Warcry/Tactics/Seraphon

Faction Overview

Older than memory, existing for aeons unrecorded, the Seraphon have ever waged an unending, savage war against Chaos. Now they've brought that war to the seat of power for Chaos in the Mortal Realms – the Eightpoints.

Pros

• Variety of Models Ranging all the way from the humble Skink, through Saurus, Saurus Guards, Knights and flyers, there's potential for different play styles within the Seraphon Warband.
• Mobile Thanks to the high movement of the Terradon and Ripperdactyl Seraphon warbands can quickly secure key locations on the battlefield.

Cons

• Expensive to collect The Start Collecting box set contains enough to build a war band out of the Knights and Warriors (including a single warrior commander - the Knights can't lead), but you'll need skinks in order to use the Double ability. The Terradon, Ripperdactyl, Saurus Guard boxes are more expensive but also have commander options.
