It looks like a ton of new Seraphon are still on the way, as Games Workshop just revealed the salamander Spawn of Chotec unit!
At the LVO preview, we saw the first batch of new Seraphon models, but there are even more on the way for the army! It only makes sense for new monsters to join AoS Star Lords, as these come from the most volcanic regions and are led by Sun Acolytes.
At the bottom of the article, they do say there will be another prophecy from the Old Ones, which maybe means we’ll see even more Seraphon models before this is all said and done.
New AoS Seraphon Spawn of Chotec Revealed By GW!
Let’s check out the new model from Warhammer Community.
Found in the most volcanic regions of the Mortal Realms – and hence all over Aqshy, where they’re often hunted by Fyreslayers – the Spawn of Chotec are fire-spitting salamanders which the Seraphon revere as the offspring of the sun god himself. The Sun Acolytes who handle these sour-tempered salamanders are marked for their duty from birth. When the stars flare and the spawning pools boil, the skinks who emerge are blessed with incredible resistance to heat, as well as frills that resemble Chotec’s own sunburst.
The models are all pretty cool, and with so many new options for Seraphon, you should be able to sink your hobby teeth into this!
In between burning sacrificial victims alive, these disciples are tasked with raising salamanders – then sedating them with crawtoad venom and fitting Old One technology into their skulls. These precious relics allow the Sun Acolytes to direct their choleric charges with light-emitting staves.
If you’re going to have Old One technology into your skull, you might as well be sedated! Back to the model side of things, there are some really nice details on this, and it should be a fun addition to your forces.
Seraphon Spawn of Chotec Rules
When a skink handler marks a foe with a dot of ruby-tinted light, the Spawn of Chotec hawks a viscous Glob of Flame Acid at the target. The ensuing splatter not only ignites immediately, it’s caustic enough to leave victims vulnerable to further attacks.
It is only a 4+ to hit, but if it does hit, it should wound very easily and do a ton of damage! With D6 Damage and Rend -2. Then, the enemy will have -1 to save against all subsequent attacks against them that turn!
