Hey guys, I'm trying to make some somewhat competitive lists around 1250 points to fight the more potent armybooks like Tzeench or OBR, based on the Models I got finished in my display case. I'm "done" with the army and got everything that I want painted up. I'm not really into buying more models - especially ugly ones like Salamanders (the actual elephant in the room, though) - just for the sake of competing for one iteration until the next nerf. There has to be a way to make this collection work! So dear old ones - please help me to withstand the universal habits of buying the best models in the book and show me a way to enlightment! So we have the following models to play around with: Slann 1x Kroak 1x Slann Skinks 1x Skink Oracle on Troglodon 1x Skink Starpriest 1x Skink Starseer 1x Skink Priest 1x Engine of the Gods 1x Stegadon with Skink Chief (also playable as Stegadon with Bow) 30x Skinks 10x Chameleon Skinks 6x Rippers 2x Bastilladon Saurus 1x Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur (also playable as Scar Vet) 1x Saurus Scar Veteran on Cold one 1x Saurus Oldblood 1x Saurus Sunblood 1x Saurus Eternity Warden 1x Saurus Astolith Bearer 25x Saurus Guard 40x Saurus Warriors (the only exception in where I would paint 20 more) 15x Saurus Knights 3x Kroxigor Other 1x every Endless Spell of the 1st Iteration For the more visual types among us: With that in mind I came up with these lists: 1. Thunderstrike Tbh I thought this list was a pretty good idea against Tzeench (doubleshooting Bastiladons), but I got completely crushed. Spoiler Allegiance: Seraphon Leaders Slann Starmaster (260) Stegadon with Skink Chief (270) Battleline 10 x Skinks (60) 10 x Skinks (60) 5 x Saurus Guard (100) Behemoths Bastiladon (220) Bastiladon (220) Endless Spells / Terrain / CPs Bound Emerald Lifeswarm (60) Total: 1250 / 2000 Wounds: 67 2. Summoning Since the games against the premiumbooks normally don't last very long i doubt that this will work too well. Spoiler Allegiance: Seraphon Leaders Lord Kroak (320) Slann Starmaster (260) Saurus Astrolith Bearer (140) Battleline 5 x Saurus Guard (100) 10 x Skinks (60) 10 x Skinks (60) Behemoths Bastiladon (220) Endless Spells / Terrain / CPs Balewind Vortex (40) Bound Quicksilver Swords (40) Total: 1240 / 2000 Wounds: 60 3. Saurus I feel like I need a Slann or Kroak to maintain enough command points. While great against some armies, overall I feel like Saurus aren't the best idea going up against the premium books. I guess I could change Kroak for a Slann + Skink Priest here, for an overall better combo-potential. Spoiler Allegiance: Seraphon Leaders Lord Kroak (320) Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur (250) Saurus Scar-Veteran on Cold One (110) Battleline 40 x Saurus Warriors (320) 5 x Saurus Guard (100) 5 x Saurus Knights (100) Endless Spells / Terrain / CPs Balewind Vortex (40) Total: 1240 / 2000 Wounds: 86 So you see that I haven't found something I'm happy with so I'm grateful for every advice. Thanks for your help! All hail the bloat toad
knights can be really goodie koalas claw. 7 attacks per model which i normally put serpent venom on. maybe this at 1250? kroak skink starpriest scar vet on cold one 5 guard 15 knights 10 skinks 10 skinks 10 chameleon skinks the knights are the damage dealer. kroak can support with magic and the chameleons can threaten a deep strike and, with kroak, threaten heroes
Hey, this is great, thanks for the answer. I really like that list. You could even kick 60-100 points for some endless spells for some variation if you feel like it. Ofc I'm always open to even more ideas, don't feel scared off.
