looks fun, lets optimize with one change, drop 5x knights for Starpriest so cogs and BVW can happen turn one.... also that -1 to be hit buff on gotrek lol

Starlight is good.
Without the priest you can still cast both the endless spells by t1 : Kroak goes for BWV and the Slann casts cogs. But yes, you would lose 1 spell slot.

so just 4 stegadons? the EotG list does that and i've tried 4 in a list but they get redundant

Need it be 4 EotG? No regular stegadons? I'm only bringing it up because I like the idea of maximizing the number of big dinos that you can have in a list just to have them run amok on the tabletop regardless of how impractical it would most likely be.

Sounds fun.

I've always played with the idea to field a "monster mash" dino lists and play the battle of Kursk...
 
How good are bastiladons, right? Super good. Good enough to take a whole bunch of them and laser anything on the other side of the board into dust.

iv actually done this to demonstrate the downside to summoning it was the most frustrating game my opponent ever played i surrounded his army intierly turn one with a 40 man blob and LoSaT and just shut down his movement for 5 turns never doing that again.

Thats less skinks than the other list :eek:

This actually looks really fun, and kind of makes the SC box look a bit better

yes the problem with nothing but skinks is the drops this is as many skinks as i can fit in a 1 drop. this army needs to go first so sacrifices where made there are still 150 of the buggers and if you go for the EotG starpriest build you can end up with close to 300

Would you recommend this list?
I like the shadowstrike lists I've been seeing, but it seems very 1-trick-pony, relying on the rippers

this one is also 1-trick-pony you are holding back the enemy army with the blood of your own men hence the name. it does not work against flying armies like night haunt, IDK or FEC but can handle combat armies like slanesh and orks very well and laughs at shooting armies. you will be sick of skinks by the end of painting but yes i think it's a good(comparatively) list the 90 skink one is the one i use it just takes a lot of practice.
 
Ok so my personal list is a little wacky, and could probably use some improvement.

ENDLESS SPELLS
Chronomantic Cogs (80)
Emerald Lifeswarm (50)
Balewind Vortex (40)

It focusses mainly on healing the big dinos - aswell as having some summon support and some cannon fodder.
Multiple priests make the reroll saves almost a guarantee, and the astrolith of course makes us hit better.
EDIT: Changed my useless saurus Guard for some Saurus knights which benefit more from the starpriest's venomous biting buff, aswell as having more health.
If I had the batallion, I'd go with 2+ rerollable save guards, but I realize I just don't need them if I'm going to use the bastiladons as "Cow wall" anyway

I use "Great rememberer" to teleport the bastiladons in, snipe, and back for heals (early game) and to port the astrolith and carnosaur in (lategame) to spawn a load of flanking razordons and to (theoretically) wipe an entire unit when they charge into the carno by sinking all the command points in.
(or if I don't see the need for assassinations, it's just a battle where I reinforce myself with whatever I'd need)
Good to note is a balewind stops you from moving, but not with LoSaT, so that's fun.

Seraphon doesn't really heal super well (Compared to death) so I decided "what if the unkillable dinos also got healed?"
This is my 4th iteration of... losing to nighthaunt again and repeating - feel free to suggest anything!

May Sotek guide you :p

Idk how to insert a quote...
Thing is - I needed something strong to sink command points into, and I'm not such a fan of the engine's chonky model (So I'd probably slap the engine ring onto a carnosaur & replace the saurus with some skinks anyways and call it a conversion) and the priests for razors, like.. 2 models total?
and then does only that batallion reroll saves/wounds/heal? cause I'm not sure about it...
