Hello all, I am starting up a new journeyman league and wanted to play Skorne so here I am, and hopefully for good 
My main question would be how would I play Xerxis 1 or Zaal 2 in a journeyman league setup, I feel Xerxis 1 would be a lot better for starting out Skorne just because you are not pigeon holed as much into buying tons of Immortals and you could branch out easier into other Casters in the faction but if you can play Zaal 2 in a journeyman league without being too weak early on, I all ears!
I was thinking about playing Xerxis 1 and trying out to make my 75 point list at the end looking something like this Tournament List,
Xerxis 1
Agonizer
Tiberion
Titan Gladiator
Paingiver Beast Handlers (max)
Cataphract Cetrati (max)
Tyrant Vorkesh
Praetorian Ferox (max)
Tyrant Rhadeim
Main thing I might change is trying to include a krea somehow because I really like the idea of the super tanky Cetrati but feel it might be better to just keep that list as is. The main problem I found when trying to make a list that uses all the pieces and only the pieces in this list would be that I am always under points by 1 or 2.
For the Zaal 2 list I was thinking about this list,
Zaal 2
Basilisk Drake
Basilisk Drake
Basilisk Krea
Agonizer
Immortals (max)
Extoller Advocate
Immortals (max)
Extoller Advocate
Immortals (max)
Paingiver Beast Handlers (min)
Hakaar the Destroyer
Ancestral Guardian
Ancestral Guardian
The problem I see with this list is that early on in the league it would be really weak because of the battlegroup not having any heavies, also I understand the basic idea with the agonizer and the krea but having double drake other than the cost and having the sprays is nice doesnt seem very strong. Maybe I could use a different battlegroup but I like the idea behind the list and love the models.
Sorry for the long post, just trying to figure out what to buy and maybe some tips on how to play Skorne before I decide what to get, I really like both of these casters but also found Makeda and many other casters to be interesting but I prefer the medium based infantry lists for now but again I am very open to any ideas or opinions to Skorne since I am very new to the faction. Thanks again and hope I can help in the future!
