This Seraphon box is undeniably a phenomenal deal for anyone looking to start a new Seraphon army. You're getting a great spread of models, and they're all the attractive new sculpts. What leaves me cold is that this isn't a great deal for anyone who already purchased the army box that came out earlier this year. Like you said, people don't need multiple Slanns. If the Slann had been a Stegadon or a Bastiladon instead? This would be one of the best boxes they've ever made.

Hey Mr. Caleb, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this, but I was wondering if you can help me with a bit of list building. I really want to start a Seraphon army but more like a meme army? I was thinking a Coalesced cavalry Seraphon army. Old Blood on Carnosaur Scar Vet on Aggradon 1x Reinforced Aggradon Lancers 2x Aggradon Lancers 1x Terradon Riders 2x Spawn of Chotec for Artillery memes Any thoughts on this per chance? I know it's not very balanced list as it's mostly cavalry, but it's the meme I kinda want to run even if I would get wiped off the board easily or not.
@CalebHastings10 ай бұрын
For sure! Aggradons are great overall units! I think I would add a Starseer to the list. Maybe kitbash one riding an Aggradon! The wizard is just VERY useful even in an Aggradon list. The Spells Heavenly Frenzy (run and charge), Hoarfrost, and Merciless Blizzard are all VERY clutch. Maybe a list something like this. One drop. Lots of movement. Allegiance: Seraphon - Constellation: Koatl's Claw - Grand Strategy: - Triumphs: Leaders Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur (260)* - General - Command Trait: Vengeful Defender - Artefact: Sotek's Gaze Saurus Scar-Veteran on Aggradon (160)* Skink Starseer (150)* - Spell: Heavenly Frenzy Battleline 6 x Aggradon Lancers (380)* - Reinforced x 1 6 x Aggradon Lancers (380)* - Reinforced x 1 6 x Aggradon Lancers (380)* - Reinforced x 1 Units 1 x Spawn of Chotec (120)* 3 x Terradon Riders (110)* - Sunleech Bolas Core Battalions *Battle Regiment Total: 1940 / 2000 Reinforced Units: 3 / 4 Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 136 Drops: 1 And you still have 60 points for an endless spell (swords? Pendulum?)

I want to like it, but i have the army box. I cant get behind having 2 Slann. Honestly inthinknif you have the army box, probably buying the vanguard box and then getting the Chameleon skinks and aggradons is actually a better deal. Would you agree with that?
@jakea395010 ай бұрын
Yeah or just skip the warcry. They usually are unpredictable units that'll only find a home in fangs or shoot lists in future. Id say vanguard, astro and seer are* all mega good buys. Or vanguard/sale and wait to see future box sets.

@jakea3950 I can see that reasoning. Vanguard will be my next Seraphon purchase in all likelihood cause that fills out what I'd want to take for a 1K army. Do that next year, and then perhaps the 2 characters, and at some point grab some Aggradons.

Id probs add a skink star priest. The serpant staff is good and another caster always helps. So if used with krox, you exploding 6's to hit can then get mortals on wounds of 6+. He should also be able to issue commands to the krox meaning they can be off on another flank or togeather. You can kit bash one from the skink priest that comes in your carno box. Youll get more value there dw about buying one. *or buy a skink star seer as that'll be a dual caster and you'llget more value out of your astrolith barer. That and 1x bolas will be exactly 2k. Id recommend over all those warcry guys. Terrawings are useless and bolas are meh or situational. Ofc having fun is the most important! Dont let my opinion spoil your list, just adding some options.

As someone who's been looking to take a break from 40k and maybe get into AoS, this box is a perfect set. Lizardmen are my favourite faction from TW: Warhammer and the new models look great. Easy choice. Would the vanguard box be a good supplement as well? The box already has the extra kroxigors and warriors, could the oldblood + carnosaur work as well? Could bastiladons or stegadons be a decent choice too?
@CalebHastings10 ай бұрын
Yep! Absolutely!! I really like a Stegadon in my Saurus armies right now. Helps score a battle tactic in the game that requires a Skink unit (the Stegadon has skinks on it) to capture an objective.

Hey everyone, looking for a bit of help. My son and I are taking the plunge to some casual AoS dadhammer. I have the StD launch box and the Seraphon army box. I’m wondering where to go to build some fun casual armies for us to stomp each other with. Thinking going saurus/aggredon heavy for rule of cool. How do I even start building two armies mostly balanced against each other?
@ax10510 ай бұрын
Without overthinking it, you could probably grab the holiday boxes (or the Vanguard boxes) for each of these factions and have some solid ~1500 point forces to run against each other casually. The Seraphon will probably be a bit better than the S2D, but the dice and turn order will even most of that out while you're learning to play.
@jakea395010 ай бұрын
Yeah id say for sure the vanguards. Thise army boxes go nicely with them. For example, two slann is abit of a waste unless you want two for hobby. Maybe in the distant future but right now with their spells you wont want all those. For the slaves 15 chosen seems excessive, 10 is excellent as a reinforced unit has more survivability. Maybe if you really want 6x bulls but i feel they will be in plenty of future bundles. Xmas boxes are more for people who missed out on army boxes or didn't want the battletome and data cards. Plus its your cheaper option and keeps the points closer between you and your sons forces.
@jakea395010 ай бұрын
At first glance thought the box was great but now not sure. Warcry warband feels like filler and maybe usless later. 6 krox seems like too many. 6 aggs yeah but krox are gonna be the new sharks, you gonna see em in every box. Plus for any army box two slann feels lke a waste. Haven't even seen the prices as battleforces are going up in price according to youtube. Hard pass, ill get a Vanguard on sale and wait for smaller boxes.
