    Hey All,

    I have only recently started playing Sigmar (I used to play 40K here and there), but have always enjoyed painting.

    Long story short - I bought the Seraphon Start Collecting box, and fell in love with the models... and want to build up an army.

    I wont lie, I get confused reading the battletomes! Thankfully the warscroll builder helps, but when it comes to picking alegiences/hosts etc I am a little lost.

    Onto to the list idea - I am leaning toward a saurus-centric list. I dont care too much about being competitive, but it has to be fun to play (i.e, not fall apart in turn one!) - quite honestly most models in the list are chosen because i think i would enjoy painting them!

    Here is what i am thinking:

    LEADERS
    • Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur (250)
    • Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (210)
    • Slann Starmaster (260)
    • Skink Oracle on Troglodon (260)

    UNITS

    • 10 x Saurus Guard (200)
    • 10 x Saurus Knights (200)
    • 10 x Saurus Warriors (90)

    BEHEMOTHS
    • Dread Saurian (510)

    That gives me 1980 points.
    LEADERS: 4/6 BATTLELINES: 3 (3+) BEHEMOTHS: 4/4

    In my head i think it would make for a pretty display on the tabletop... how well it would play I honestly have no clue.

    It would be great to get your thoughts - firstly on whether the list is just a disaster from the get-go, but if it has some legs then what would be useful in terms of artifacts, Coalesced/starborne, factions and all those other things I am still trying to get my head around!

    Much appreciated,

    Mike.

    Welcome to lustria!

    Unlike 40k, AoS is a lot less about killing enemy units and a lot more about holding objectives. Your 3 best units to do so are only 10 models strong. So your list's current primary weakness is a lack of bodies.

    While the Troglodon is a beautiful model, it is over costed for what it does. Dropping the Trog to up the model count on Knights or Warriors would be a good use of those points.

    Thanks LizardWizard - thats really useful to know.

    So i need more bodies on the ground - ditching the toglodon would let me take an additional 20 warriors and 5 knights... which definitely seems like a reasonable trade-off. You are right though, its a lovely looking model :(
