Warriors of the Stars and the Realms

A Seraphon army will be made up of either celestial Starborne or savage Coalesced warriors that have settled in the Mortal Realms.

After you have chosen the Seraphon allegiance for your army, you must either give it the STARBORNE keyword or the COALESCED keyword. All SERAPHON units in your army gain that keyword, with the exception of models that already have one of the keywords on their warscroll.

If your army is a COALESCED army, you can give it the KOATL’S CLAW, NAKAI's WANDERERS, or THUNDER LIZARD keyword. All COALESCED units in your army gain that keyword and you can use the extra abilities listed for that Constellation.

If your army is a STARBORNE army, you can give it the CHOTEC's FEATHERS, DRACOTHION’S TAIL, or FANGS OF SOTEK keyword. All STARBORNE units in your army gain that keyword and you can use the extra abilities listed for that Constellation.

Cold-blooded

Seraphon are coldly impassive, rigidly steadfast and completely without mercy.

Ignore modifiers (positive or negative) to the Bravery characteristic of SERAPHON units.

Designer's Note: Abilities that replace the Bravery characteristic with a set value still function normally.

Powerful Jaws

A bite from these fearsome creatures is strong enough to rip a limb off a lesser warrior or tear a massive blood chunk from the flank of a beast.

Each time a SAURUS or KROXIGOR unit fights, after all of its attacks have been resolved, pick 1 enemy unit within 1" of the SERAPHON unit and roll 1 dice for each model in the friendly unit within 1" of the enemy unit. These dice rolls are referred to as bite rolls. For each bite roll of 6+, that enemy unit suffers 1 mortal wound. If the SERAPHON unit is a HERO, make 3 bite rolls instead of 1.

Predatory Fighters

Coalesced Seraphon have become more closely attuned to the primal ferocity harboured by all members of their race.

Add 1 to bite rolls made for COALESCED SAURUS and COALESCED KROXIGOR units.

Scaly Skin

Having achieved true physicality, the scaled hides of Coalesced Seraphon become tougher with the passing of time. Many of their warriors develop thick bony plates and latticeworks of scar tissue that act as natural armour.

Subtract 1 from wound rolls for attacks that target friendly COALESCED units that have the SAURUS, KROXIGOR or MONSTER keyword.

Beasts of the Dark Jungles

Primal jungles stretch for miles around the temple-cities of the Coalesced. These perilous wildernesses give rise to truly awe-inspiring reptilian titans, perfect for taming into beasts of war.

When you carry out a monstrous rampage with a COALESCED MONSTER, you can carry out the monstrous rampage below instead of any other monstrous rampage you can carry out with that unit.

Cosmic Power

Drawing on the power of Azyr, the Starborne harness celestial energies to further their designs for reality. If you have a Starborne army, the following are considered to be cosmic nodes:

• Friendly STARBORNE WIZARD units;
• Friendly STARBORNE ASTROLITH BEARER units;
• Friendly Starborne Realmshaper Engine faction terrain features.

During the battle, you will be able to receive cosmic power points (CPP) to spend on abilities and summoning units to the battlefield.

You begin the battle with 0 cosmic power points. At the start of your hero phase, you receive 1 cosmic power point for each friendly cosmic node on the battlefield.

SPENDING COSMIC POWER POINTS
In your hero phase, you can spend your cosmic power points on any of the following abilities. You can only use the ability if you have enough cosmic power points to do so, and the same ability cannot be used more than once each phase.

Azure Light

Portions of the battlefield are bathed in the energies of the cosmos, knitting together the halfethereal forms of Starborne warriors.

You must spend 5 cosmic power points to use this ability. You can return D3 slain models to each friendly STARBORNE unit with a Wounds characteristic of 1 or 2 that is wholly within 12" of any friendly cosmic nodes. Roll separately for each unit.

Protection of the Old Ones

The starhost’s Astroliths begin to thrum with eldritch power, enveloping the assembled Seraphon in protective star-energies.

You must spend 10 cosmic power points to use this ability. Until the start of your next hero phase, friendly units affected by the Revivifying Energies ability have a ward of 5+ instead of 6+.

Cleanse the Realms

Novas of scouring energy begin to coalesce and swirl above the Seraphon, at last erupting outwards with obliterating force to wipe away the impure.

You must spend 15 cosmic power points to use this ability. Roll a dice for each enemy unit within 12" of any friendly cosmic nodes. On a 2+, that unit suffers a number of mortal wounds equal to the roll.

SUMMONING SERAPHON
At the end of your movement phase, you can spend your cosmic power points to summon 1 unit from the following list and add it to your army. Each unit you summon costs the number of cosmic power points shown on the list, and you can only summon the unit if you have enough cosmic power points to do so. Units must be set up more than 9" from all enemy units and wholly within 12" of a friendly cosmic node.

Lords of Space and Time

Starborne slann are masters of cosmic sorcery, possessing nearly limitless arcane insight and able to send their warriors through pathways in reality’s skin in the blink of an eye.

At the start of your hero phase, you can carry out one of the following heroic actions with a friendly STARBORNE SLANN instead of any other heroic action you can carry out with that HERO.

Add 2 to the Attacks characteristic of the bearer’s melee weapons if they have suffered any wounds in this turn.

Sotek’s Gaze

The eyes of this gilded war-mask resonate with the pitiless hunger of the Serpent God. Lesser foes cannot help but be cowed by its gaze.

Their consciousness soaring up to the heavens, the slann summons a cluster of comets before casting them into the enemy’s ranks.

Dracothion’s Tail

Whipping across the heavens, Dracothion’s Tail is said to mirror the mood of Azyr itself. The Seraphon warriors of this vast constellation are swift and unpredictable, and when bolstered by the blessings of their mystical Starmasters they strike without warning to bring the vengeance of the heavens down upon their foes.

Appear on Command: During deployment, instead of setting up a DRACOTHION’S TAIL unit on the battlefield, you can place it to one side and say that it is set up on the temple-ship as a reserve unit.

Fangs of Sotek

The Fangs of Sotek strike as swiftly as a streaking meteor.

Koatl’s Claw

Butchery and brutality are the hallmarks of Koatl’s Claw. The sheer savagery of Ghur has buried its way into the hearts of these Coalesced, rendering them furious and unsubtle fighters. Their saurian legions fight without heed for their own survival, a tide of thick scale and sharp fangs come to obliterate all before them.

(Kroxigors count as battleline)

The Thunder Lizard

Guardians of the Old Ones’ most precious treasures, the Thunder Lizard brook no intruders into their domains.

In addition, at the end of the charge phase, you can carry out 2 monstrous rampages with each friendly THUNDER LIZARD MONSTER instead of 1.

(Stegadons count as battleline)
