Hey y'all! This is mainly a fun list, but has anyone tried something like this? Could it work and/or be hilarious? Any suggested changes? I am a bit sad about the less than optimal 30x Skinks + 10x Skinks, that makes the bigger group pretty vulnerable. But we need two, for the battlelines. Alternatively we could use just one Chameleon Skinks group and another Skink one, but I'd like to have the 10 Chamos. And of course the Terradons can be replaced by Rippers if you like those better. Could be fun to have two toads on the field making the enemy paranoid. EDIT: Oh, and the weapons for the Skinks should be Boltspitters and Shields of course. For the Terradons I am not sure, but I tend to favor Bolas.

Or you could do something like this, If you wanted to add the Skink chief back in drop the Steggy and add 2 Scarvets on cold ones for hero hunting.

Doh! I've just looked at the requirements for the Battalion not looked at GH You could split the skinks 20 and 10, would that work?
Yeah, it would, the sad thing is that the Starhost (unlike bataillon warscrolls from, say, Ironjawz) allows only two units, so you lose the Starhost bonuses for one of the units if you split it.
Priest 5 Chamos 20 skinks rippers Starpriest 5 Chamos 20 skinks rippers Use the 2 units of 10 skinks to block for your unit of 20? that work?
Actually you would only need to split one. (3 Battlelines are needed, they can belong to a bataillon or not.) Priest 5 Chamos 30 skinks --> first battleline, Starhost 1 rippers Starpriest 5 Chamos 20 skinks --> second battleline, Starhost 2 rippers 10 Skinks --> third battleline, no Starhost => Same points, but allowed.
It's all setaphon, so seraphon allegiance. You still get the artefacts and such. I like your list, the guard are great objective hunters, though you could drop them for a scar-vet on cold one if needes for more tough heroes. I would probably do one unit of Ripperdactyls and one unit of terradons, just for the extra terror and board control of a blot toad.
Fun fact: My friend I'm playing against and I don't care much for those battleline rules anyway. I try to abide by them if it isn't too severe. ...my friend did care much more, until last week when I found out that Ironjawz don't have ANY battleline units so mixed destruction with Ironjawz (which he is doing) is pretty much impossible. They should at least make the Ardboyz battleline.
Wait, wait wait. WHAT? I think we may have a miscommunication here. It doesn't matter which allegiance I have, at 2000pt I need those three battlelines right? So @Crowsfoot 's first example is missing one battleline. I took the guard just to have the third battleline to be honest. I have no clue what they can do since I have none. Concerning Ironjawz: I know, but he plays mixed Destruction. So he can use neither of them as battleline.
Nope, @Crowsfoot has 2 units of skinks and 2 units of knights. Four battleline All seraphon. Seraphon allegiance, but can still use the order abilities and artefacts. This is why the Azyr subscription is worthwhile to me. I can build completely legal lists and finally get answers on allegiances. And your guard are only battleline for seraphon allegiance, same as knights! Haha!
