I don't think I'd need to move them to block opponents in the opponents' charge phases. They'd be everywhere. But yeah, that could be the next stage, when I don't want anyone to play me at all ever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frowny Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I've always thought Stormcast would be an interesting army for an animal theme. There are already lion/eagle/dragon motifs throughout, which could easily be turned into their own things. It would only take a little conversion and addition of 1-2 more animals. Maybe some bear or wolf helmets on a squad. Could even use different models as the base (like khorne reavers or tzeentch acolytes who are more naked) to play up the wildness of it....

Not sure about Yndrasta im not seeing her being worth 300 points in this list. i do like the translocation desolators but could be even better with concussors/fulminators + heraldor. i would be tempted to switch yndrasa out for something like upgrade desolators, take heraldor, take max units aetherwings to block/zone/easy acces to some battletactics Rest looks super solid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Yndrasta is eating up too many points here for too little return. IMHO a Tauralon with amulet of destiny is superior; otherwise I feel that you need more Aetherwings. Also I rate fulminators and concussors over Desolators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knights Excelsior make Annihilators and Paladins Battleline. Looks like the wrong rules image has been included currently, but will offer 'An extra boost to hit and wound rolls' Astral Templars make Palladors and Hunters Battleline. Astral Templar units can't be picked for monstrous rampages. Very interesting to see if the other stormhosts open up other battleline options. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordPrometheus Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I'm absolutely thrilled with this. This tome is looking to be everything I was hoping for and more. It looks like Stormcast are going to be the toolbox anti meta army, which makes my heart sing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there's something similar to what they did with the lumineth battletome.

jeanfluflu Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) I'm also thinking, with all those units getting to hit on 2+ and all (paladins, in knight excelsior...etc) what will hapen to our knight azyros do you think? You took this dude to reroll hit rolls of one and that's basically it, raptors loved him. But it seems that GW want to remove all the reroll aspects of the game or at least makes them quite minimal or reserved to legendary heroes. Any thoughts?
