Greven Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Hi all, With AOS 2.0 gleeming through at the horizon, i was looking to start a fun new army. As well as thematical, i want it to be semi competitive. The main theme will be the Castellant who has a supernice collection of gryph hounds for all the incredible things he has done! 1000 Points: AOS 2.0 Lord- Celestant 120 Lord-Castallant 100 5 Judicators, Bows and Shockbolt. 160 5 Judicators, Bows and Shockbolt. 160 6 Gryph Hounds 140 6 Gryph Hounds 140 3 Vangaurd Raptors, longstrike Bows. 180 1000 Total. I am quite unfamiliar with Stormcast, but i just wanted to take as many hounds as possible without being totally unplayable. As is, it seems to have a good amount of synergy between shooting, fast paced units and gryph buffs. Tips are very appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freejack02 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 So I don't think gryphs are good units, and the change to make them 6 hurts them as much as helps them imo... but I really like the idea. Longstrikes aren't great here (overpriced and fragile imo, especially with two squads of Juds already) so I would cut them. Also swapping a Jud unit for Libs gives you 240 points total to play with, which could be used on some much-needed firepower in Fulminators. However if you want to stay completely with the gryph theme: Allegiance: SCELeadersLord-Castellant (100)Battleline5 x Liberators (100)- Warhammer & Shield- 1x Grandhammers5 x Liberators (100)- Warhammer & Shield- 1x GrandhammersUnits6 x Gryph-Hound (140)6 x Gryph-Hound (140)6 x Vanguard-Palladors (400)Total: 980 / 2000Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 92 That's 92 wounds compared to 73 that you posted, but it loses a good amount of ranged threat (just javelin Palladors really). Very thematic, with scores of Gryphs bounding about and a good big block of Palladors (best target for the lantern buff), but I'm not sure if it will hit hard enough - also only 1 hero. Cutting the Palladors back to 3 could allow for a Lord Relictor and an extra 100 points for a ballista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
