Magic Defense for Stormcast?

[Khornedog]

I played a game against a nurgle demon maggotkin army the other day and had a great time.  Tough battle but the stormcasts pulled through it.  One questions I had is that since the relic priest can't dispel since he isn't a wizard do people take any kind of magic defense for dispel purposes.  If so do you take a lord veritant, or an ally from somewhere else?  Or, do you just ****** it and don't take anything?

The best defence against magic is killing wizards!

I'd suggest taking a Luminark of Hysh. For 240pts in ally goodness you'll get;

• 6+ ward save within 10"
• 30" shot that does -2 rend, 6 damage
• Wizard
• Hoard killing spell
• A great centre piece model

Two allied Helstorm Rocket batteries and at least one Lord-Ordinator using his command ablilty. 9 3+/3+ rend -2  damange D6 shots landing anywhere on the battlefield without the need for line of sight, more than enough to kill small wizard dead, and enough to combine with your other shooting to take down any monstrous ones.

I've been bringing the Eldrich Council Archmage in my recent Stormcast games against heavy magic armies (like Death with Nagash and Nurgle with Rotigus and the Glottkin). He helps out with his Elemental Shield spell, which gives a 6+ ward save and he also has +1 to unbinding. Since he is 120 points he just barely squeezes into my lists.

I usually ally in a loremaster, but with a nurgle heavy meta in my area may have to consider the archmage or the luminark

Aren't Helstorms 5+/3+? So with the Ordinator that will come down to 4+/3+. Or maybe I'm missing something that gives them an extra bonus to hit?

If a Helstorm fires all three shots at the same target (and why wouldn't you?) it gets an extra +1 to hit.
