topic says it

#

So Seraphon generally focuses on the giant dinos (Thunder Lizard subfaction) or more heavily into the skinks/saurus, though both lists can mix and match

#

(Also as a warning they'll be getting a new book soon with updated rules! so take this with a grain of salt)

I don't really like skew

#

Can you expand on your theme lorekeep?

#

We can post lots of lists for you. But I’m not sure what you’re after

drowsy lotus
#

no idea what the theme would be. In 40k I do well rounded stuff. hitting you with a bit of everything.

#

usually have two or three anchor units, units that say "you come into range, you get slapped sideways" some throw away roaming units for objective grabbing or holding, then some elites to push forward.

#

that's how I play my imp guard at least.

rain escarp
#

I take it this will be your first time playing seraphon?

#

They are a rather complicated army to play for someone new to AoS

drowsy lotus
#

Gonna be told that's not how they play.

#

I like their OPR proxy models is the main reason want them.

rain escarp
#

Thunderlizards is likely the easier way to get into the army

#

durable, slightly less complicated

#

this is an older list. unfortunately it's no longer viable with the new points updates

#

but it should give you an idea of a basic thunderliz list

drowsy lotus
#

I know when I first tried to get into AoS faced seraphon as... forget what but I was just skeleton dudes.

#

Just a horde of skeletons.

rain escarp
#

to get it under points the quick way, swap Lord Kroak for a Slannstarmaster. Then you should be just about there.

drowsy lotus
#

He ran like 3 very very very tanky big dinos that all did a shit ton of magic. I could do nothing.

#

the fat toads look... meh to me. In terms of aesthetic

rain escarp
#

yeah this list has tanky dino's (Bastiladon) and magic (lord Kroak/Slann starmaster)

rain escarp
#

this list might give you a first place to start with. But keep in mind as Zalori mentioned, they have a new book coming out soonish.. and a lot might change

drowsy lotus
#

that kinda sucks if saying got to go with the fat toad guys

rain escarp
#

they are the "leaders" of the whole army/race

drowsy lotus
#

I like the... what they called? Crocidors or whatever. Big infantry guys

tulip obsidian
#

also they're some of the best casters in the game

drowsy lotus
#

I am not competetive

tulip obsidian
drowsy lotus
#

I was close

#

I know they aren't that good

tulip obsidian
#

yeah kroxigors atm aren't the best

#

i would say slaan are staple competitive or not

drowsy lotus
#

no idea what a slaan is.

rain escarp
#

Slann is a frog dude on a floating chair

drowsy lotus
#

gotcha.

rain escarp
#

you'll pretty much always have one in your list

drowsy lotus
#

hum.

#

Thought there were commanders of guys on T-rex's.

rain escarp
#

if you don't like frogs, look for a suitable proxy model

drowsy lotus
#

I also generally not too into magic.

#

A good amount of the time.

rain escarp
#

you can run Oldbloods/Scar-vet on Carnosaurs (t-rex's)

#

but it's a considerably weaker way to run the army then with slann magic

drowsy lotus
#

Tried ogres, their lore sadly kinda got dull too fast for me. I like the... storm something no idea why blanking with that name.

#

thundersomething

rain escarp
#

Stormcast Eternals

#

i need to run. good luck with you list!

weak pollen
#

i mean Jurrasic park is popular with bastilidons and Triceritops

drowsy lotus
#

yeah but said above not into skew. @weak pollen

weak pollen
#

You get a fair chunk of the model range you get sarus, Bastis, triceratops, skinks, and spank

#

Slann

#

The only models not run in it at all are like dread saurian but you could run it

Here's an example of another Thunder Lizard list...it runs a couple monsters but isn't that skew, it has all 4 types of units (Skinks, Dinos, Slaan, Saurus) to some variety

#

but as others have said, Seraphon has tons of options for their units
