I feel like kroak is a little to spensive for a 1k list, his summons are neutered as well as his one unique spell, and he doesn't really give you enough room for your troops. Honestly just take a regular slann starmaster if you really want a slann in this list
Yeah at more than a third of your army he is kind of a burden, but here are a few that you could try. Good old eternal starhost: Leaders Lord Kroak (540) Saurus Eternity Warden (140) Units Saurus Guard x 5 (100) - Seraphon Battleline Saurus Guard x 5 (100) - Seraphon Battleline Saurus Guard x 5 (100) - Seraphon Battleline Gryph-Hound x 1 (40) Behemoths Bastiladon (300) Battalions Eternal Starhost (80) Scenery Balewind Vortex (100) Total: 1500/1500 Or Ton of rerolls: Leaders Lord Kroak (540) Skink Starseer (160) Skink Starpriest (100) Units Saurus Warriors x 10 (100) - Clubs - Battleline Saurus Warriors x 10 (100) - Clubs - Battleline Saurus Warriors x 10 (100) - Clubs - Battleline Behemoths Bastiladon (300) Scenery Balewind Vortex (100) Total: 1500/1500 Huge Hero phase, but not a lot of hope outside of that: Leaders Celestial Hurricanum With Celestial Battlemage (320) Battlemage (100) Lord Kroak (540) Skink Chief (60) - Golden Sickle Engine of the Gods (240) Units Skinks x 10 (80) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers - Battleline Skinks x 10 (80) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers - Battleline Skinks x 10 (80) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers - Battleline Total: 1500/1500
I really like this list, it seems really defensive provided you don't let your infantry stroll too far from kroak. It has the potential to get rid of scary heroes, banners, and monsters with all its strong ranged shots from the basti and with kroaks spells, while leaving your eternal starhost to just chill and wipe out anything that gets too close to kroak
Yes, but they cannot benefit from the order abilities or artefacts. So the hurricanum won't be able to get a phoenix stone but Kroak and engine or skinkbheroes can.
Leaders Slann Starmaster (260) Saurus Eternity Warden (140) Jade Battlemage (100) Units Saurus Guard x 5 (100) - Seraphon Battleline Saurus Guard x 5 (100) - Seraphon Battleline Saurus Guard x 5 (100) - Seraphon Battleline Gryph-Hound x 1 (40) Kroxigors x 3 (180) Behemoths Bastiladon (300) Battalions Eternal Starhost (80) Scenery Balewind Vortex (100) Total: 1500/1500
