Starting Seraphon Army

[foggy cave]

Hey guys! I play mostly 40k/killteam (Imperial Guard), now me and a friend of mine want to start playing AoS (and maybe Old World).

I love the Seraphon, lizardmen riding dino is dope asf! And I loved painting their Bloodbowl team. 🏈

I was thinking on getting a Battleforce box: seraphon primordial starhost. Is it a good place to start? What are some box/models that go well with this battleforce?

I love the engine of the gods model and the skinks riding Raptadons, so I will probably get some of them. As a Imperial Guard player I also love the idea of lots of infantry be it saurus or skinks.

Any suggestions, videos/tutorials to recommend or any other thing are greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

If anyone can love the idea of a horde of tiny skinks for an army, it would be a guard player. I assume that you don’t mind painting all of them then.

In the current season, seraphim are pretty strong because of all the magic that they wield, and how their summoning is tied to them pulling off those spells. The battle host is a great way to start if you’re looking for that sort of magical experience.

In 2023 I painted 100+ guards plus tanks, I really don't mind painting 😂

And I found Lizardmen easy to paint with contrast/speed paint.

I will probably get the Battle Host box and the Vanguard Box 🦎 and about 20/30 more skinks

I also like the idea of a big model like a Bastiladon or Stegadon, do you recommend either of these?

I don’t play seraphon, but I bought their old start collecting box and the celestial stampede a while ago. That’s 4 and maybe 5 big dinosaurs if you’re ready to kitbash.

I’m excited to try them this year. Will report when I do lol
