AoS Need help with a list

[Slam mage priest]

I am completely new to list building for seraphon. Need to make a 1500 point army. The models I have are: 20 skinks, 50-60 saurus warriors, one star priest, one bastiladon, 2 carnosaur that can be scar or old blood, about 15 cold one cavalry with 1 scar vet on cold one, 1 astrolith standard, and I think that's all. I have like 5 temple guard as I'm on the middle of building but they won't be done in time

Without a Slann, the Astrolith Bearer under performs. Not Sure I'd include him. Those Knights and Scar-Vet would give you a Firelance Starhost. His CP, plus 2 MW chances per lance can be devastating. I would think about using the Priest as a Starpriest proxy, if you want a dispel. I'd use the Skinks to screen the Priest/Starpriest from deep strike. The Oldblood's CP is also worth using and with a Battalion, you'll start out with 2 CPs. You absolutely want a Bastilidon for it's tankiness. Finally, if you're playing an objective game, use the Warriors to capture and help hold those.

Here's two lists that could work for you:

Allegiance: Seraphon
Mortal Realm: Ghur
Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (240)
- General
- Greatblade
- Trait: Thickly Scaled Hide
- Artefact: Coronal Shield
Skink Starpriest (80)
- Artefact: Gryph-feather Charm
5 x Saurus Knights (90)
- Lances
5 x Saurus Knights (90)
- Lances
5 x Saurus Knights (90)
- Lances
10 x Skinks (60)
- Meteoric Javelins & Star Bucklers
10 x Skinks (60)
- Meteoric Javelins & Star Bucklers
40 x Saurus Warriors (360)
- Clubs
Bastiladon (280)
Firelance Starhost (150)

Total: 1500 / 1500
Extra Command Points: 1
Allies: 0 / 200
Wounds: 114

In this list, the Trait and Artefact on the Scar-Vet is for resilience. You want to try and make use of the Firelance battalion as much as you can. Also, I'd suggest running your Warriors and Basti together or near each other.

Allegiance: Seraphon
Mortal Realm: Ghur
Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (240)
- General
- Greatblade
- Trait: Disciplined Fury
- Artefact: Blade of Realities
Skink Starpriest (80)
- Artefact: Gryph-feather Charm
Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur (260)
5 x Saurus Knights (90)
- Lances
5 x Saurus Knights (90)
- Lances
5 x Saurus Knights (90)
- Lances
10 x Skinks (60)
- Meteoric Javelins & Star Bucklers
10 x Skinks (60)
- Meteoric Javelins & Star Bucklers
30 x Saurus Warriors (300)
- Clubs
Firelance Starhost (150)

Total: 1420 / 1500
Extra Command Points: 2
Allies: 0 / 200
Wounds: 108

This list is meant to utilize the Oldblood's CP on the Scar-Vet and give his Greatblad 6 attacks at -2 Rend and 2 Damage. Charge in with Firelance and dish out that extra damage. You sacrifice the Basti, but you can still use the Warriors for objective control or additional screening. This list also allows for 3 starting CPs and a 20 or 30 point Endless Spell.

Those lists are just quickly put together. There are also several great Artefacts that can complement your Carno riders weapons and you'll have the ability to equip two, since you're running a battalion.

Would you say it would be good to get some form of slann to put in there? I'll mainly be fighting stormcast

 

[Wilhelm Stürmer]

Absolutely yes. The Slann is the lynchpin of the Seraphon army as its meta is summoning. However, I built those list based on your initial post which did not mention you owning a Slann.

 

[Aginor]

I agree. Get a Slann as soon as you can.
