Id say Skink start collecting is still quite great, Saurus start collecting is more or less a carnosaur (and troglodon if you do the famous conversion;) plus extra bits for conversions imo unless you desperately want and need more points and models regardless of aesthetic.
Dang it! Forgot about the Skink Start Collecting since I didn't run across it while searching for available models! But yes.... definitely worth buying it if you can find it!!
You can also make a oldblood or scar vet on foot with the extra parts plus the leaveover tail from carnosaur or trog or a astrolith bearer with leaveover oldblood/scar vet stuff + tail plus the standard from the cold one knigths
I'd personally hold off getting the Start Collecting set, unless you want to be stuck with a load of old Saurus Warriors and Knights. Doesn't seem to be much point in investing in old models, when the rest of the range will be released soon!
It’s not a bad buy still if find it around $85considering that’s what a Carnosaur costs itself off GW. Sell or trade in the knights and warriors for bigger discount or sell knights and keep warriors since they’re still useable. A box of new warriors will be ~$60 or little less right now with the eBay flood.
Coming back to AOS after a one year hiatus and ofcourse had to go with Seraphon for my new project... being solely a death player, I am highly excited to join my fellow Lizardmen!!!
Games workshop doesn't care and the community should just bin any concept of GW getting better...its been way too long since something actually worked in warhammer
Kroak is easily one of the top pick ups to expand. Going in with alreqdy having bought: the carnosaur start collecting, the skink start collecting, kroak, and that limited run thunder stampede box and a box of skinks. So aside from a astrolith bearer and maybe another slann i am going in great. Basicly waiting for the rest of new stuff
I really would just wait for the vanguard box if you can. Hopefully it isn’t just pieces of the army box. I’m hoping it comes with maybe an oldblood on foot with some warriors and kroxigor
I found the older saurian start collecting box at a local vintage shop for like 90 bucks canadian yesterday. Cost me less than the old blood/carnosaur kit by its self. Nabbed that just baised on the savings alone. Still have a box of skinks to. Just baised on the scale i think im gonna convert the cold one knights into the skink riders or proxy them as some until I decide to expand. Was given a whole bunch of old tomb kings and, chaos knoghts and vampire lords stuff as well. Gonna combine those as proxies for a soulblight gravelords army, and try to make two retro synthwave AoS armies (1000-1500 pts each) for as cheap as possible. Im in for 90$ for the sarus box and 20$ for the skinks. Everything else was given to me from friends who were just going to throw them away. Sure, a lot of the skeletons and zombies need some work, but im well over 1500 pts for the SBGL, And only out 110$ bucks for the lizard men. Off to a good start id say. Loot studios have some great stl files for vampires and werewolves to so plenty of options for proxies there as well. 😅
Found a web shop that sold both SC boxes for 60€ which was on the cheap end for the Saurus box and a steal for the Skink bundle. Only catch was they were out of stock with 4 week delivery. I was wondering if they’d cancel my order but the boxes came a couple of days ago. I'd probably order the Skink box again but the shop has since taken down both Start Collectings. :D
Hello Caleb. I follow your channel on seraphim .. I see that you propose us various and varied lists. Do you think that a list or more can be built with krox aggradons and monsters? Thank you for your answer ...
For sure! Maybe something like this: Coalesced - Koatl's Claw Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur - 285 - General - Command Trait: Vengeful Defender - Artifact: Blade of Realities Skink Starpriest - 130 - Spell: Heavenly Frenzy - Aspect of the Champions: Tunnel Master 9x Aggradon Lancers - 630 3x Aggradon Lancers - 210 3x Aggradon Lancers - 210 9x Kroxigor - 525 Battle Regiment 1990 points Carno, 9 Krox, and 9 Aggradons all move in hero phase AND move in movement. One unit will get run and charge from skink starpriest. Very fast and LOTS of melee damage!
I see Lizardmen are still stuck in the same corner they were 30 years ago....Games workshop is still disgusting and you shouldn't support them. I'm tired of the mini community giving companies like GW a pass for oh so much, including ruining points balance, removing playstyles for one army while creating multiple OP ones at the same time, consumer abuse with ruined orders and missing items, and the cherry on top GW blaming the older original community for all the issues in their products meanwhile the original community only held GW accountable.

I'd wait for the Vanguard box probably, see what's in it and then go from there.

I've just bought box too, last time I played was just before COVID so like march 2020?? Been awhile
great summary, really enjoyed the video!
I can't believe that they are keeping the Old Blood on Foot but not Eternity Warden or Sunblood

I was gonna ask for a video like this, thanks for making one. Now I just gotta find someone to play with.😅

Everything has sold out in the UK too
Great video brother. Thanks for all you do.
What's your take on where the 2 older flying units are sitting?

Nice find!!!
Due to base size, Knight are more of a proxy for Raptadons then Aggradons.
Yep, I've been toying with swapping out the Saurus Knight riders with some skinks and using them as Raptadons.
@@CalebHastings just use bigger bases and decorate the bases with skink running alongside or something
I'm waiting for the vanguard box. I also think they will make a battleforce box this christmas
I hope so!!
@@CalebHastings They have no reasons to not bundle up those awesome models!
Start collecting skinks?
Do you think they will release a vanguard box
Hello Caleb.
I follow your channel on seraphim ..

Thank you for your answer ...
For sure! Maybe something like this:
Coalesced - Koatl's Claw
Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur - 285
- General
- Command Trait: Vengeful Defender
- Artifact: Blade of Realities
Skink Starpriest - 130
- Spell: Heavenly Frenzy
- Aspect of the Champions: Tunnel Master
9x Aggradon Lancers - 630
3x Aggradon Lancers - 210
3x Aggradon Lancers - 210
9x Kroxigor - 525
Battle Regiment
1990 points
Carno, 9 Krox, and 9 Aggradons all move in hero phase AND move in movement. One unit will get run and charge from skink starpriest.
Very fast and LOTS of melee damage!
@@CalebHastings oh yesnot many figurines but very solid thank you 👍
