Linus Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hello everyone! My friends and I started playing AoS a while ago and I played a few games with the Stormcast from the starter box. Now I'd like to run a Vanguard heavy list because they just look so cool and seem very interesting. So here's what i came up with: Lord-Aquilor (200) Neave Blacktalon (120) Lord-Celestant On Dracoth (220) - Tempestos Hammer & Thundershield Units 5 x Vanguard-Hunters (140) 5 x Vanguard-Hunters (140) 5 x Vanguard-Hunters (140) 5 x Vanguard-Hunters (140) 3 x Vanguard-Palladors (220) 3 x Vanguard-Palladors (220) 6 x Vanguard-Raptors with Longstrike Crossbows (360) 1 x Gryph-Hound (40) 3 x Aetherwings (60) => 2000 Points What do you think? Is this any good? What would you change? Please let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoOpRich Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I'd only take as many Hunters as you need to fill your battleline requirements. So I'd remove one of those (140), and probably the gryph hound (40) to give you 180 points to spend. Two options that gives you is 3 more Raptors with Longstrikes (180); or Lord Relictor (80) + Celestant or Castellant (100). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 Thank you! Then I will go with 3 more Raptors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsun Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I'd consider one unit of 6 palladors and maybe a unit of 3 in place of the LCoD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 Thank you! I thought of that aswell but I'm afraid that painting 9 Palladors might be a little too much for me. I'm going to paint the LCoD first because I really like the miniature and use him for while before I replace him with Palladors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somanlius Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Instead of a unit of 6 Raptors, why not two units of three? That way you get two Primes with their +1 hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are actually part of the Vanguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That only applies if you have Hurricane Raptors and not the Longstrike ones if I'm not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 The Prime of the Longstrike Raptors gets a Aetherwing which has 2 attacks in combat. And when there is a Prime with a Aetherwing in the unit they can use "Warning Cry" when a enemy unit makes a charge move that ends within 1" of the Raptors. Then you roll one dice for each Raptor in the unit and for each rolled six the enemy unit suffers two mortal wounds. I'd like to play them as one unit so that the Lord Aquilor can teleport all of them out of danger easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 Two other lists came to my mind both involving the Justicar conclave because I want to try out this battalion.
