AoS Slow Grow army

[Hopeful_monster]

My FLGS is running a slow grow AoS league and rather than use my 40k nurgle daemons again I wanted to start a Seraphon army using a start collecting box and some other bits I've received in trades and bulk buys.
The first round is only 500pts, no behemoths, at least 1 hero and battle line, so planning on running a
Coalesced Koatl's Claw
Scar Vet on cold one- give him the CP farm command trait,

3 x 5 Saurus Knights. 1 with lances, 1 with clubs, not sure about the final one.

While basic this will reduce the number of things I'll need to remember and give me a solid core and bunch of synergies to work with. If I'm reading it right scar vet give +1 to hit, nat 6+ scores 2 hits.
Then 2 options either make it a firelance, or add in a skink star priest. Need to get the book before I can be sure.

So thoughts, comments or other ideas?

are you married to knights? if not i would run warriors instead that and a star priest with geminids

Knights could actually be pretty good, they hit very hard as they have seven attacks a model and deal good damage on the charge. They also do better as objective grabbers due to being faster

Not married to the idea, but definitely in bed with it as a squad of 5 knights gives up 35 attack were as the bog standard warrior gives only 30 for only ten points less. The firelance I'm not as committed to as I'm fuzzier on the benefits with the new codex. Drop that and I get the skink star priest and change.

true but your playing a slow grow campaign and knights will never get better while warriors get more attacks in 20 blocks and benefit from buffs better have more bodies for objectives and are required for the sun claw battalion

I think a mix of knights and warriors are good. Warriors for your objectives, Knights for theirs I would definitely take one of the Skink heroes to be your General.

most slow grows don't make you keep the same units, they just change the points limit slowly. he can switch out for warriors at higher points.

New list idea, based on feedback and Angel Killer's overview,

Heroes
Scar vet on CO (110pts)
Skink star priest (120pts)

Battle line
5 Saurus Knights with lances (100pts)
10 Saurus warriors with clubs (90pts)
10 Skinks with... spears n shields(?) (60pts)

Not sure on warlord,relics or spells yet

I recommend something like these two lists:

Seraphon
-Coalesced
-Koatl's Claw

Heroes:
Skink Priest (70)
-General
-Master of Star Rituals
-Artefact: Eviscerating Blade

Battleline:
10x Skinks (60)
-Blowpipes & Clubs
5x Saurus Knights (100)
-Lances

Units:
12x Salamander Hunting Pack (240)

Or

Seraphon
-Coalesced
-Koatl's Claw

Leaders:
Scar-Veteran on Cold One (110)
-General
-Command Trait: Dominant Predator
-Arefact: Eviscerating Blade

Battleline:
10x Saurus Knights (200)
-Lances
5x Saurus Knights (100)
-Blades

Units:
3x Terradon Riders (90)
-Sunleech Bolas

500/500

10 saurus knights in koatls claw is downright terrifying for its price

 

[Imrahil]

12x Salamander Hunting Pack (240)

Well of course

Grrr, Imrahil
