Hey all, I'm relatively new to seraphon (played a bunch of lizardmen back in fantasy, been bloodbound so far in sigmar) but I just love my dinos too much to not come back. My meta is pretty tough (skaven, slaves to darkness, dragon riding aelves and of course beastclaw) and I want to be able to compete. We play at all kinds of levels depending on the day so here's three lists I came up with. We also roll for traits/artifacts but for tournaments I'll be able to pick 1k Heroes: Scar vet 100 Scar vet 100 Skink starpriest 100 Battleline: Saurus warriors x 10 (clubs or spears?) 100 Saurus warriors x 10 (same as above) 100 Other: Chamo skinks x5 120 Chamo skinks x5 120 Ripperdactyls 140 Battalion: Shadows trike 120 I think the list can do well against all but beastclaw, especially with a stone horn at 1000. The scar vets are just cheap and killy, the Battalion makes wizards I'm likely to see a small points shake with fear and Saurus with some support can hold objectives well. Rippers are Rippers and I hope to throw them at an expensive necessary unit or artillery. 1.5k Heroes: Scar vet 100 Scar vet 100 Scar vet 100 Skink starpriest 100 Behemoth: Bastiladon (Laser) 300 Battline: Saurus warriors x10 100 Saurus warriors x10 100 Other: Chamo skinks x5 120 Chamo skinks x5 120 Ripperdactyls 140 Battalion: Shadowstrike Shadow strike does the same as above, eliminate key targets early. Scar vets grab objectives, priest keeps bastiladon at 2+ and bastiladon lasers things. Warriors Camp objectives. 2k Heroes: Slann 260 Scat vet 100 Jade battlemage 100 Leader/behemoths: Engine of the gods 240 Artillery: Salamander 60 Behemoths: Bastiladon (Laser) 300 Bastiladon (Laser) 300 Battleline: Skinks x10 (darts and shields) 80 Skinks x10 (darts and shields) 80 Skinks x10 (darts and shields) 80 Other: Skink handlers 40 Chamo skinks x5 120 Chamo skinks x5 120 Battalion: Thunderquake hooo 120 This list I love, big monsters, slann and battlemage support, healing, chaos killing wizards and key heroes early, fast troops for the far objectives, bastis just blowing things up. I'm worried the thunder quake is slow, but I think I can get it on one objective and let the skinks, chaos, and scat vet work on the others with my range support What do yall think? Sorry for the wall of text
I build a similar 2k list Leaders Engine of the Gods (240) Battlemage (100) Celestial Hurricanum With Celestial Battlemage (320) Battleline 10 x Skinks (80) - Meteoric Javelins & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (80) - Meteoric Javelins & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (80) - Meteoric Javelins & Star Bucklers Units 5 x Chameleon Skinks (120) 3 x Razordons (180) 3 x Skink Handlers (40) 1 x Gryph-Hound (40) Behemoths Bastiladon (300) Bastiladon (300) Battalions Thunderquake Starhost (120) Total: 2000/2000
Thanks Bowser! Yea, I'm trying to stay mostly seraphon, do you think the slaan is a good idea? I'm really more worried more about my lower point lists as they just don't seem as solid as the thunderquake starhost seems to be. I feel like I lack power without a carnosaur. What do you think?
Your 1k list is pretty decent, good power, great assassination possibilities. Your 1.5 k list needs some work, it is missing a battleline. I would probably go something like this: Leaders Skink Starpriest (100) Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (260) - Warblade Saurus Sunblood (120) Battleline 10 x Saurus Warriors (100) - Clubs 10 x Saurus Warriors (100) - Clubs 10 x Saurus Warriors (100) - Clubs Units 5 x Chameleon Skinks (120) 5 x Chameleon Skinks (120) 1 x Salamanders (60) Behemoths Bastiladon (300) Battalions Shadowstrike Starhost (120) Total: 1500/1500
Oh my store allows 2 battle line until 2000! I like the carno addition though, it's my favorite model and I'd like to get them in but I feel they just fall short when I see Stonehorns and elf dragons. I'm interested in the sun blood as well. I'd like to try him in a Saurus heavy list. I just have a problem getting my Saurus to work in 10 man units. Played 2 games with my 1000 tonight vs stormcast with raptors, 10 retributers, dracoth lord and liberators. My Saurus just died in droves, but loved the shadow strike. Those raptors never got to fire a shot as the skinks or rippers tore them appart. Couldnt close the scenarios out tho as the retributers just wrecked everything, especially with the starsoul maces.
Maybe if you have the time for a second bastiladon Leaders Skink Chief (60) - General - Golden Sickle Skink Starpriest (100) Battleline 20 x Skinks (160) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (80) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers Units 5 x Chameleon Skinks (120) 5 x Chameleon Skinks (120) 3 x Ripperdactyl Riders (140) Behemoths Bastiladon (300) Bastiladon (300) Battalions Shadowstrike Starhost (120) Total: 1500/1500
