So I had my first game with my Seraphon tonight. I used -
Slann (General) - Command Trait - Arcane Might
Oldblood on Carnosaur - Artefact - Coronal Shield
Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur (Warblade & Shield)- Artefact - Blade of Realities
Skink Starpriest
40 Skinks - Spitters & Clubs
20 Saurus - Celestite Spears
5 Saurus Knights - Celestite Spears
5 Saurus Knights - Celestite Spears
5 Saurus Knights - Celestite Spears
Bastiladon - Lazer beam
Batallion - Firelance Starhost.
Played against my friends death army, he was using the ghosts and had a Wight, 2 Banshees, 2 Wraiths, 2 x 6 Spirit Hosts, 1 x 3 Spirit hosts, 2 Mournghuls. We rolled the Starstrike mission, I let him go first and turn 1 my Slann sent my Skinks off through his Master of Space and time battle trait. They got given Inspiring presence & Summon starlight and killed 3 Spirit hosts. Then a whole ton of gak came through the ground and it all got mega involved! I ended up winning 10-5 on scenario as my friend commited heavily to each flank and I was dominating the middle of the table and the objectives all landed in the middle!
I had a total blast of a game and can't wait to play the next.

That's great you had a blast. I loved my first game as well.

Agies Grimm:The "Learn to play, bro" mentality is mostly just a way for someone to try to shame you by implying that their metaphorical nerd-wiener is bigger than yours. Which, ironically, I think nerds do even more vehemently than jocks.
Everything is made up and the points don't matter. 40K or Who's Line is it Anyway?

Nice!
That's a nasty death army too with even Mournghuls to watch out for.
Great job and I hope your future battles for the glory of the Slann goes just as well.

Just need to be careful with target priority as they Blood Knights can be returned 1 per turn. If I'm going to kill them I need to nuke them from orbit to stop there attrition shennigans

Blood Knights are really only scary on the charge. Put something disposable in front of them, and then make sure to keep them tied up the rest of the game.
