    so I have my start collecting. Basically everything is finished and presentable, however that leaves me with one question. Where do I build next? I currently poses a Saurus Oldblood on carnosaur, 10 warriors, 5 knights, a skink starpriest, and a skink oracle that may become another starpriest. So what do I build next?

    Here is a short list of things that pretty much every Seraphon player needs:
    • Slann Starmaster
    • Saurus Astrolith Bearer
    • Lots and lots and lots of Skinks

    Slann is definitely something I will look into, same with astrololith bearer

    But how good are skinks?

    Skinks fill several crucial roles in the meta:
    • Skinks are cheap battleline tax.
    • Skinks are able to tie up enemy units.
    • Skinks are excellent at screening enemy charges.
    • Skinks deal more damage per point than other Seraphon Troop Choices.
    • Skinks are Seraphon's optimal unit to take and hold objectives.

    So skinks seem like a must, what about another start collecting box as I found that awesome thread on how to get a bunch of stuff from it?

    Skinks I should be able to get fairly easily, nit as expensive as the sc box.

    Ask to your game store if they still have a box of Starclaw Strikehost (it's no more available online).

    It was a great deal, giving you a starpriest, a Basti, a trog / Carno, 6 terradons / rippers and 24 skinks.

    Great idea, problem is I don’t have $170 lying around, so it would take a LOoooooonnggg time for me to save for that.

    The point is: it's a good deal, but afaik it was an offer that was available just for a limited time (xmas?).
    So, if you don't have the money right now BUT your game store got one, it could be worth a try to ask if they can keep it away for you.
    Or find someone to share with you the purchase. :)

    Time to work to an insane extent get as much cash as possible then go to my local gamesworkshop, grovel at the feet of the guy there for a starclaw strike host, then get it. Or I could get my friend to help with it :D
    THEN I get a slaan starmaster

    If you want to shave $25 off the cost of the Strikehost, they are available on amazon for $145. I picked mine up from there when my FLGS didn't have the stikehost in stock.

    Seems legit. I could actually save for that, might be some time but it’s probable. Thanks for the tip!
