Hello fellow Lustrians! With some time during the Christmas break on my hands, I managed to dust my Seraphon army and provided some love and attention (mostly with glue) to bring them back in shape. I do have a pile of shame of still to build models, which turn out to be 1 Start Collecting! Seraphon Box and 1 Christmas Battleforce (Starclaw Strikehost). As I haven't been playing much since our new battletome arrived, I was hoping for some ideas and suggestions on how and what to build out of the two boxes, plus any glaring gaps I should be filling in order to realise current viable army lists (we mostly play 2k lists). I would love to be able to field many of our army varieties: skink focused, saurus focused, saurus knight focused, Thunder Lizard / Dino heavy My current (already built) list of models includes: Heroes Lord Kroak 320 Pts Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur 230 Pts Saurus Oldblood on Foot (Old Metal Version, often used as Sunblood) 110 Pts Scar-Veteran on Cold One #1 110 Pts Scar-Veteran on Cold One #2 110 Pts Saurus Eternity Warden 110 Pts Skink Starpriest 120 Pts Skink Priest #1 70 Pts Skink Priest #2 (build from Troglodon) 70 Pts Terradon Chief (old metal Tiktak'to) 70 Pts Engine of the Gods 260 Pts Battleline 25 Saurus Warriors with spears 180 Pts 11 Saurus Warriors with clubs: 90 Pts 20 Saurus Guard: 400 Pts 40 Skinks with blowpipes and dagger: 240 Pts 15 Skinks withjavelin and shield: 60 Pts 8 Saurus Knights with spears: 100 Pts Behemoth Stegadon with giant bow: 240 Pts Bastiladon #1 with laser: 220 Pts Bastiladon #2 with laser: 220 Pts Artillery 2 Salamanders: 220 Pts Other 3 Terradon Riders: 90 Pts 5 Chameleon Skinks: 90 Pts 3 Kroxigor: 140 Pts Realmshaper Engine Endless Spells Based on this list, I am struggling to decide on what to build of out the boxes: Start Collecting: Scar-Vet on Carnosaurus + 3rd Priest or a Troglodon? 10 Saurus Warriors: Spears or Clubs? 8 Saurus Knights: Spears or Swords? Battleforce: Bastiladon #3: With Arc of Sotec or another Laser? Flying dinos (adding to the existing 3 Terradon): 3 Terradon and 3 Ripperdactyl? Or 6 Terradons? Any reason to go for 6 Ripperdactyls? 24 skinks (adding to the 55 existing): All of them with Blowpipes and dagger? Or rather blowpipes and shields? Or go for 60 skinks with blowpipes and 20 with javelins? Finally, if you had a moderate budget to spend to round out the army, which additional units would you go for? Some ideas I have are: Slann in addition to Kroak Astrolith Bearer Skink Chief on Stegadon Additional Saurus warriors to be able to field 2 blocks of 40? Additional Skinks to be able to field 2 blocks of 40? Additional Saurus knights to be able to field 3 blocks of 10? Lower priority / other gaps: Additional Salamanders Skink Starseer Stegadon with firethrower Razordons 3 additional Krox Sunblood Additional carno / Troglodon (depending on how I build the still available option from the SC box) Sorry for this quite long post (I hopefully put it in the correct subforum at least), but I would be really happy for any inputs from fellow Seraphon players! Thanks guys and a Happy New Year to everyone! BR Chrisle
A few random thoughts from someone who paints much more than I play: Carnosaur because big dinosaur Terradons get better in bigger units, so more of those? At least 5 more Saurus warriors with spears to get your unit up to 30 models Skink Chief on Stegadon will be really good for a TL list More skinks are always handy
