Maturin Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Joke aside, neither my opponent or me are very competitive players. A few remarks though : - Instead of taking two units of Aetherwings, I took 1 unit of Javelin Prosecutors. The aetherwings would have been better at screening my deepfield against DP paladins. But he failed his first charge, made it the second time, but he conceded a bit later. - It's interesting the psychological effect that 4 fulminators had on him. Although I told him how strong they were going to be agaisnt shots, he still fired upon with is 2 balistas. As expected, not a single damage taken. - It's hard playing in a noisy environment, how you guys manage to keep focused in a tournament in a crowded arena is an impressive fact. I forgot a lot of aditionnal rules (wound or hit reroll given by the Triumph table for ex). Anyway, see ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requizen Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I'm considering getting Cities of Sigmar and just renaming it "Stormcast And Friends" So Greywater Fastness allows you to take an extra Artillery piece and give all artillery extra range. 5 Ballistas + Ordinator + Hurricanum is expensive but extremely hilarious and should pepper most things off the board with little to no issue. Can't wait to see the rest of the book 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also adds 3" to Artillery range, so half distance is now 21" (24" with movement), more than enough to cover a huge portion of the board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be insane , I already tested the 4 B + LO + Lum combo once and it was nasty , you think the re-roll 1s will also count for the B? That combo could completely shut down half of the board.

Lucur Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Another advantage of CoS is access to cheap battleline. I'm really curious how they intend to balance that out. Outside of Anvilstrike most people would love to lose their Stormhosts for access to most Order units... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll gladly take either Eternal guards or Phoenix Temple battleline over Liberators any day. 1 hour ago, schwabbele said: That will be insane , I already tested the 4 B + LO + Lum combo once and it was nasty , you think the re-roll 1s will also count for the B? That combo could completely shut down half of the board. Better than Greywater : 4 High elf balistas, 2 Seawardens, LO + Hurricanum. That's insane because you don't have to rely on the unreliable SCE balista ! That's 48 shots at 36", hits 2+, auto-wound (2 Seawardens), rend -1, D1.

Lucur Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 If i used an emerald lifeswarm to resurrect fallen Evocators on Dracoline, do i need to roll a 5+ to get one back or do i get one back with the wounds remaining equal to the roll? (Or two in the case of a 6 with one on one wound?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maturin Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) @Lucur You roll to cast. It's cast. It's not unbound. Now : - if you sustained wounds you roll to heal D3 wounds or - if all your remaining models are full life : you roll to resurrect models worth D3 wounds. I don't think you can resurrect a dracoline if you don't roll 5 or 6 on the D3. I think Lifeswarm is great in Ghyran, or if not in Ghyran, on models with one wound > Phoenix temple for ex.

Maturin Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 So If I spend 3 CP on a LC's retribution giving him +3 to hit, he fails on 1s? So, you tell me that the Store manager of my GW taught me wrong ? Interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nubgan Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Quick question from a lurker (who doesn't keep up with everything), but what is involved in Anvilstrike? It's not in the Battletome, so I am presuming its in another book or a name for a combination of units. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks You take the Anvils of the Heldenhammer Stormhost and build a list around a unit of nine or more Vanguard Raptors with Longstrike crossbows. With the trait they can shoot twice a turn, making them very powerful. Just read up on the last few pages, there's lots of different lists in here with some decent discussion to boot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand getting access to cheap hordes of greatswords/ steam tanks , Demigrpyh knights (my old world fav) and some cool command point and fight twice abilities might be worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
