Actually, I'd probably leave it out or change it.

T9A is a spiritual successor to WHFB 8th, however it's in no way related to AoS and the Seraphon.

I suppose it could be changed to:
Almost every model that can be used in the WHFB 8th Lizardmen army (and to that extent the Seraphon army from Age of Sigmar) has an equivalent in T9A rules.

Or just leave it out entirely if that's easier :D
 
All three drafts together :: trying for "more informal voice"...
2nd Major Draft.

Kings of War — Salamanders

Kings of War is a fast-paced tabletop game. Developed by Mantic Games, players fight in mass battles using armies of warriors and monsters. These model fantasy creatures are organized in trays or on stands into units. They then represent regiments of a large table top army. The Salamanders are one of about a dozen factions or nations available in the Kings of War rules.

Salamanders have dinosaurs, other scaley creatures and three kinds of interrelated bipedal reptilians who are all about flame, heat and fire. Their armies also include fire elementals as well as the dinos and reptiles. Their dangerous homeland is an archipelago dominated by three active volcanoes projecting from the sea.

At KOW-Salamanders.com players will find forums devoted to: discussing every aspect of the Salamander faction, a forum to post army lists and another for posting battle reports. There are also forums for help with tactics and rules questions.

At the umbrella hosting site (Lustria Onine) Salamander players will find sections devoted to Painting, Conversions, Sculpting and Terrain, and Army Backgrounds and Player Generated Fiction (fluff). Brand new players or gamers returning to the hobby should click here to become forum members. The new member introduction section is here and quite painless.

Saurian Ancients in The 9th Age...

Fantasy Battles: The 9th Age (T9A) is the table top miniature war game designed by (and for) players looking for a direct successor to Warhammer Fantasy Battles (WFB) 8th edition. It's a game where organized rank and file units of traditional fantasy creatures form familiar armies to wage table top war. The free 9th Age rules allow the use of figures from any manufacturer. Some example armies include: Beast Herds, Dread Elves, Ogre Khans, Vermin Swarms, but most importantly the successors to the Games Workshop Lizardmen: the Saurian Ancients.

Saurian Ancients are the army of dinosaurs and everything scaley. Almost every model from WFB Lizardmen or the "Seraphon" faction in AoS has an equivalent in T9A rules. Dinosaur and lizard-folk miniature ranges are available from: Avatars of War, Citadel / Games Workshop, Mantic, RalPartha, ReaperMinis and several others. Saurianancients.com has places where 9th Age players can post Battle Reports and get help with rules interpretations from more experienced players, discuss which miniatures to use, get help with army list composition or tactics.

The 9th Age Fantasy Battles enthusiasts will also find related forums (hosted by Lustria Onine) devoted to Painting, Conversions, Sculpting and Terrain, and Army Backgrounds and Player Written Fiction. Lustria Online has a large collections of Saurian/Reptilian/Dinosaur paint schemes, conversions, and army colours in the Itza Gallery of Fine Arts. Brand new players or gamers rediscovering the hobby can click here to become forum members. The new member introduction section is here and thoroughly painless.

I think that reads fine Pendrake. My only comments now are small ones - perhaps break up some of the longer sentences, especially in the introductory paragraphs? Readers will be more engaged if they're eased into the descriptors rather than whelmed by a long sentence.

Example: "Kings of War by Mantic Games is a fastpaced mass-battle table top war game."

Revision: "Kings of War is a fast-paced tabletop game. Developed by Mantic Games, players fight in mass battles using armies of warriors and monsters."

The "revision" is admittedly longer, but I hopefully got across the idea of making it a little more punchy.

It's not a huge thing, but maybe something worth considering.

Done.
And, thank you.
You phrasing is better. Any more revisions to suggest?
 
Both sets are excellent but I think the informal voice is the slightly better option. The forum itself is fairly informal so it's fitting. All hail Pendrake, Publicist of the Old Ones!
