapon profile, the two are basically identical. At the end of a combat phase, the Carnosaur the Scar-Veteran is riding gets to roll one die equal to the number of wounds inflicted to an enemy unit within 1" of it. Every 5+ results in an additional mortal wound to the target unit. Paired with the frankly monstrous damage profiles of the Carnosaur's Massive Jaws and forelimbs, there's little that this monster can't handle in a straight up fight. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//Seraphon_warscroll_Saurus-Oldblood-en.pdf Saurus Oldblood]''' ''on Foot:'' (Saurus, 135pts): Your cheapest Saurus hero serves mainly as a force multiplier for nearby Saurus Warriors and Saurus Guard. While he's not necessarily a slouch in melee himself, the main benefit he brings to the table is his ability to coax a unit of Warriors or Guard (that has yet to fight that turn) to fight immediately before or after him during the combat phase. He can also enhance the All-Out Attack command to add 1 to their wound rolls (which admittedly, Saurus Warriors wounding on a 2+ is not a bad deal by any stretch). If he's by his lonesome, however, he's not going to be winning any Hero-of-the-Year awards. If you take him, make sure you bring a cadre of Saurus to keep close at all times. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//Seraphon_warscroll_Saurus-Oldblood-on-Carnosaur-en.pdf Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur]:''' (Saurus, Behemoth, 285pts): 30 points more than a Scar-Veteran on a Carnosaur grants the Oldblood an 18" ranged shot as well as the ability to issue the same command twice in the same command phase, with the second command not costing any extra command points. The ranged blast is kinda swingy, with d6 shots hitting and wounding on 3+. Not the most efficient of ranged weapons, but if you're bringing a Carnosaur to hang back and shoot, you're playing the wrong faction. This monster still brings all the primal fury of a T-Rex to bear in melee and will match a Scar-Veteran Carnosaur swipe for swipe in battle. Still, unless you plan on abusing his command ability, you'd probably be better off just sparing a few points by sticking to the Scar-Veteran. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//Seraphon_warscroll_Saurus-Astrolith-Bearer-en.pdf Saurus Astrolith Bearer]:''' (Saurus, Totem, 140pts) A Scar-Veteran with a totem. It allows any Seraphon wholly within 12" to ignore wounds or mortal wounds on a roll of 6 and gives +1 to casting spells and +6" to spell ranges which are all extremely desirable abilities. As if that wasn't enough, these guys can also be used as a focal point for celestial summoning. Usually, you have to summon units close to your Slann, but if you have an Astrolith bearer you can also summon units near the Astrolith bearer. ====Skinks==== *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//Seraphon_warscroll_Skink-Starseer-en.pdf Skink Starseer]:''' (Skink; Wizard; 150pts) The new generic [[Tetto'eko]]. After years of being just a Skink sitting on a palanquin with you no real competitive or even casual usage, he finally can do something. Has a once-per-battle ability that allows you to a number of dice equal to the current battle round and for every 2+ you can give a 5+ protection, while the exclusive spell cancels any kind of protection roll for an enemy unit within 12" in the turn. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//Seraphon_warscroll_Skink-Starpriest-en.pdf Skink Starpriest]:''' (Skink; Wizard; 130pts) When Age of Sigmar was first released, Tetto'Eko was the only non-Slann wizard Seraphon had, but the Battletome gave them this second guy too. His only weapon's unremarkable, but he has two abilities: His staff, which can give any nearby Seraphon unit to deal mortal wounds on unmodified wound rolls of 6 (yes, this affects ranged weapons), and his special spell, which can reduce the hit rolls of an enemy unit by 1. Amazing buff givers to any unit that can generate a lot of hits (Knights, Skink Hordes, Ripperdactyls). *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/ENG_The_Starblood_Stalkers_Combined.pdf Kixi-Taka and the Starblood Stalkers]''' (Skink; Priest; Coalesced; 290pts) The Starblood Stalkers, for the points are roughly the same cost as a Starpriest and an Oldblood on foot you get a Skink priest, an Oldblood on foot, and four Skinks. Unfortunately the main reason to take an Oldblood on foot is its command ability, which Klak-Troq lacks. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//Seraphon_warscroll_Terradon-Chief-en.pdf Terradon Chief]:''' (Skink; 110pts) Squishy Terradon hero. Makes friendly Terradon drop rocks on 2+ instead of 4+ once per battle. ** [[Tiktaq'to]] and Zwup live on! ** Does NOT have rocks himself in the rules, unless that was an oversight on GW's part. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//Seraphon_warscroll_Ripperdactyl-Chief-en.pdf Ripperdactyl Chiefs]:''' (Skink; 110pt) Same as above but on Ripperdactyl. Increases friendly Ripperdactyl jaw attacks by 1. This ability is restricted to once per battle, but is their best support option since he can actually keep up with those units. Only 10 point less than 3 more Rippers though, and hard to get 1 model instead of 3... *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//Seraphon_warscroll_Stegadon-en.pdf Skink chief on Stegadon]:''' (Skink; Behemoth; 330pts) Same as Stegadon, but also a Hero. Receives some more attacks with Warspear and can do a command for free towards other Skinks each turn. ** In Thunder Lizard, this guy can become a literal 1-man army. Buff stacking on this character can result in the single highest damage build we have access to, even more than a similarly stacked Carnosaur! Prime Warbeast + ThunderQuake + Great Drake + using his CA on himself results in 28 melee attacks, most of which do 2 or more damage. On top of that, his bow is at 4 shots with 3 damage each, or the flamethrower gets an entire 2nd round of shooting! 20 models in range? heres 40 dice every 5+ is a mortal wound. And then [[Overkill|charge for the whole round of attacking after that]]. Add a Cloak of Feathers on top so he can fly and is -1 to be hit. Move over Archaon, the Skink Chief is here! *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//Seraphon_warscroll_Skink-Oracle-on-Troglodon-en.pdf Skink Oracle on Troglodon]:''' (Skink; Oracle; Behemoth; 270pt) No longer the loser it was in WFB. This blind Spinosaurus has the ability to use both range and melee decently. Its Skink Oracle rider is now a fully-fledged WIZARD and can draw upon Slann powers, receiving the Comet's Call spell, unlimited unbind range and +1 to rolls for casts, dispels and unbind attempts! It can be hilariously fast since its ranged attack gives it a reroll charge distance. It gets a bunch of decent attacks in melee and causes enemies within 3" to became unable to get Inspiring Presence. On top of that, it seems that now GW uses the word "'''Trog'''" as a synonym for "''regeneration''", [[Awesome|since now this mofo can heal D3 wounds per turn]]. It can be fun to watch these bifid-tail fellows snowballing out of control if your enemy somehow let them unchecked. Cool sculpt; jack of all trades, master of none tho, it might have used here and there, especially in starborne summoning lists. Also is Kroak's new best friend since he can cast Celestial Deliverance through it. What you can't take away from him is being a somewhat tanky Slann range extender that won't mind being in melee.
