    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.
    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.
    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.
    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 :D

    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.
