As it is written right now, you could pair up with bretonians paladin since it's only a "paladins" keyword. Could be funky ? ^ I did this last year and it worked out ok. The Paladin is pretty choppy ha ha. It's ideal when you only want a single azyros/unit of Paladins but want to boost shooting as he's only 80 points. Handy for Three Places of Power also.

Turragor Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I don't like it and don't think it's intended! I want my Stormcast formations pure! Definitely feels like an accident with old faction naming and new faction naming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - it's a bit lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I just thought though, modelling a very stormcasty looking bretonnian paladin can leave all that french pageantry aside and you've got a much cooler 'counts as' application. Just some cool solo stormcast badass. Although stormcast have a ton of heroes already it's probably a nice use for converted heroes with loadouts that don't really match anything else but the vague 'relic weapon and shield'.

Olincay Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Anyone want to have a stab as with what to expect from the new stormcast book coming out? Allegiance abilities, artifacts ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 BolS is showing the new 10 man boxes (Liberators and judicators) priced at $62 each, which if true is a pretty nice reduction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turragor Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Okay so, let's imagine Scions of the Storm (or whatevs its called) means all units can be deployed by lightning strike (on a 3 plus). No other restrictions. Suddenly the use of teleport formations is restricted to when you absolutely MUST have units down and can't risk a 1 or 2 roll. What does your 2k list look like now??

Bjarni St. Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 These guys look alright as an alternative to Liberators, particularly outside deepstrike battalions. The ranged weapon points tax is not always kind to hybrid units though, so we'll see if they're low enough and/or new battalions give them some extra oomph.

Aezeal Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Good warmachine or mage hunters, shouldn't be to cheap. Set up in 7 "from enemy means a good chance to get the charge IF that is still needed after 2 shots from each of them.. most warmachines will probably be dead or at least have damage output halved even before the charge.

Hoodwizard Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 The warscroll says the prime gets 3 attacks instead of 2 does that mean he gets 3 shots with the pistol as well?Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Interesting that they have the same Angelos keyword as Prosecutors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turragor Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 6 inch move. 9 average with run and shooting. Melee on par with libs. Main downside is lack of special on the prime. So if you don't need mobility they might lose their sheen. I really like these guys. You think they'll get battleline? ... As part of a Vanguard only force maybe.

When I compare these with my tree revenants who have a similar set up ability(yes muh more options but ones hardly useable) I'd say these need to be way more point with their ranged attack, 2 wounds , better save etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegfried VII Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I think that their usefulness will depend a lot on their points and whether they will be battleline. Other than that they seem to be good at taking care of warmachines, shooting units and weak characters such as wizards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling the new tome will make be giving us many more options than wb or sbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turragor Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Forgot! I remember thinking 'bless weapons' though obscured, looked ace. It was attacking a 2nd time on some trigger (probably 6s). One was enemy bravery -2. One grants a 'priest' keyworded hero 1 dispel. I was too busy making sure I got the limited edition tome ordered. In case it sold out. Which it did! I thought I was being silly and that the SCs weren't that popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sold out in under and hour, I was thinking of getting one basically for the crack but I didn't expect them to go that quickly. Now I feel lucky I that I just happened to be on there at the right time and managed to get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
