With Incantor, I would be really tempted to also include Everblaze comet and maybe try Dais Arcanum instead of Balewind

Nice. I am glad they worked for you. Never mind about the chariots as it may be better to not get used to them. I am expecting them to get pretty substantial bump in points in next GHB

Maybe shadow warriors can combine what you need from revenants and sisters in one unit and help you lower drop count? Also scourgerunners are always a good option in cities.

So what to expect from a new battletome? I am considering a new Seraphon army, but would like for it to be fighty with a lot of Saurus, Kroxigors and such stuff....

I would like to run something similar bur keep it mostly aelven. Also would like to avoid bulding and painting Hurricanum so I wonder If running double Dreadlord is viable? I would probably go with prince, two dreadlords and 2x20 sisters as a core in the reserves. However I have a hard time filling the rest of the army to be deployed at start. If I go sorceress+dakrshards and double Sister of the thorn I have 190 points left in CP hungry army without an Anvil unit and lacking some endless spell support. For those points I can get Eternal guard and Geminids, but I am really not sure about it because I feel like I would like to trigger both Dreadlord CA and prince CA.

I am wondering which City to pick for a wanderer / phoenix temple army. I would like it to be at least semi-competitive. Something like: Allegiance: Cities of Sigmar - City: Living City LEADERS Anointed of Asuryan on Frostheart Phoenix (320) Nomad Prince (120) - General Sorceress (90) - City Role : General's Adjutant (Must be 6 wounds or less) Sorceress (90) UNITS 20 x Sisters of the Watch (320) 20 x Sisters of the Watch (320) 5 x Wild Riders (130) 5 x Wild Riders (130) 30 x Phoenix Guard (420) ENDLESS SPELLS / TERRAIN / COMMAND POINTS Emerald Lifeswarm (50) I wonder If its actually a Living city or Tempest eye list. I am also not sold on the wild riders. Any suggestions welcome

Yes, The spears dont really look tempting. I mean, why bonus to hit for a unit which already has access to it from different sources. It could have been rend when being charged. It even makes sense...

Thanks. I would like my army to stay human-only with maybe some SCE conversions, so I will probably go with 40 halberds and later maybe a smaller unit with shields.

How are you guys equipping your freeguild guards? I suppose their advantage lies in numbers so I will probably be taking 40 of them. With halbers they can do some serious damage , spears offer mostly range but I am not sure those extra attacks from second line are worth -1 to wound and no rend. With swords they finally start to look like a guard but seem to me mostly harmless (intended) to anything with a good save.

So based on known information, what is the way to go for mostly human non-gunline army? I would love something like multiple demigryph units, freeguild guards and a lot of magic support. Some self-sufficient shooting is possible but mostly for sniping, not carpet bombing. Is Hammerhal the way to go?

Since the start of AOS its clear that Stormcast are quintessential for the whole order existence in mortal realms. It would be against the base lore to exclude them from what is as close to GA: order battletome as possible,

I know. I actually wrote that in my post, that they are not available...

Well, you are right in general...but, its not uncommon that those low poly models are often created from hi poly which was the case in TWW as you can see for example here: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/b4NNm or her https://www.artstation.com/artwork/WqzZX and feel free to search artstation for TWW/2 assets. Basically any model in the game was created in quality that should be enough to directly print it as master for a miniature. Of course those hi-poly models are not avaiable....that would make GW kaboom and my photon printer too because it would run 24/7 😄

Thanks for a heads up. Well, that is sad. I don't see a reason for it. I mean, getting to Legends is a form of punishment now because as long as GW is lazy to move any old faction to Legends, it can be played in matched...that logic sounds by far too twisted to me. Almost Tzeenchian I would say...

There is still hope. They wont be featured in cities, but should still be playable as they are now.
