Hey Everyone! nice to meet you all ^_^ (question, what are the most competitive lists for Seraphon?)

Welcome!

As for the most competitive lists:
- Thunderquake
- Shadowstrike

Both with Slann general and summoning, mostly Skinks.

 

Welcome to Lustria.

I have had good results at GTs with Seraphon. These are the two list I created and use:

2000pt Dracthion's Tail/Shadowstrike Starhost


Allegiance: Seraphon
- Mortal Realm: Ulgu

LEADERS:
Slann Starmaster (260)
- General
- Command Trait : Great Rememberer
- Artefact : Miasmatic Blade
Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur (240)
- Artefact : Doppelganger Cloak Saurus
Scar-Veteran on Cold One (100)
- Artefact : Betrayer's Crown
Skink Starpriest (80)
- Artefact : Light of Dracothion

UNITS:
6 x Ripperdactyl Riders (280)
10 x Skinks (70)
- Meteoric Javelins & Star Bucklers
10 x Skinks (70)
-Meteoric Javelins & Star Bucklers
5 x Saurus Knights (80)
- Lance
5 x Saurus Knights (80)
- Lance
5 x Saurus Knights (80)
- Lances
3 x Razordons (120)

BATTALIONS:
Dracothion's Tail (80)
Firelance Starhost (150)
Shadowstrike Starhost (180)

ENDLESS SPELLS / TERRAIN:
Balewind Vortex (40)
Chronomantic Cogs (80)

TOTAL: 1990/2000
EXTRA COMMAND POINTS: 3
WOUNDS: 107

Units I place in the Heavens:

• Oldblood on Carnosaur
• Scar-veteran on Cold One
• Razordons
• Saurus Knights (with lances)x1
• Ripperdactyls (technically in the clouds)

This is list I use for 2k tournaments. It is centered around setting the tempo of the game and removing your opponents major threats turn one. It takes strong threat assessment and good movement to use effectively, but it hasn't lost for me yet.

Turn one I LoSaT my Slann up field if needed to gain range on deploying my Razordons and ScV on CO. Try to find the corner of a horde unit to engage with the ScV on Co to make good use of Betrayer's Crown and with luck you will tie the unit up in combat for more than one turn or force an unfavorable retreat.

Engage the enemies largest threat with your Ripperdactyls. This is where game knowledge is crucial. The threat potential of any given unit changes from list to list and based upon the given battleplan.

The Oldblood on Carno is generally used as my second wave. I try to save this deployment for a counter attack to remove any units my opponent used to clear my Ripperdactyles.

Use your Skinks to grab center field objectives.

Be mindful of your Cogs. The goal of this list is to control your opponent's movement phase by tying up units in combat. Make sure that you do not give your opponent extra movement that will allow them to reach objectives.

The Oldblood on Carnosaur can be swapped out for an EotGs if you want more utility and less alpha strike. However, the Oldblood Carno is extremely useful in match ups vs Flesh-eater Courts.

This list can also be modified by dropping the Carno to add an Astrolith Bearer and increase one unit of Saurus Knights to 10x. The extra +1 to casting helps with both Cogs and BwV. In addition to adding in more sustain through summoning it can make for a devistating double turn if you send in Rippers turn one and follow up with the ScV Co and and 10x Saurus Knights who have been buffed 4 times with the ScV command ability on turn two. The last three times I played this list I chose this route. Not entirely certain which variation I prefer atm.

Here is a link to a previous Q&A from the list's GHB2018 incarnation.

2000pt Shadowstrike Starhost

Allegiance: Seraphon
- Mortal Realm: Aqshy

LEADERS:
Slann Starmaster (260)
- General
- Command Trait : Great Rememberer
- Artefact : Ignax's Scales
Saurus Astrolith Bearer (160)
Engine of the Gods (240)
Engine of the Gods (240)
Skink Starpriest (80)
- Artefact : Light of Dracothion

UNITS:
6 x Ripperdactyl Riders (280)
10 x Skinks (70)
- Meteoric Javelins & Star Bucklers
10 x Skinks (70)
- Meteoric Javelins & Star Bucklers
10 x Skinks (70)
-Boltspitters & Star Bucklers
3 x Razordons (120)
2 x Razordons (100)

BATTALIONS:
Shadowstrike Starhost (180)

ENDLESS SPELLS / TERRAIN:
Balewind Vortex (40)
Chronomantic Cogs (80)

TOTAL: 1990/2000
EXTRA COMMAND POINTS: 1
WOUNDS: 100

Quick Guide:

• Deploy EotGs within 25" of an enemy unit.
  • This will likely mean deploying them towards the middle of the phase.
• Summon Additional Rippers with EotGs turn one if possible.
  • Having to go first means you likely will get less value from Bloat Toads. Having additional BT helped greatly in 2 games.
• Hang onto summoning points if your Slann is safe and you don't need the summoned units to score an objective.
• Consider changing my Slann's Command Trait to Vast Intellect. Double LoSaT isn't needed with this list, but is still very useful.
• Do your best to zone enemy Wizards away from dispelling your BwV and Cogs.
• Get your Slann in Cover. A 2+ rerolling save with BwV, Cogs, Look Our Sir, and Scales of Ignax makes for an exceptionally durable Slann.
• Keep your EotGs within 10" of your Slann when possible, but don't hard tether yourself to this if your EotGs is needed elsewhere.

 

Welcome to the forums!

I don't play a lot of Age of Sigmar. I'm more old school preferring 8th edition so I'll say "do what LizardWizard said."

I will say to give the Getting the Most Out of Your Starter Kit thread a looksie before you start assembling your models. That's why I put it in the Index of Indexes. I believe every newbie should read that thread before any other if they are interested in Age of Sigmar. Otherwise, browse the forum or use the Indexes to make guided searches.

Let us know us if you have any other specific questions about gameplay, fluff, painting, or anything else.

 

@Crowsfoot's SCbox guide is amazing.

You should also check out @Killer Angel's The Art of Summoning & GHB2019 Seraphon Overview. Lastly, my shameless plug for my Seraphon List & the work in progress that is Priority Targets.

 

Having been summoned by @LizardWizard , i am here.

None can resist the chanted intonations of my summonings!
