Vanguard: Seraphon Goes for the Throat In a Display of Saurian Fury

The

cold-blooded warriors of the Seraphon

are living weapons of war, all teeth, claws, scales, and primal instinct. They battle under the

command of the Slaan Starmasters

, cosmic amphibians who have travelled through the void of unreality to ensure that the Old Ones’ great plan is executed with impunity. 

Whether you want to field an army of terrestrial Coalesced striding out of their Temple Cities, or a host of Azyrite-infused Starborne summoned from the void-ships, the all-new Vanguard: Seraphon will give you a razor-sharp backbone to build an army around.

At the forefront of this tide of teeth is a mighty Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur. These savage and belligerent generals are covered with the scars of battles past, and have managed to bend a predatory Carnosaur to their will. You can also build him as a Saurus Scar-Veteran, or as a Skink Oracle on Troglodon, which can launch corrosive spittle at their foes.

With their sturdy scales and robust celestite shields, Saurus Warriors are a living anvil who hold the line and break enemy charges. In return they lash out with clubs, spears, and their own ferocious jaws, and no, they don’t care if their target is a putrescent servant of Nurgle or a rock-skinned Troggoth.*

The final piece of the Vanguard is a unit of hulking Kroxigor. These lumbering brutes are monstrously striking, wielding weapons that can easily crush every bone in an Orruk’s body. They can alternatively be built as Kroxigor Warspawned, marked for war by the god Sotek.

This box is a great place to start for any new Seraphon player. You can easily expand out from here with a sorcery-slinging Slann Starmaster, who makes a great Andtorian Locus for the new season of Warhammer Age of Sigmar Matched Play.

Alternatively you can back this implacable core force up with even more bloodthirsty reptiles in the shape of Aggradon Lancers, or lend them some sneaky support with the chameleonic Hunters of Huanchi. For more news from the Age of Sigmar, sign up for the Warhammer Community newsletter.

* The Old Ones presumably provided an immaculate dental plan for their saurian progeny.
