AoS Need help building an army

Hi all, i'm new to age of sigmar and i have gone for the seraphon. I've got the start collecting box to which I've made the saurus old blood on carno, the knights have an alpha knight, war drum, and stardrake icon bearer, then 5 knights with celestite blades ( I thought they would be a safer option due to the 3+ hit ). Then i have the warriors with the Alpha, icon, wardrum, and the rest have clubs. From here i am not too sure what to get, i'm not on a limited budget as ill build over time, however i was thinking a point limit of 1500 - 2000. The terradons look cool, and so do all the behemoths, from what i know the bastiladon is a gem but i'm pretty clueless to be honest. Please help, many thanks

 

As you bought Start collecting box and made Oldblood on Carnosaur.

Let's start from this point.

Best battalion that can build base on stuffs you have IMO is Bloodclaw Starhost.

It's all about stacking command abilities so you should max out your leader slot with Saurus Heroes and set Oldblood on Carnosaur as General

Bloodclaw Starhost consist of

1 Saurus Oldblood
3 Saurus Heroes in any combination
3-9 units of Saurus Warrios, Guard, or Knights

Abilities
+1 to all jaw and shield attacks.
Heroes in the Starhost can use their command ability provided they are within 20" of the Oldblood.

With only one start collecting box is not enough to build this battalion since it's required 3 units of Saurus.

So I would recommend you to buy another Start collecting box and 1 Knight box and make Carnosaur into Scar-vet, 4 Scar-vet on Coldone.

You will have

1 Oldblood on Carnosaur
1 Scarvet on Carnosaur
4 Scarvet on Coldone
20 Knights
24 Warriors

Now you can make Solid list like this for just 85+85+35 = 205$

Allegiance: Order
Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur (320)
Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (260)
- Warblade
Saurus Scar-Veteran on Cold One (100)
Saurus Scar-Veteran on Cold One (100)
Saurus Scar-Veteran on Cold One (100)
Saurus Scar-Veteran on Cold One (100)
20 x Saurus Knights (480)
- Blades
10 x Saurus Warriors (100)
- Clubs
10 x Saurus Warriors (100)
- Clubs
Bloodclaw Starhost (100)

Total: 1760/2000

And for rest of points you may use it into whatever model you like maybe reduce Knight into 15 and add Balistadon or Slann.

Hope this will help.

 

This is a very good suggestion as it will be really low on budget and there is some pure synergy down this list A Bastiladon is always gold but 300p won't fit to the list suggested. Slann wouldn't be of any help at this particular list in my opinion as he can be useful but only if you build a list around him and this list is a skink oriented list.
I would go for 2 x5 chameleon skinks which are one - if not the most - mobile / useful units of our army. ( you can also check my battle reports at the battlereport section to see some of their action ) !

 

Thanks guys! that really helps me get an idea around it! So just curious are the Kroxigor and ripperdactyls good? they look cool but not sure how theyd fit in
