#Excited to start my seraphon, but at the same time I'm worried I may want something else

That is broadly what Seraphon have. I copy-pasted all the 4-1 Seraphon lists from LVO if you're interested, but they have quite a variety that includes a lot of utility pieces and a decent number of Kroxigor, and they're almost all led by a Slann

I was mainly looking to do sunclaw/thunderquake stuff

#

And its good to hear slann are important, because I love their models

These are in rank order but they're all 4-1 so the rank is just how well they scored

That's probably the weirdest lists. Skinks are just kinda mediocre and there's not really any reason to take them when the Hunters are right there for the same cost

Fair enough!

I would temperate a bit expectation, seraphon is pretty much a one-trick army currently. We're looking at 1, 2 game 0lan overall.
Either use the new kroak and send a lot of mortal wound into the opponent while holding primaries.
Or just throw down the board big damaging units.

And that's pretty much all there is.
Krox are the main hammer unit, aggradon do less damage but with greater mobility, and raptadon do good damage for the point, and with good mobility for the cost of survivability.
Slann is only used to cast endless spells and resurrect unit.

And then you have hunter which are your tech piece, reducing charge rolls and deploying anywhere on the board.

To be totally fair, the army would allow for way more game styles and propose loads of warscroll. Unfortunately, they're currently mostly underwhelming, and the faction gameplay is pretty monoloythic

Instead of just being a very one trick army

#

Maybe I should consider playing something else

#

Competitivly, it's pretty tame, but there's room for different game plans. Currently, I would wait tho, it's pretty limited imo.
The good thing is, you still have unit variety, but yeah

#

To be fair, I would still suggesting starting the game with the facton you like the most, rules are temporary, not models

#

As much as I like dinosaurs, I don't think I'd wanna just have 5 temple guard, and raptadon chargers are the only things I can use

#

I would tell you what I like visually, but it's a but hard for me to describe, though I could show you

#

Krox and aggradons are most played as well but it's understandable, you can still look at what other factions can offer!

#

If aesthetic didn't sold you enough on Seraphon because of the gameplay, maybe look at faction you'd enjoy playing

I'm coming from 40k, and im a fan of the nids in there, so whatever is similar to them I suppose?
