Seraphon[edit]
The Seraphon are a race of intelligent reptilian humanoids who are the eternal foes of Chaos and champions of Order.
Physical Description[edit]
Saurus are a type of powerful predatory Seraphon much larger and stronger than their Skink cousins and serve as the main infantry of the Seraphon military. They are also able to serve as cavalry and even as the bodyguards of the Slann Starmasters.
The Slann are the leaders of the Seraphon. They are toad-like creatures with immense magical powers. They are exclusively found sitting on magical palanquins from where they can survey the battlefield and bring their magical powers to bear most effectively. In order to obliterate their foes, the Starmasters manipulate the very heavens. Through their arcane might and vast intellects are the Seraphon summoned to the Mortal Realms to crush the servants of Chaos.
Huge in stature, the Kroxigor send enemies flying with each swing of their massive weapons. Summoned by the Slann to crush stubborn enemy resistance, these lumbering giants possess strength enough to smash enemy fortifications to rubble and break the backs of terrifying monsters.[1a]

Skinks bombard their foes from all directions with crackling volleys of celestial energy and meteor-like projectiles. Even as their opponents try to bring them to battle, the diminutive Seraphon slip away into the shadows, ready to appear without warning once more and bring death to their enemies.
The Chameleon Skinks are thought by some sages to be distant cousins of dragonborn and kobolds. Despite their resemblance to those other scaled folk, however, Chameleon Skinks are their own people and have lived on the worlds of the Material Plane since the worlds’ creation. Gifted by the gods with remarkable physical defences and a mystical connection to the natural world, Chameleon Skinks can survive with just their wits in situations that would be deadly for other folk. Because of that fact, many Chameleon Skinks myths state that their people were placed by the gods in the Material Plane to guard its natural wonders.
Chameleon Skinks have colorful scales and exhibit a wide array of scale patterns. Their individual facial features are as varied as those of lizards.
History[edit]
Older than memory, existing for aeons unrecorded, the Seraphon have ever waged an unending, savage war against the forces of Chaos. Descending to strike a vengeful blow against the Dark Gods for the destruction of their beloved World That Was aeons ago, as the Age of Sigmar dawns, they seek to bring order to the Mortal Realms.
