Introduction
Seraphon are Age of Sigmar's ancient Lizardmen, created by the mysterious Old Ones and guided by the will of the wise Slann Mage-Priests. They are one of the most unique and iconic armies in the game, with an aesthetic that blends Aztec culture, dinosaurs, and cosmic magic.
On the battlefield, they offer a combination of magical dominance, powerful monsters, and flexible troops. They are perfect for players who want an army that feels as epic as it is exotic.
Lore – Who are the Seraphon?
The Seraphon are descendants of an ancient civilization that served The Old Ones – god-like beings who once shaped the galaxy. When the Old Ones disappeared, the Slann Starmasters (powerful toad mages) took over and still lead the Seraphon armies in their eternal struggle against chaos.
They have two main origins:
-
Starborne – beings manifested directly from the cosmos, created in star-vessels.
-
Coalesced – Seraphon who live physically in the Mortal Realms, more bestial and earthbound.
Regardless of their origin, they fight to fulfill the Old Ones' plans and restore order to the universe.
