Anyone have an opinion on this list? I'm going to be learning the game using this list and mostly playing friendly matches. I'm going to proxy in my Warriors for Guard until I buy proper Guard and kitbash my own Astrolith Bearer. I have a metal Oldblood (going to proxy him for my Eternity Warden until the proper one arrives), 6 Saurus Knights, 20 Saurus Warriors, and a Skink Priest in addition to everything below. Allegiance: Seraphon Leaders Saurus Eternity Warden (140) Saurus Astrolith Bearer (160) Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (240) - Warblade Units 5 x Saurus Guard (100) 5 x Saurus Guard (100) 5 x Saurus Guard (100) Battalions Eternal Starhost (130) Total: 970 /1000 Allies: 0 / 200 Leaders: 3/4 Battlelines: 3 (2+) Behemoths: 1/2 Artillery: 0/2 Wounds: 40
I think that's a solid list for a friendly game. You have a huge monster and the Guard can take some punishment. Probably not the highest damage output but that's ok. You are learning the game so it is cool to see some different units and learn how to play them. You have no shooting though. So if you play, don't forget there is a shooting phase as well.
So I came up with these two lists. Decided to drop the Battalion because it felt sort of taxing at 1000 points. I've dubbed as a Defensive and the other as Combined Arms. Defensive List Allegiance: Order Leaders Saurus Eternity Warden (140) Saurus Astrolith Bearer (160) Saurus Oldblood (120) - Suntooth Maul Units 5 x Saurus Guard (100) 5 x Saurus Guard (100) 5 x Saurus Guard (100) Behemoths Bastiladon (280) Total: 1000 /1000 Allies: 0 / 200 Leaders: 3/4 Battlelines: 3 (2+) Behemoths: 1/2 Artillery: 0/2 Wounds: 43 Combined Arms Allegiance: Order Leaders Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (240) - General - Greatblade Saurus Astrolith Bearer (160) Units 20 x Saurus Warriors (200) -Spears 5 x Saurus Knights (100) -Lances Behemoths Bastiladon (280) Total: 980 /1000 Allies: 0 / 200 Leaders: 2/4 Battlelines: 2 (2+) Behemoths: 2/2 Artillery: 0/2 Wounds: 56
A fun list I put together and will probably run, since it's cheaper than getting a Bastiladon. It's a bit of a love letter to Bretonnia, my first Warhammer Fantasy love.
