    There is a tournament at the end of February that I would like to attend. I am assuming the new book will not come out before the event, so this will probably be my last outting with the current version of seraphon. My meta has recently been a lot of chaos and obr. In such a chaos driven meta, what kind of list would you recommend?

    ok so we currently have 1 big threats and 3 miner threats the first being tzeench (although this may change) the rest being in order STD HoS and khorn. the firts problem is by far the hardest tzeench can deal 80+ damage a turn after saves thats devastating nothing in any army can stand up to that let alone us not bastiladons not even mass skinks. on top of that they are perniciously hard to kill with their horrors and can teleport just as well as we can. to be honest i don't know how seraphon can deal with conflagration. ranged counter punching mainly.
    as for the rest StD is a troll army you can't charge them but they auto charge 8" they also have good magic do your best to kill the deamond prince and screen well
    khorn hits hard but has restricted movement i would take chameleons to lock their heroes in place so their troops can't move or they will lose there buffs
    slanesh has been hobbled take skinks to tarpit the keepers and ranged units to kill there non hero troops they can't win if they don't have bodies and if you don't hit the heros they cant get depravity
    over all i would take a skink heavy tunderquake protect the bastiladons(wow that was a weird thing to say) and snipe exalted flamers.

    Thunderquake with Bastiladons if you think there will be many daemons

    Yep, that's it. Slann with Astrolith bearer, Thunderquake with double Basti and EotG. And screens.

    Pretty expensive but it's currently our best tool to deal with daemons.

    Ok cool. So I’ll work on taking standard thunderquake with eotg, 2 bastilidons, and 3 razor dons with handlers. Cloak and amulet in the slann and eotg respectively. Balewind and cogs. Standard stuff. What endless spells do you find useful at the moment? I’m thinking swords maybe, but I’m not really sure what would be the most useful.

    Palisade and Shackles are good for holding down the fort and protecting your heroes.

    Yep, against Chaos swords is a cheap and strong choice.

    So I have balewind cogs swords and room for 1 more spell or a 4th unit of skinks. Pretty much trying to decide between pendulum or geminids. Pendulum is nice for morathi, but geminids seems pretty good as well.

    which do you think would be better against tzeentxh?
