Lucur Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 2 hours ago, Balthasar said: I'm not sure that the Hammer of Sigmar will keep the ability to bring back an entire unit of Redeemer on a 5+ with a command point but it would be very powerful with the new rules of Stormkeep With how many cp one can get access to now, it would certainly be more powerful, as you could afford to just try more often (still failing too often to rely on it, but the risk/reward gets better with less investment, relatively). I still doubt it would be on the op side compared to other summoning, while ofc a 15 man unit of anything "for free" will most certainly swing a game.

lare2 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Well, another game last night and another loss against Soulblight. They're quickly becoming my bogey team. Big reason I lost though was that there were only 3 objectives (mission was the rebranded starstrike) and turn 3 he burned the 1 in my turf. Couldn't catch him on VP after that. Positives, Ynestrata single-handedly put the pressure on a VLZD, Manny, and Radukar. She survived the game and killed all but Manny. Longstrike are still brutal in Anvils. Negatives, those zombies man. 10 Vindictors fell to 30 of the son of a guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by "rebranded starstrike" you mean the veins of Ghur you and your mate might have made a mistake as objectives in that scenario are prime objectives and you don't remove them in t3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackStreicher Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 First test model done (Tabletop Standard). I am aiming for a mix of Celestial Vindicators and Anvils of the Heldenhammer. I‘d have played Anvils due to the Lore and style. Yet after painting Slaves to Darkness and Chaos Space Marines I am fed up with black armours with a golden trim. So here we go 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lare2 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) Does Scions of the Storm count as having moved? I'm aware they come down at the end of the movement phase and that in 2nd it did but can't seem to find the rules relating to reserve units. Can someone please point me to the rules in the core rules which would relate to Scions? Cheers in advance.

If it’s not there it’s in the core book faq which is no longer available to download Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought I must be getting forgetful in my old age when I couldn't find it.

PiotrW Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Guys, I have a question: Do you think that the upcoming new SCE units, Vanquishers and Vigilors, will be considered battlelines? I'm asking, as I have unassembled boxes of Liberators and Judicators - units I mostly needed for battleline purposes. But the new swordsmen and archers look much better - so, if they are to be battleline units, I'll happily sell those unassembled models. I've already decided to sell my unassembled Paladins, as Annihilators are more to my liking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know for a fact Vanquishers are battleline (unconditional) and I believe in the preview stream on dominion release day they said Vigilors are Battleline if the Knight-Judicator is your General. The vanquisher info comes from a points page that was shown in the Learn to Play videos on the official website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nizrah Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Jeesus Christ GW, WHY ARE YOU SO SLOW WITH NEW STORMCAST? Why they put 40k after 3 edition to Aos? That doesn't make much sense to me... Wouldn't it be better to put AoS product when new edition hype is real? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodos der Henker Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 because 40k sells more but is also more depending on momentum AoS can live without new Battledomes, but 40k not without new Codex, as the armies there depend much more on the update 3 months without 2 new books in 40k is worse for GW than killing all the new Edition hype for AoS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vindictors from the Dominion box are a battleline, right? And they can be fielded in units of 5. So, 2x 5 Vindictors + 2x 5 Vanquishers solves my battleline needs. Out you go, boring Liberators and Judicators Unless we know that there would be reason to using them, even with the new battlelines available..? BTW. Vindictors, Vanquishers, Vigilors... what's next? Validators, Vulkanors, Vestals? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStreicher Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I need to make a list about all the (Propably autocorrect) misspellings of ‚Battletome‘, be abuse it‘s really funny imo (not trying to bash anyone) Battletomb (Only the Soulblights can call their book that!) Battledome Battlewomb Battletom Battletohm 🤣 one but, yet many names 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Williams Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) It’s because spellcheckers don’t recognise the word most likely. I’ve gone to type it in many times and it will just auto type something random. I’ll say Battledome is my favourite so hat. Haha.

They can fight two ranks deep (so don’t suffer as much from new coherency) and will be able to take much larger advantage of big buffs. Plus like PrimeElectrid said, the units have to survive till turn 3 to take advantage of objectives outside your territory, and 10 Vindictors will almost certainly be able to do that. I'm planning on testing a unit of 10 or 15. Between 2 ranks of attacks, rally, AoD, etc, they're looking very tough to move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystycalchemy Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 3 minutes ago, xking said: How are annihilators different to the other paladins? Annihilators have a 2+ save, crash like meteors from deep strike and do mortal wounds when they charge, rather than on 6s to hit like Retributors. Also only 3 to a unit instead of 5 (as far as we're aware). They also do not have the Paladin keyword, but that doesn't matter much with the removal of Warscroll Battalions (which may change in the new battletome, but that's unknown at the moment).
