AoS Is Seraphon fun to play?

[IANG]

Hi all, just looked in my old boxes and found some old lizardmen models from the 90s some outdated some perfectly fine...

I got a FEC army but it's somewhat one dimensional to play.

So I am looking for a fun army to play.I am currently debating going with seraphon or Legion of Sacrament because I got some models of each.. and both can be magic heavy.. but what will be most fun to play in the long run.

Welcome to Lustria. Obviously Seraphon is the better choice

Well with the FEC play style it's agressive all the time... I would love to try something different.. maby magic heavy or movement schanagins... What makes seraphon fun to play and why do you keep playing them

I feel like LoSaT + Skinks shenanigans alone makes this army really enjoyable to play. Started three months ago, almost finished with my 2k army. Played six 1k games so far, great fun. Can't wait for 2k.

Seraphon are masters of positioning play we don't kill a whole lot but we can have troops egsaclty where we need them when we need them and our skinks dance circles around normal troops. i like them becouse of donosaurs but the mind games help

well single if you don't have a slann double if you do but yes teleports for days

Correct.

In terms of playstyle Seraphon play the actual game. We aren't super killy or resilient. We play the objective game.

 

[IANG]

Yeah seraphon, is probably the army for me... It was also my first army back in the 90s
And almost got my paint scheme figured out

Hmm... With skink re summons we can be resilient right

 

[Erta Wanderer]

ehhhh we won't run out of bodies but those bodies will die to everything if you aren't careful

 

[IANG]

It's sounds like fun.. and tough witch is fine

 

[Aginor]

Ooooohhh! That's an awesome Skink!

I think both Legions of Nagash and Seraphon can be quite fun to play, Seraphon being a bit harder but more rewarding.

 

[GuaDan]

Would you like an army that moves more than 4''?

Yes? Rewarding how?

 

[IANG]

There's plenty of ways to make LoN move fast.

 

[Aginor]

Yes? Rewarding how?

When you outmaneuver your opponent, bait him into a corner only to teleport out in the last moment, or suddenly summon a Skink screen or Carnosaur that flanks him, that just feels good.

Also: bragging rights because Seraphon have an outdated Battletome and literally none of our units is really strong. So if you succeed against a top tier army it is very likely that the decisive factor was you, the player.
