    With the 2nd game approaching (22nd) there has been a limit removed in the league. They currently sit here.

    300 points week 2
    Battleline
    : 1 minimum
    Hero: 1 minimum, 2 maximum
    Artilary: 0 maximum
    Behemoth: 0 maximum
    No single model over 200pts

    With this, I've decided to try something ive not done before, and the store allows. Using allies from Lizardmen.

    So my list looks as such:

    Heros:
    Skink Starpriest (General)
    - Master of Star Rituals
    - Claws of Glory

    Skink Cheif (Ally)
    - Gryph Feather Charm

    Battleline:
    Saurus Knights ×5
    - Lances
    Saurus Knights ×5
    - Lances

    What I'm planning to try and do with this list is to have the knights chew through my opponents after being buffed with both claws of glory and the serpant staff. While the Skink Chief runs off to claim objectives or act as support/attack sink, after being hit with summon starlight. Making him -2 to hit after the artifact is added in.
    One thing I'm not sure about still is if I should have the 2 groups of knights or 1 big group of 10.
    Any tips and advice would be appreciated!
    Possible armies I'll be facing are:
    Blades of Khorne
    Orruk Warclans (Iron Jawz)
    Sylvaneth
    Stormcast Eternals

    I would take a single unit of 10. You will get more out of Serpent's Staff and you will not be faced with the choice of which unit to fight with first.

    Just got home from the League. Went 2-1. Felt good, the Skink Chief was totally worth it!

    Is the Skink Chief still a viable model in AoS?

    The Skink Chief is not a legal ally for Seraphon atm. It does e still have a legacy warscroll that is usable though. The unit just lacks the Seraphon Keyword, and our only ally option is Stormcast eternals.

    My understanding is that this particular escalation league allows the use of Lizermen keyword units as Seraphon allies.

    I mean for 60pts, it's alright. But it did 1 wound in 3 games. Died to anything that fought it first turn.
    BUT
    Dropping him in melee against ranged units (in my case a celestar balista) made it worth while. In any case, I'd rather have him over a single command point.

    You would be 100% correct in this assumption LizardWizard. I'm good with the owners of the store and everyone is really chill about it. Also, they find it cool that there is a 60 point hero model, that has officially now been turned into my Starpriest's son.
    Because all of us are memelords

    Cool, the old skink chief with the golden helmet is one of my favorite models of all time. I wish they updated its warscroll and made it available to Seraphon. In the beginning of aos it used to have a really good command ability, sadly it got removed. It gave a SKINK unit +1 to hit if i remember correctly. So it could be used on bastiladons and stegadons etc. Back then only the general could use command abilities so it rarely got used, but still a good ability nonetheless.
