This is the latest from what both Warhammer TV and Warhammer Community had to say about them, along with our commentary on it as well! Overall, a very nice lore set. Good mix of utility that can be hot swapped with a Heroic Action as needed. Lore of Celestial Manipulation (Skinks) Coatl Familiar– This cool item allows you to cast one additional spell once per game with the added advantage that this spell can be any chosen from the Lore of Ancient Domains. Even more Seraphon minis were revealed during AdeptiCon 2023, along with the art for their new battletome and army box! As before, Slann and Skinks each get their own lore. The twist is these are tied to Starborne only – Coalesced get their own lores. This makes the two armies differ quite a bit more than before. Lore of Celestial Domination (Seraphon)

Summon Seraphon –You are able to spend between 8 and 30 CPP to summon a new Seraphon unit to the battlefield. This unit is set up within 12″ of a cosmic node with the usual 9″ restrictions. Units that can be summoned range from 10 x Skinks to 1 x Engine of the Gods! 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.A Starborne Seraphon army gains access to a number of unique Battle Traits. The first is L ords of Space and Time which grants access to two unique Heroic Actions for your Slann units. Contemplation of the Ancient Ones allows you to swap a spell that a friendly Slann knows for another from the Lore of Celestial Domination, granting some useful utility mid-battle and allowing you to adjust your repitoire of spells on the fly as a battle progresses. The second, Spatial Translocation allows you to remove a friendly Starborne unit within range of a Slann and set it up again anywhere on the battlefield (with the usual 9″ restrictions). Battleline in Koatl’s Claw. Big beautiful new models that are awakening things in players across the world, both flavours of Kroxigor are similar enough in warscroll and in disappointment. 4 wounds, 4+ save and movement 5” are all OK stats for big models but both just lag behind similar warscrolls in terms of damage output for cost.

The Starmaster comes with a number of options for different arms, faces and trinkets. There are also plenty of choices to make around building his floating palanquin and which skinks will attend to his needs. Azure Light costs 5 points to return D3 models to every unit with a wound characteristic of 1 or 2. Can really come in clutch if you spam lots of Skinks, which you will, and even Saurus. This is interesting, as you want to (in some ways) run both types of units, as the Tepok Lances get stronger if you hit them with the Hunters in the same turn. Still, this puts the to-hit roll to a 3+, so without that, you’re only hitting 50% of the time. Better Saurus –Saurus struggled with some pretty ugly ass models and just not being all that great on the table. Now they’re far more resilient and can put up a decent fight too!There are expansive rules for commanding Knight Households and fielding entire armies of Knights, including options to march beneath the resplendent heraldic banners of the Household. Rules are also included to allow players to field a Household drawn from six of the loyal Knight Households of Molech. There also isn’t much variation across the box. With a hero-style centrepiece unit in the Slann Starmaster and then 10 raptadons and 10 warriors, the set may have benefitted from just a little something else – perhaps another hero unit, like we saw with the Khal and the Einhyr Champion in the Leagues of Votann Army Set same on slann, lost +1 to cast of asterysm and comet, and not being able to garrison on our scenography anymore. They said a few weeks after this box, the models will all be released on their own, so hopefully, you don’t have to wait too long. New Seraphon Skink Starseers are Masters of the Arcane! (March 6th, 2023) This is where it turns into a bit of a bummer. Two abilities that used to be freebies have been changed to heroic actions, which means you have to be a bit more considerate of using them. You still have methods of generating extra CP, so not being able to do Heroic Leadership isn’t as bad as it sounds, but you don’t have as many.

Cosmic Crush – A great spell that you’ll want to cast against your opponent’s most heavily armoured units. If successfully cast you roll a dice for each model in the target unit and for each dice that equals or beats the save characteristic you’ll inflict a mortal wound. I’d recommend painting the riders detached from the mounts at the very least, and if you’re able to, also painting the raptadons off their bases. It can be quite difficult to reach their undercarriages if they’re on their bases, and you don’t want to risk splashing rider paint all over your painted raptadon by painting them fully assembled. Raptadon Hunters This is part 2 in our review of the Battletome: Seraphon included in the Seraphon Army Set. We received a free copy of this box from Games Workshop. Units A certain Cold-blooded Unity between the two units allows Raptadon Chargers to deal increased damage with their Tepok Lances if the unit they target has already been distracted by a hail of celestite-tipped javelins from their Hunter counterparts.

Coalesced Spell Lores

Starborne Slann are also the ones you want if you’re a fan of heavenly ordnance and want access to the classic Comet’s Call ability. Note that he Raptadons can be built either as 5 Chargers and 5 Hunters, or as 10 Chargers or 10 Hunters. Seraphon Army Set – Review and Miniatures First Look – Miniatures Master of Star-rituals (Skink) –A great Command Trait which grants the Skink access to all spells from the Lore of Celestial Manipulation.
