AoS I just had my first real match as Seraphon, against Chaos. I destroyed him, and then we had a talk

I don't think you can include "Celestial Hurricanum" and "Casual" in the same list.

Hurricanum is awesome and everything, but force wide multiplier buffs and mortal wound spamming every turn is certainly the way you table somebody in a casual game.
True, though I thought having a weaker frontline (warriors instead of guards) might be less frustrating to them. Plus it is a good model to counter hellcanons and the like.

Though seeing as the guy didn't play casual with his hellcanon, I suppose it's better not to do the same.

Btw, do you think I should drop out guards?
 
The be honest the whole point was to be more casual.
The easiest way to play like a casual is to just throw units in until your points full ip, and not worry about tactics.

I personally can't stand that style of play. Basically we're designing a highly synergistic super aggressive sauras list with a plethora of targets instead of a defensive unkillable blob.

Anyways with that in mind, here is a 'more casual' version of a sauras list, but it's clearly been drawn up by a bunch of Seraphon tacticians, rather than just some dude who just got done painting i.e. a casual player.
-------------
Can try something like this:

Leaders
Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur (320)
- Artefact: Phoenix Stone
Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (260)
Saurus Scar-Veteran on Cold One (100)
Saurus Sunblood (120)
Slann Starmaster (260)
- General
- Trait: Reckless
- Artefact: Talisman of Blinding Light

Units
Saurus Warriors x 40 (400)
- Spear
Saurus Knights x 5 (120)
- Lance
Saurus Knights x 5 (120)
- Lance

Behemoths
Troglodon (200)

Batallions
Bloodclaw Starhost (100)

Total: 2000/2000

Carnosaur, Carnosaur, Troglodon all charge up left flank. Troglodon+OldBlood shoots at enemy wizards. (Slann Arcane Bolts same target via: Channeling through Trog.

Knights, Knights, Scarvet on Knight charges up right flank.

Saurus warriors, Sauras Warriors, Sunblood, Slann MARCH up middle. Flying over terrain.
(Reposition this slightly if you need. Knights/Monsters can't fly most likely cuz they're faster than Slann most of the game. Sauruas warriors can take the "WORST" path terrain wise, cuz they just fly over it and ignore it.

Position warriors something like this:
12345678901
12345678901
123SlannSunblood4567
12345678901

Knights probably like this:
__1234ScarVet56
7890__
Let the ScarVet get his hits in, but don't sacrifice him. Only let 1-3 models touch his base. Hopefully less.
Dont stick him on the side though or they will pile in around him.
Your pile ins look like this
1_X_X_X_X_X_6
7_2_3_4_SV_5_0
_8__________9

Carno/Carno/Trog
That's super dependent. But make it so when enemy piles in it looks something like this:

X_X_X_X_X_X_X_X_X
X_[Scar]_[Old]_[Trog]_X

Angle slightly if you need. Trog/Old get ranged attacks, so make sure they're in a range to do that. Once they're stuck fighting they'll be there a while.

Sunblood and Slann are unchargeable. Enemy has to choose what to shoot at.
Groups of fast Knights? Their leader?
Fast Carno/Carno/Trog?
Giant very killy warrior squad?
Force Multiplier Slann?
Force Multiplier Sunblood?

Another minor tactic, is to use melee units' 1" attacks first. If you use your 2" attacks first and kill a significant amount (say like 30% of enemy squad) then if they're smart, they'll just pull all the units within 1" and leave you with nothing to hit. They get to pile in regardless so no loss for them. (This can backfire if you actually do well with jaws (UNLIKELY) and kill too much making your spears worse, if your opponent does the same tactic removing the models in base-to-base.) It would stop your 2nd rank of spear soldiers from hitting.

Starpriest is wonderful and has fun abilities, but you're sortof looking at a more casual list. Trog is fun and not our best unit, so have some fun with him :)
Plus Trog finally has the use of letting Slann channel through him to cast long range Mystic Shields and Arcane bolts at enemy wizard.

Wow guys did we do it? Did we tactics right?

I've talking things through with my little brother, and we got inspired by your army :)

We prefer to make one big formation (that's cooler, more army and order like, since they are order Daemons), and therefor we will take the Eternity warden and 2 units of 5 guards instead of the scar vet on cold one and Cavalry.

The idea is that the eternity warden will join the front line along with his 10 guards, and spread a bit so they will take the brunt (with mythic shield cast from the Slann on the Eternity Warden) of the attacks. Behind them, at 1" difference there will be two rows of Saurus warriors with spears, and the 3 Dino's with their 2" reach attacks. So that the enemy can't attack them and weaken them. This means the warriors can't use their bite attacks though.

The next turn the guards will likely fall, but then my warriors can pile in and follow the next line of attack, with our dino's behind them. With the Trog and oldblood on carnosaur being able to take out high priority units. And my Slann will allow rerolls on saves against ranged attackers!

Bloodclaw Starhost= 100
Oldblood on Carnosaur= 320
- Artefact: Phoenix Stone
Scar Veteran on Carnosaur= 260
-Artifact: item that increases damage of one weapon by 1: So Spear, 2", 6 attacks now 2 damage each.
Eternity Warden= 140
Sunblood= 120
Unit of 40 Saurus Warriors= 400
Unit of 5 Saurus guards= 100
Unit of 5 Saurus guards= 100

Troglodon= 200
Slann Starmage (general)= 260
- General
- Trait: Reckless

How does that sound? :)
 
Oh, and I just commissioned a friend to make a comic about the event :) She proposed making it after I told her the story, and I'm using this opportunity to support her as an artist and get some nice comics in return. Once she made all the pages, I could upload them here for anyone who is interested :)

Would definitely enjoy that!
