Hey All, I have only recently started playing Sigmar (I used to play 40K here and there), but have always enjoyed painting. Long story short - I bought the Seraphon Start Collecting box, and fell in love with the models... and want to build up an army. I wont lie, I get confused reading the battletomes! Thankfully the warscroll builder helps, but when it comes to picking alegiences/hosts etc I am a little lost. Onto to the list idea - I am leaning toward a saurus-centric list. I dont care too much about being competitive, but it has to be fun to play (i.e, not fall apart in turn one!) - quite honestly most models in the list are chosen because i think i would enjoy painting them! Here is what i am thinking: LEADERS Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur (250) Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (210) Slann Starmaster (260) Skink Oracle on Troglodon (260) UNITS 10 x Saurus Guard (200) 10 x Saurus Knights (200) 10 x Saurus Warriors (90) BEHEMOTHS Dread Saurian (510) That gives me 1980 points. LEADERS: 4/6 BATTLELINES: 3 (3+) BEHEMOTHS: 4/4 In my head i think it would make for a pretty display on the tabletop... how well it would play I honestly have no clue. It would be great to get your thoughts - firstly on whether the list is just a disaster from the get-go, but if it has some legs then what would be useful in terms of artifacts, Coalesced/starborne, factions and all those other things I am still trying to get my head around! Much appreciated, Mike.
Welcome to lustria! Unlike 40k, AoS is a lot less about killing enemy units and a lot more about holding objectives. Your 3 best units to do so are only 10 models strong. So your list's current primary weakness is a lack of bodies. While the Troglodon is a beautiful model, it is over costed for what it does. Dropping the Trog to up the model count on Knights or Warriors would be a good use of those points.
Thanks LizardWizard - thats really useful to know. So i need more bodies on the ground - ditching the toglodon would let me take an additional 20 warriors and 5 knights... which definitely seems like a reasonable trade-off. You are right though, its a lovely looking model
