I'm coming back to Skorne after a long time with Retribution and I need some advice. I don't currently own any battle engines or 3 units of immortals, so what are some good lists I should try out instead? I need something to jump start my list building process. If it helps, I a very interested in Jalaam and Zaadesh, but I own all the casters so I'm open to anything.

Well without much more to go on, it will be difficult. Most of the themes in Skorne work fairly well. But if I want something dependable and easy, I run this:
War Room Army
Skorne - x2 dumb
Theme: Imperial Warhost 3 / 3 Free Cards 75 / 75 Army
Xerxis, Fury of Halaak - WB: +28 - Archidon - PC: 10 (Battlegroup Points Used: 10) - Archidon - PC: 10 (Battlegroup Points Used: 10) - Bronzeback Titan - PC: 18 (Battlegroup Points Used: 8) - Titan Gladiator - PC: 15 - Titan Gladiator - PC: 15 - Cyclops Shaman - PC: 8 - Titan Sentry - PC: 15 - Agonizer - PC: 0 - Agonizer - PC: 0 - Basilisk Krea - PC: 0
Paingiver Beast Handlers - Leader & 5 Grunts: 7 Paingiver Beast Handlers - Leader & 3 Grunts: 5

Well how about something like this: conflictchamber.com/#c9201b_-0ZgOeF6U6U5G6vfF5P6Kfs5U6c6d6hSkorne Army - 75 / 75 points [Theme] Masters of War (Zaadesh 2) Lord Tyrant Zaadesh [+28] - Aradus Soldier [16] - Archidon [10] - Archidon [10] - Titan Gladiator [15] Extoller Soulward [3] Swamp Gobber Chef [1] Cataphract Cetrati (max) [18] - Tyrant Vorkesh [0(6)] Legends of Halaak [8] Paingiver Beast Handlers (min) [5] Praetorian Swordsmen (max) [13] - Praetorian Swordsman Officer & Standard [4] Tyrant Commander & Standard Bearer [0(6)] Masters of War is probably the best Skorne theme if you want to avoid having to buy and paint our magnificiently beautiful battle engine.

I've been having some fun with Jalaam in Masters of War, using this list. though I'm not sure how competitive it is. Incendiarii are fun, but a bit much points wise. though Deadeye makes them hit things that are normally tricky to hit normally and drifting AoEs always fun. His feat is surprisingly good for def 10/11/13 things. Sadly Masters of War stops access to snipe which is a real shame for him, but Tycom + Vanish gives him a threat range of 23" which is suprisingly scary for casters camping zero, especially when it's grevious wounds and you elected the caster as your prey target.
Skorne Army - 75 / 75 points [Theme] Masters of War
(Jalaam 1) Primus Jalaam [+28] - Basilisk Krea [7] - Titan Gladiator [15] - Titan Sentry [15] Extoller Soulward [3] Feralgeist [2] Mortitheurge Willbreaker [4] Cataphract Cetrati (max) [18] - Tyrant Vorkesh [0(6)] Cataphract Incindiarii (min) [11] Cataphract Incindiarii (min) [11] Paingiver Beast Handlers (min) [5] Praetorian Ferox (min) [12] Tyrant Commander & Standard Bearer [0(6)]

These lists are exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for, thanks! Do you all think Winds is worth it without the SA for Jalaam or Rasheth?

Fair enough! Does anyone have any fun Disciples lists? I'm thinking a Morghoul2 list could have legs with mortality.

You need Scarabs for free solo. I figured it was worth more paying effective 6 pts for the Scarabs.

the bokor counts for free cards too. So does the spirit coldren but you probably will not use the points.
edit: I do mean gatorman bokor and bog trog swamp shamblers

Very easy to get out of control. But the Bokor and Shamblers is an option I hadn't considered. I don't have them yet though.
