The Thunder Lizard holds a simple article of faith: that the greatest of the Old Ones' works were not the slann or the saurus, but the colossal beasts — the stegadons, the bastilodons, the mountainous behemoths that shake the ground with each stride. To the Thunder Lizard these living siege-engines are sacred, the truest surviving expression of their makers' craft, and the constellation orders its whole way of war around unleashing them.
A warhost of the constellation advances behind thundering herds of armoured monsters, skink handlers and saurus riders steering a tide of horn, plate, and tonnage into the enemy line. Its answer to a fortress wall, a massed formation, or an enemy champion tends to be the same: something weighing upwards of thirty tons, crowned with a war-engine, that is already moving and cannot easily be stopped. Subtlety is left to others; the Thunder Lizard trusts in mass, and mass rarely disappoints.
There is a devotional weight to this beyond tactics. When the great beasts of the Seraphon trumpet and charge, the Thunder Lizard's skink priests raise their voices with them, honouring the Old Ones' handiwork in the only language such creatures speak — the long roll of impact, and the silence once nothing is left to oppose them.
Seraphon
Order of battle
The Thunder Lizard field the units of the Seraphon — a detachment from the roster:
Kindred formations
Other Seraphon formations
Dracothion's TailThe oldest and most orthodox of the Starborne constellations, said to have been guided to safe harbour in Azyr by the great celestial drake Dracothion when the slann fled the death of their first world. Its temple-ships hang above the realms like patient stars, and its hosts blaze into being precisely where the slann's dreams require them — often before the enemy knows there is a war to lose.
Fangs of SotekA Starborne constellation devoted to Sotek, the serpent-god whose coming the skink priesthood has prophesied since a world long dead. Skink-led and skink-swift, the Fangs strike like venom through a vein — sudden, fluid, and finished before the wound is felt.
Koatl's ClawA Coalesced constellation whose long ages in the wild realms have thickened starlight into muscle, scale, and cold fury. Dominated by its saurus warrior-lodges, Koatl's Claw answers most strategic questions with a charge, and its warhosts have flattened fortresses that believed themselves besieged by mere animals.
