Looking to develop some focused Seraphon Matched Play lists.

1000, 1500, and 2000 pt lists.

I'll post some samples but I'd love to hear suggestions and C&C from those with more experience than me.

The focus of the lists is to take advantage of the powerful but defensive Eternal Starhost and the very strong shooting monster, Bastiliadon.

1000

1500

2000 Version 1 -3 Bastiladon
http://bit.ly/2bqOvz9


2000 Version 2 -3 Bastiladon
http://bit.ly/2bqPwqM


2000 Version 3 -3 Bastiladon
http://bit.ly/2bqPwqM


2000 Version 4 -2 Bastiladon
http://bit.ly/2bcO3ph


2000 Version 5 -2 Bastiliadon + Kroak
http://bit.ly/2bcOvnn


2000 Version 6 - Thunderquake + Eternal Starhost w/o Slaan
http://bit.ly/2bcQbNQ
And Finally, I really wanted to figure out a way to use the Thunderquake Starhost WITH Eternal Starhost. Unlikely to fit in the Slaan for extra control over the Engine though.


2000 Version 7 - Thunderquake + Eternal w/Slaan

There's no reason NOT to take Chameleon Skinks in groups of 5. There aren't "slot" limits, and having more units means, if needed they can secure two totally different objectives, and also get their cover save buff much more easily.

I like your 1000pt list a lot, but can suggest the those Skink filler points become Salamanders instead. Without handlers they're 40pts a pop, and can be a surprising distraction. People either throw more fire at them then they should because they're worried about the prospect of their burning damage, or they ignore them and get surprised by it. Don't expect a ton out of them, but they'll do a hell of a lot more work than vanilla Skinks will. :-p

At 2000pts, I would say that you're investing so deeply into Saurus that you might actually want to bolster a couple of those units to 10-man. My wife sometimes runs two units of 10, and one of 5, plus the formation bonus, to create total ownership of the middle table. Nothing will shift them so you can expect, and worst, to draw on objectives that you can't outright take. :-p

Also, while not as strong as he once was, Lord Kroak behind a wall of Saurus Guard can be hilarious.

OP was updated to fix list issues.

Also relisted the Cham Skinks as groups of 5 not 10. Although multiple groups of 5 was my original intent.

Added lists with ~25 Saurus Guard.

Added Lists with Engine of the Gods.

I would love to play Eternal + Thunderquake, with Kroxigor & Kroak, but that sounds like it would be more of a 2500 style list.

Well what does everyone think?

Honestly, even though it is a very, very, fun unit that can do cool things once in a blue moon, the Engine of the Gods is generally a poor use of points. Its contribution is so unpredictable, and even when it is working well, it isn't offering anything the Bastiladons aren't already doing better.
