ebsia1 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Hey guys, I am thinking about starting with an stormcast eternals army. Now, I am a total noob with regards to AOS. I am looking for a good 1.000 point army. Could be so nice to help a new player out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erdemo86 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) While i was thinking about a gavriel conversion i took some parts i didnt need anymore and came up with this. Not done painting but this is where i am. What do you think guys? Do you think this could be used as gavriel?

LordCelestant Imperius 1st Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Absolutely. I play this garbage as gavriel. But only once in a while. Since we are sharing, i am adding my extremis retribution stormhost. And yes... that is a nagash in the background. I am almost a traitor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talunus Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Hey guys, I keep hearing talk of an Anvilstrike list. I'm a new player and am still learning the stormcast. Is the Anvilstrike one of the chambers allegiances? Or is it an idea? And what's a common list for this set up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the Anvilstrike one of the chambers allegiances? Or is it an idea? And what's a common list for this set up? Anvilstrike is a list with 9x Longstrikes and 10x Evocators that uses the Anvils of the Heldenhammer command ability to shoot twice or fight twice every turn. It's called "Anvilstrike" because it plays almost identical to an old list that used the Aetherstrike battalion (which was removed in the newest book). Common list looks something like this: 9 Longstrikes 10 Evocators 3 units of 5 Liberators for battleline 2 units of Aetherwings Support heroes (Incantor, Azyros, a PRIEST for Translocation) The goal is to shoot your opponents key pieces off the table in the first two rounds, you cripple them beyond the point of recovery and then the Evocators finish them off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erdemo86 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Are balistas without an ordinator worth it? Thinking about playing 2 in my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldoze Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) Has anyone had much joy with Aventis Firestrike? Bought him real cheap recently and I’ve thrown him in my last few games but I can’t see how he pulls his weight at 360 points and being such a big model / base.

I don't know the math hammer worth of them all though it was posted in here a long time ago. In games I notice them doing about 2-3 wounds a round. Usually one will totally miss or roll very few attacks. I think its ok at best, but this is also just my feelings and I've only played a few games with 2 and without any support. I'd rather take a comet for 100 points to be quite honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killamike Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 With FEC doing the rounds fairly hard, 3 ballistas, ordination and astral Templars has been blowing them up. Ballista bomb has always been solid but a good reason to give the Templars a go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballistas are much better with an Ordinator, but perform... fine without him. You can either drop them around the board to create MSU units that require focus, or dump a couple in your back lines to be a long range threat that covers your advance. They'll perform well enough for their 100 points as long as you roll average on your exploding hits, but 4 dropping in with an Ordinator is the real OG facekick.

No because all our named characters (or most) are really overcosted with no 5+ Feel no Pain like other Heroes in that point range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest, if you go first what range are you firing Longstrikes in the hero phase T1? Seems like they wouldn't benefit from the range bonus in that situation but I'm not 100% sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as that's true I'm not giving my friend that much credit haha. Is there really any way to deal with swamp lists like that? I'm practicing for NOVA and I feel like I'm going to be seeing more horde lists than monster lists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there really any way to deal with swamp lists like that? Evos with mystic shield + azyrite halo For example I had my evocators with azyrite halo + mystic shield on against nighthaunt. He attacked with 30 chainrasp, 12 attacks got through, with the mystic shield re rolls I ended up with 5 rolls of 6 killing 6 rasp whilst I suffered one wound. I attack back and then clean house with 10 x 2d6 for celestial lightning arc effect. Edited April 13, 2019 by Bulldoze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledha Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 9 minutes ago, Bulldoze said: Surely Evocators are the answer if anything Their ability that allows them to roll 2d6 for every model in the unit and every 4+ is a MW absolutely culls hordes. Also the spell Azyrite Halo works well when you are on the receiving end of loads of attacks cos on a save of 6 you do a MW back to the attacker. For example I had my evocators with azyrite halo + mystic shield on against nighthaunt. He attacked with 30 chainrasp, 12 attacks got through, with the mystic shield re rolls I ended up with 5 rolls of 6 killing 6 rasp whilst I suffered one wound. 24 left so I roll 48 dice on my turn and wipe the unit You roll 2D6 for each EVOCATOR model, not for each ennemy model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgehog stardrakes love them (if you engage the units right and aren't just losing objective points every round). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
