New AoS Lizardmen 2023 Seraphon Update Pre-Orders Revealed
Battletome: Seraphon
After an auspicious first outing in the Seraphon Army Set, Battletome: Seraphon is being made available to all. This book contains everything you need to play armies of Coalesced reptiles and celestial Starborne. It contains new and updated rules, warscrolls, and pitched battle profiles for every last Seraphon unit and sub-faction, plus fresh Path to Glory rules.
Prostrate yourself before these scaly sentinels by picking up the limited edition, which features gilt page edges, gold foil blocking, a red ribbon page marker, and a soft-touch cover. It is limited to just 400 numbered copies.
New rules and ways to play are always the best way to re-invigorate factions! That being said, all the updated and new model releases this week are also sweet!
Slann Starmaster
All Seraphon operate under the command of the Slann Starmasters. These ancient amphibian augurs were created by the Old Ones to ensure the cosmic equation known as the Astromatrix is not unbalanced and the Great Plan comes to pass. Their mastery of cosmic energies and spellcasting prowess make them powerful linchpins for any Seraphon host.
As the leaders of the Seraphon, these spell casters are key peices to the faction at large.
Skink Starseer
The skink priesthood are the devoted attendants of the Slann Starmasters, interpreting their croaked pronouncements into prophecy and plans of action, while making certain the temple-cities continue to operate. Starseers are the most powerful skink wizards, second only to their slann superiors, and they read the heavens during battle to predict the future and bestow blessings upon their allies.
As the helper of the Starmasters, these Starseers are another essential part of the lore for seraphon, but they also bring great support to the tabletop!
Saurus Scar-Veteran on Aggradon
While mages and sages sling spells from the back lines, the Saurus Scar-Veterans launch themselves headlong into combat on the back of alpha predators – like the supremely savage aggradons. Possessed of a barely-restrained savagery, rider and mount alike surge into enemy lines with a ferocious roar.
This human blender, err… Lizard-blender is devoted to melee power and the model matches that vibe perfectly!
Saurus Astrolith Bearer (delayed in Japan)
Saurus marked by destiny will carry astroliths into combat – complex devices covered in astrological symbols, with an orb of purest celestite floating in the middle, they act as conduits for heavenly energies to further empower the Seraphon armies.
As the last devoted support piece this week, be sure to snag this guy up as these types of units usually can make huge impacts on army performance.
Aggradon Lancers (delayed in Japan)
Few shock cavalry are as effective at throwing entire battlelines collapse in fear than the mighty Aggradon Lancers. Aggradons are a particularly vicious breed that become frenzied at the first taste of blood, and their saurus riders take advantage of this trait to carve right through their enemy’s vanguard units.
As one of the new Cavalry options, these new Lancers will make a splash on the charge!
Kroxigor
Kroxigor are the most physically imposing of all the Seraphon, dwarfing even the ferocious Saurus. Normally used as labourers in the great temple-cities, they wade into battle alongside their skink cousins swinging huge mauls and hammers. This kit also builds Kroxigor Warspawned – a far more savage variant, blessed with crocodilian features by the god Sotek and armed with massive starfang war-picks.
As one of the coolest of the new model updates, these Kroxigor are sweet! Expect them to be significant elite-level threats that can easily dominate most lesser models in combat.
Raptadon Hunters
Aggradons weren’t the only breed of lizard awoken by the feral roar of Ghur. Clutches of inert raptadon eggs also hatched, adding intelligent pack hunters to the Seraphon stock of mounts. They are ridden into battle by skinks, who take advantage of their mount’s natural speed and smarts to befuddle enemies and exploit weaknesses.
This set builds either five javelin-throwing Raptadon Hunters or lance-wielding Raptadon Chargers, two units who have natural synergy on the battlefield.
As a slightly more elite cavalry, the Raptadons look like a serious threat, especially with the limited ranged threats in AoS overall.
Saurus Warriors (delayed in Japan)
Saurus Warriors are the mainstay of most Seraphon armies. With vice-like jaws, rending claws, and hardy scales for armour, they are living weapons and defenders of the geomantic nexus. Stick a celestite spear or club in their hands, and these furious beasts become an ordered cohort that can go toe-to-toe with the toughest foes in the Mortal Realms.
As the backbone of Lizardmen lines, the new Saurus Warriors will significantly impact the appearance and feel of Seraphon lists on the tabletop.
Spawn of Chotec (delayed in Japan)
The salamanders herded by Sun Acolytes born under the blessing of Chotec are a unique element among the Seraphon. These creatures are essentially living artillery, belching flaming globs of corrosive saliva across the battlefield to weaken the armour and broil the flesh of their enemies.
Artillery in AoS can be notoriously strong if protected, and the Seraphon certainly have the tools with their wide variety of large and medium-sized models!
