Hello there! I'm coming back after leaving WH in early 7th edition, and despite being a Dwarf player back in the day, I remember fondly my best friend's Lizardmen, and his Slann, and the magicks... So Seraphon it is. In my shop there is a lot of 1000 pts matches and tournaments. I'd like to start with a 1000 pts list (although I think the most common format is 2k?), and increase it if -when- I get definitely hooked by the sons of Sotek I'd like to field a Slann, too. I enjoy the miniature a lot. I don't know if it's viable in 1k, though. If it isn't, could you explain me why? If it is, what do you suggest to buy? I've seen that marvelous post where you can upgrade the Start Collecting! box to get even more dinos from it. I guess it's a good start?... But then, I don't know. I need the updated rules, too. Should I get the GHB19, or it's just a lot of fluff and very few rules that I can get elsewhere? (If the latter, where should I head to get them?) Thank you! I'll continue reading the updated guides and tutorials in the forum, and getting pretty hyped with the lizard boys.
Firstly, do you know if you will be playing Meeting Engagements or Pitched Battles? Slann are absolutely viable for 1000mpp pitched battles. In Meeting Engagements there is a high likelihood that you won't have enough turns of your Slann being on the table to merit its inclusion. Perhaps something like this for Pitched Battles: Allegiance: Seraphon -Mortal Realm: Aqshy Leaders: Slann Starmaster (260) - General - Trait: Great Rememberer - Artefact: Ignax's Scales - Spell: Meteoric Convocation Skink Starpriest (80) - Artefact: Incandescent Rectrices - Spell: Stellar Tempest Battleline: 10 x Skinks (70) - Meteoric Javelins & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (70) - Meteoric Javelins & Star Bucklers Units: 6 x Ripperdactyl Riders (280) Battalions: Shadowstrike Starhost (180) Endless Spells / Terrain: Balewind Vortex (40) Total: 980 / 1000 Extra Command Points: 1 Allies: 0 / 200 Wounds: 49
