So, I just started Age of Sigmar, and thought I'd make my first army Seraphon. However, I'm not a particularly competitive player, and I wanted to put my own unique spin on things, so I figured I'd try running an all skink/dino army. Want to start at 2000 pts, and currently I have a box of skinks, two boxes of chameleon skinks, a box of terradon/ripperdactyl riders, a starpriest, a pair of skink chiefs, Oxyotl and Tehenhauin (Got the pair of em fully painted on the cheap from a friend), and a Troglodon. I have a good bit of cash ready to buy models though, so don't feel constrained to what I have. Was of a mind to buy a Starseer to run as Tetto'Ekko, since he seems quite useful, and a skink priest as well, but this is just my unenlightened opinion. Any advice is much appreciated.
Something like this: Leaders Skink Starseer (160) - Artefact: Phoenix Stone Skink Starpriest (100) - Artefact: Phoenix Stone Skink Chief (60) - General - Golden Sickle - Trait: Master of Defense - Artefact: Phoenix Stone Battleline 10 x Skinks (80) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (80) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (80) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers Units 5 x Chameleon Skinks (120) 3 x Ripperdactyl Riders (140) 3 x Kroxigor (180) - 1x Moonhammers Behemoths Bastiladon (300) Troglodon (200) Stegadon (260) Battalions Thunderquake Starhost (120) Shadowstrike Starhost (120) Total: 2000/2000 Or Leaders Skink Starseer (160) - Artefact: Phoenix Stone Skink Starpriest (100) - Artefact: Phoenix Stone Skink Chief (60) - General - Golden Sickle - Trait: Master of Defense - Artefact: Phoenix Stone Oxyotl (100) Skink Priest (100) - Priestly Trappings Battleline 10 x Skinks (80) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (80) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (80) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers Units 5 x Chameleon Skinks (120) 3 x Ripperdactyl Riders (140) Behemoths Bastiladon (300) Troglodon (200) Stegadon (260) Battalions Shadowstrike Starhost (120) Heavenswatch Starhost (100) Total: 2000/2000 Would work well witb what you have, and all have a skink keyword except for the Krox. Both fairly competitive and stompy.
Oh, thanks for the fast response. I quite like the second list, though the first one seems good as well. Out of curiosiy, would you say putting something on the chopping block to run the starseer as Tetto'Ekko would be worth it, or no?
Tetto'Eko and Starseer are the same, Tetto is just the old warscroll starseer is the updated version. I don't think there's much if any variation between the two.
The only real difference is the keywords Tetto'Eko and Starseer, whichmeans that you can't use Tetto'Eko in the Heavenswatch.
By the way, although I do love the Skink Chief I don't even try to build lists with him for tournaments since I thought that he is not legit anymore in "official" ones ? Is this right or ?
Sorry I didn't make the proper question ! I meant that since they stopped making the model they are planning to repeal him later on right ? *He has to be legal since there were even Sphinx taking part at the Grand Tournaments !
He is in the general's handbook under the compendium,and is still tournament legal. They might do a made to order, but hest bet is to mod one or get one off of Ebay or something.
This confused me as well, I didn't know where everyone was getting "Skink Chief" from, because I'm a brand new WHFB/AoS player -- will be interesting to see if he is kept in GH2.
