Been playing around a bit, trying to write lists (apart from the obvious too-cool-to-skip all drake list) and I've come up with this (admittedly with a lot of inspiration from some of you here ) Knights Excelsior stormhost Holy Commands: Thunderbolt Volley, Unleash Thy Hatred Warlord battalion Lord-Relictor - General, High Priest, Translocation, Amulet of Destiny Lord-Imperatant Yndrasta 10x Judicators Hunters of the Heartlands battalion 6x Annihilators with Meteoric Grandhammers 6x Annihilators with Meteoric Grandhammers Idea is to start with both Annihilator units and the Lord-Relictor in the sky, have Yndrasta run up and meet them turn 1 and leave the Judicators on backfield objectives. Not a lot of bodies to contest objectives but with double tapping the Judicators and dropping down the Annihilators the hope is to take out the biggest threats of the enemy very early on. Thoughts would be appreciated

I'm hopping on this bandwagon! I'm slightly sad about all the non-dragon Stormcast units that will have to sit on the shelf, but all dragons is a must! Will a single Stormdrake Guard count as battleline?

Dracoline mounted archers sound pretty good to me!

This last year my hobby drive was very much up and down but overall I'm fairly happy with the amount I was able to finish. In total it was 77 models, 73 Stormcast Eternals (3830 points) and 4 Primaris Space Marines (195 points), bringing my total amount of painted Stormcast up to 8680 points and my total amount of painted Primairis up to... 195 points. Looks like I would have managed 4000 points of Stormcast if I hadn't been tempted to start the Primaris army late in the year as well. What can I say, I just really like dudes (and dudettes) in heavy armor So for 2021 the aim is to beat that number and hopefully maybe get some models on a playing table as well!

Looks like Stormcast male generic heroes are missing from the list in the original post making it at least 17/24 factions with generic male heroes (as well as adding a ton more of male heroes to the list).

I'm looking for one helmeted head from the Stormcast Eternals Celestar Ballista kit. Would be amazing if anyone can help me out here. The female helmet preferred but can work with the male one. Happy to pay, trading for other bare heads also possible.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I see the logic although I'm slightly concerned about the lack of melee output which I figured the desolators would bring. But then again your point about the magic protection is a very valid one. Picking the first one is the easy choice though as the only thing that needs paint from that on is the drakesworn, but the second one would also require the desolators to be painted

Debating between two lists that I like the look of, both with two stardrakes: Lord-Celestant on Stardrake (500) general Drakesworn Templar (420) Lord-Castellant (120) 5x Liberators (90) 5x Liberators (90) 5x Liberators (90) Celestant-Prime (300) Knight-Incantor (120) Knight-Incantor (120) Everblaze Comet (100) Extra Command Point (50) 2000/2000 ..or: Lord-Celestant on Stardrake (500) general Drakesworn Templar (420) Lord-Castellant (120) 5x Liberators (90) 5x Liberators (90) 5x Liberators (90) 6x Desolators (570) Knight-Heraldor (100) 1980/2000 Feedback would be appreciated as I'm having a hard time deciding which one to commit to (and one has a bit more painting commitments than the other )

It looks like I will soon be the proud owner of two stardrakes due to my imminent ever advancing age checkpoint, so I'm looking into lists that allow me to field both on the table. I've come up with this, but I'd appreciate feedback from you more experienced generals to tell me if this could work or if I'm way off course here. Lord-Celestant on Stardrake (500) general Drakesworn Templar (420) 3x5 Liberators (270) Lord-Castellant (120) Knight-Incantor (120) 6x Desolators (570) This would be 2000 points on the nose. I'm including the Incantor in there for some minimal protection against spells, but perhaps that's too little to matter and a Knight-Heraldor for the run-and-charge on the Desolators would be more useful.

That's also true. I'm just worried about the timeframe. But maybe some point drops will hold us over for a bit.

That is a good point. I hope you're right.

I'm a bit disappointed that they are lowering the points on Stormcasts. I would have much rather seen improvements to the warscrolls so they are worth their points. And if that was happening anytime soon they would probably not be lowering the points just to bring them up again. So we're probably stuck with the current warscrolls longer that at least I hoped.

Thanks guys, this is very helpful!

I'm hoping some of you here that have more experience with contrast paints than I do can help me with this one. I've been using Mephiston Red, Evil Sunz Scarlet and Wild Rider Red when painting wings and now I want to get a similar color spread but with contrast paints. Would I be correct assuming that Flesh Tearers Red, Blood Angels Red and Gryph-Hound Orange should give me a similar look? Also, what undercoat would you recommend to get as close to the regular paint colors as possible?

The Lord-Exorcist has a book that might work.
