Hi, I recently got lucky enough to pick up some dinos for an absolute steal - but right now, I'm a relative newbie to both Seraphon and AoS (played a few games with Sylvaneth and slowly getting the hang of it) and am not sure which army list is best to utilize what I have. I'll have to to a bit of kitbashing, but as of now I have the following: - Saurus SC Box (including the extra Troglodon etc. after kitbashing) -Stegadon with EotG -Skink Starpriest, -24 extra Skinks, which I'd like to take to 1500- 2k points for matches against SCE and Sylvaneth. I absolutely love the idea of running behemoths/big dinos and calvary like Saurus Knights because they feel more straightforward for learning to me, but I feel that what I have right now goes into a more magic-focused direction - and I like Bastiladons as well as the Terradon models which seem to be more of a Starborne specialty. In total, I'd like to invest a maximum of 250€ (GW website prices) to take me up to a functioning 2k army - I was considering getting 1 Lord Kroak and 1-2 SC Skink boxes, but is there anything else I should consider buying? Maybe some Salamanders or one more SC Saurus box for extra Knights and Warriors?
What you have currently seems a pretty mixed bag of things, in the new seraphon book, it all revolves around synergies. If you want to be efficient with your money then what you have leans into a saurus build more easily. You already have some saurus warriors and knights so you could buy another saurus start collecting. Having something like 2 carnosaurs, skink chief on stegadon and skink starpriest with some knights, warriors and skinks wouldn’t be a bad starting army
Thank you! Yeah, it's a bit of a weird mix - the seller told me he initially wanted to run them in Fantasy instead of AoS, so maybe that's why (I also have to rebase them all to round bases, yikes). Looks like I'll definitely put another SC Saurus box on the list, thank you for your suggestion!
Instead of rebasing them, especially if they are already painted, you can make round base converters if you have a 3D printer, or buy them. I did a quick search and this was the first that place that came up, so I don't know anything about it, just praying it as an example. https://www.etsy.com/listing/666474...MItZfOqPPU6QIVDQiICR0dAwF8EAQYASABEgLuPvD_BwE
