Hello everyone ! I'm very new to the game, I haven't played Warhammer at all before, also at a very fresh community that is filled with people who hasn't played before. I'm looking to start with the Seraphons.

It seems that my community will aim to hold tournaments at 1000 pts for a start.

From my Start Collecting Seraphon box, what other units should I be looking into to build a decent 1000 pt army ? At the moment the book and the stats seem like gibberish to me so I don't really know which one is good or suitable with the start collecting box.

Thank you very much ! I'm looking forward to be a regular at the game :D

Well with the start collecting box, it you get creative you can make
From the Carno/Trog portion
Oldblood on Carnosaur
Oldblood on foot
Skink priest/Starpriest

You could make 5 knights and 2 scar vets on cold ones.
A few modifications to make them stand out, maybe the leftover head (I think there are 3) from the Carnosaur kit. Some feathers and other bits, whatever to make them stand out.

Next I would buy
Razordons or salamanders.
And when in the budget guard/more warriors.

If you find yourself upping the point value
I recommend Sunblood and Eternity Warden. At 1500-2000 points you could do a Bloodclaw starhost.

Here's a quick example 1000 army that is mostly from the get started box with a few conversions:

Leaders
Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (260)
- General
Saurus Scar-Veteran on Cold One (100)
Saurus Oldblood (100)
- Suntooth Maul
Skink Starpriest (100)

Units
Saurus Knights x 5 (120)
- Blade
Saurus Warriors x 10 (100)
- Club
Saurus Guard x 5 (100) (sold separately)
Razordons x 2 (120) (sold separately)

Total: 1000/1000
 
In this situation two or three start collectings and a few heroes to buff with will be very scary. Triple carno kill squad with a blob a warriors to tie up enemy heroes and knights to cap objectives seems pretty solid. For this kind of list i would take:

1000 points:
General: scar vet on carno:260

Battleline:
20 warriors: 200
Ten knights: 240
Ten knights: 240

I know that there is no magic in this first list, but the speed and damage output of it is insane. A squishy starpriest seems to not fit in in my oppinion.

If you want to go knight heavy maybe this:
General: Scar vet on carno: 260
Hero: skink starpriest: 160

Battline:
5 knights:120
5 knights:120
10 knights:240
10 warriors:100

This one is pretty simple, kinghts and carno attacking, warriors staying back and guarding starseer.

These both require quite a bit of stuff though, so maybe change the lists to make them starter friendly.

Thank you for replying ! Unfortunately you lost me there at conversions. Is it legal to customise figures in Warhammer AoS ? To make them look and function as a different unit altogether ?

Thank you for the reply ! So this means the simplest way for me to upgrade is just buy another start collecting box ?

And where can one get the point value of each unit ? Because I don't seem to be able to find them anywhere. Thanks !
 
Battlescribe has the points. That is what i use.

Extra start collectings are great, and you can probably convert your own saurus heroes. I converted my astrolith from that. I think most places will allow conversions though.
 
Hello ! I'm back.

I've been assembling my models and thought about the conversions.

Frankly I can see how converting into a Scar Veteran on a cold one will work, but a Skink Starpriest seems to be way over my head at the moment.

Im not sure how to build skinks while all I have is a bunch of burly muscular Saurus.

The carosaur kit comes as a dual build carno and trog. If you build the carno, you should have the trog rider (Skink oracle) parts left over to build the skink.

Ah thank you !

After looking at the Battletome for the Seraphons, I think i pretty much fancy a Firelance Starhost list. What's the best way for me to get to that on 1000pts ? Thank you so much !
 
I might do something like this:
Leaders
Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (260)
Skink Starpriest (100)
Saurus Scar-Veteran on Cold One (100)

Units
Saurus Knights x 5 (120)
- Blade
Saurus Knights x 5 (120)
- Blade
Saurus Knights x 5 (120)
- Blade
Chameleon Skinks x 5 (120)

Behemoths

War Machines

Batallions
Freelance Starhost (60)

Total: 1000/1000

Or:
Leaders
Skink Starpriest (100)
Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (260)

Units
Saurus Knights x 5 (120)
- Blade
Saurus Knights x 5 (120)
- Blade
Saurus Knights x 5 (120)
- Blade
Salamanders x 3 (180)
Skink Handlers x 3 (40)

Behemoths

War Machines

Batallions
Freelance Starhost (60)

Total: 1000/1000
Depending on what models you have available. If just the starter box and an extra box of knights then:
Leaders
Skink Starpriest (100)
Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (260)
Saurus Scar-Veteran on Cold One (100)

Units
Saurus Knights x 10 (240)
- Blade
Saurus Knights x 5 (120)
- Blade
Saurus Knights x 5 (120)
- Blade

Behemoths

War Machines

Batallions
Freelance Starhost (60)

Total: 1000/1000
 
So assuming i have a start collecting box and a Saurus Knights box, wouldn't that put me at 16 knights total ? Your list has 20 so I think I might be missing something here, lol

And as the weapon choices, why blade ? I thought that the point of the Firelance Starhost is to double up on those 6 to wounds, am i right ?
 
Oops! Bad math and forgot to change the equipment type on the knights. Yes lances not blades. So 120 points left over. Get the chameleons! Haha!
