Here at Warhammer Community, our sacred orreries* are forever scanning the heavens looking to fulfil our Great Plan – bringing you incredible images from the future of Warhammer. We have previously scryed upon the searing Spawn of Chotec and blessed Saurus Astrolith Bearer, and the astral energies have today converged just in time for us to augur the skink priesthood.
While the sagacious Slann Starmasters spend their lives unpacking and executing the complex cosmic plans of the Old Ones, quotidian matters of Seraphon society fall to skink scholars and priests, who are in turn led by shrewd Skink Starseers.
Don’t let the small size of these reptilian rectors fool you – Skink Starseers are second only to the Slann in their mastery of the arcane powers.
Much like their caecilian** commanders, Skink Starseers float into battle on arcanite palanquins, which conduct thaumaturgical energy and boost the lizard wizard’s powers. Utilising astromantic tools, orbs of pure star-glass, and their throne’s inbuilt dais, they read the constellations to provide celestial guidance to Seraphon armies.
Once per battle in the hero phase, these heavenly hieromancers can provide vital information by choosing to Scry the Stars. Drawing on knowledge snatched from the empyrean expanse, they roll a number of dice equal to the current battle round, with each roll of 2 or more blessing a unit with a 5+ ward.
