Hi.

GREAT SERAPHON, LIZARDS OF THE STARS AND THE JUNGLES, PLEASE, I SUMMON THY ONCE AGAIN IN MY TIME OF NEED FOR I AM AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HORRIBLE AT MAKING LISTS

And also, I can't find the new points values anywhere. So anyway, I have a 500 points tournament tomorrow, I just got invited to it, and I wanted to know if you could give me an idea of what to pick. Because, even though I always feel bad and lame when I ask for a custom list made, there has always been some scaled angel, some badass incredible being giving me advise.

Honestly, I don't think any other faction has this. I'm sorry that I don't put the point value besides the stuff, but I couldn't find them anywhere for some reason... here's what I got:

Slann Starmaster
Astrolith Bearer
Oracle Skink on Troglodon
Oldblood on Carnosaur
Oldblood
Scar-vet on Cold One
Sunblood
2x Skink Starpriest
Skink Priest
Ripperdactyl or Terradon hero, if not using the unit

40x Saurus Warriors w/ spears
20x Saurus Warriors w/ blades
20x Skinks w/ blowguns

1x Razordon pack
3x Ripperdactyl Riders
3x Terradon Riders w/ bolas
1x Bastiladon w/ SE

Balewind Vortex


Maybe I'm pushing my luck, but if anyone answers this summon, idk, I'll owe you one
Mega excited for tomorrow! Thank you all for everything!
 
Points:
Slann 260
Astrolith bearer: 140
Oracle on Troglodon:260
Oldblood on Carnosaur:250
Oldblood: 120 or 140, I can’t recall precisely
Scar Veteran on Cold one: 100? May be 110
Sunblood is around 120
Starpriest for 120
warriors are 90 for ten, with a discount for 320 for 40 models
Razordons and Salamanders are 80
Terradons and Ripperdactyls are also around 80

so for your list I would do koatls claw coalesced as alliegence
For heroes do an oldblood (or sunblood) and starpriest (around 240?)
And then 2 units of 10 saurus warriors with clubs

You beautiful genius! That's basically exactly what I would have wanted, I'll deffinitely give it a go tomorrow! Thank you, brother

Good luck! But one more thing. What artifacts are you interested in?

edit: your probably going to want eviscerating blade on the Oldblood

Alright, I'll keep that in mind! I haven't looked at the artifacts still, tomorrow I'll take a look at the book and get ready for action. Thanks, buddy, you're awesome
 
ok so what you have so far is good
sunblood 130
starpriest 120
so 250 in heros
i wouldn't take minimum units of saurus you relay want the horde bonus so ablock of 20 is 180
that makes 430 do you have geminids or somthing that would proxy well? that would fit perfectly and is the best endless spell for us. failing that 10 skinks can block for your saurus letting them hit before they take to much damage.
subfactiong koatle would be best it determens your artifact but its a good one
tide of serpents as your star priests spell hard to cast but hit's like a truck

clubs and bolt spiters are the new best load out. the shields don't do enough to make them durable i would just go all out offensively play into our glass hammer nature

I wouldn’t say we are glass hammers, coalesced seraphon are fairly tough for their points cost, much better than they used to be

oh then what in our army can take damage? and no buffing them to high heavens doesn't count. we deal solid damage and we aren't ogres lvls of bad but we don't have a real anvil in the army.
so embrace it! lean into it! we are terrifying lizards that burn brightly and then go out.

Carnosaurs and a good chunk of a saurus stuff is fairly solid (for its price point). In general most of our monsters are fairly sturdy, but if your expecting Ossiarch levels of endurance, your looking in the wrong place. I’d say we are tougher then a decent chunk of armies, in particular our saurus

im not looking for mortec. im looking for sequaters or chaos warriors or eternal guard. something with a 3+ save. but i don't think our defense comes from saves i think it comes from mass debuffs hence why geminids is my go to and why i always have a starpriest

Temple guard can be similar to chaos warriors or liberators for a similar price, and they are pretty solid offensively. In general we went from 5+ to 4+. Another thing of note is we can burn cp or spells to reroll saves of 1.
 
Mind you I've no experience with AOS but I've a similar collection to yours that I'm converting from square to round base right now. The 500 point list I came up for myself, in my opinion, gives lots of options going forward:

Old blood
Skink Priest

20 Sarus spears and full command
10 Skinks blow pipes
Salamander

500 points total.

I think above allows you the flexibility to try out the different options of new book while not hamstringing you building up in points.

Again though my recommendation is only based on my own theory hammer with no aos 2.0 games under my belt.

How do you do that? And wouldn't a Razordon pack be better than skink? This is amazing, thank you both for this discussion!!

geminids has 2 models 1 drops hit rolls by 1 for every unit it passes over the other drops attacks by 1 unfotunatly the don't stack. the starpriest has a spell that also drops hit rolls by 1
