Nubgan Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Honestly, Stormcast are really flexible and you can pretty much take what you want and do alright unless your competing at higher levels. For a 1000pts using what you have I would take the following: Allegiance: Stormcast EternalsLord-Celestant On Dracoth (220)- Tempestos Hammer & ThundershieldLord-Relictor (80)5 x Liberators (100)- Warhammer & Shield5 x Liberators (100)- Warhammer & Shield5 x Judicators (160)- Skybolt Bows3 x Prosecutors with Celestial Hammers (100)5 x Paladin Retributors (220)Total: 980/1000 This gives you a bit of everything to work with, mobility/speed/shooting, to force people where you want them as well as some utility in the Relictor. You also have a little bit of durability in the liberators and Hulk Smash with the Dracoth and Paladins. As far as what to get next, I think whatever route you can take is pretty decent, be it the Stardrake (w/ Mirrorshield) and Protector hawtness, or Surprise party Vanguard Chamber stuff, they would all do pretty damned well against the stuff you mention. Enjoy buddy and welcome to the fray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gokken Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I like your list you have abit of everything, but I find your hero choices odd. you have to celestants on dracoth and one on foot, you can only use on your their command abilities, so which one is your general? if its the one on foot I would suggest more retributors to really benefit from the +1 to hit. That would mean your relictors would gain most from having bless weapen and the battleshock one, because you will really loose your liberators and paladins to mortal wounds, and they are a big part of your army. if you were to take the dracoth guy, they would be immune to battleshock, so your priest could use something els like lightning chariot, maybe still bless weapen but it will be less effective, seing celestant on foot is now just a glorious mortal wound shooter. also with so many liberators, they can get an insane saves with Lord Castellant, if celestant on foot is not your general, i would say he would be better. If you could paint more presecutors, you could have a nice Vanguard wing that formation really improves your liberators to levels where they deal tons of damage, or you can get the formation with judicators,libs and paladins. Can't remeber its name. Summary If I were you, I would consider my hero choices the most, and then decide wither I like paladins or prosecutors the most and then pick the formation based on that.

Thx for your input , I got the Celestant on foot for free when I got my 10 judicators , thats why I have him I will have a look after I got the GH 2017 since the formations now are expensive as hell ? is there any hero I should rly look to buy ? thx again !

ReynakZhen Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 If he takes the Lord Celestant on Dracoth as the general with Consummate Commander trait, then he can use the command abilities of both his lord celestants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say Lord Castellant, an automatic mystic shield is too great to pass up, I run a vanguard ving with 15 liberators, with him they have a 2+ saves reroll 1's. Also paladins with save 3 is much better, seeing you have many basic troops a higher save is really good. My liberators buffed with lord celestant and castellant means these guys end up having a 2+ save and also do 2 wounds on each hit of 5+, my 2 guys with greathammers murdered a mighty lord of khorne in a turn.
