Nos Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) I had a look the other day and Unbeknownst to me the highest ranking SC list at Cancon ran a list almost the exact same as the 6 Dracoline one I’ve been playing. Except he went Anvils so presumably did a double pile-in with the cats, yeesh. Even bigger splat on impact. Think he also took two ballista where I take 2 Liberators which is interesting.

Anvils CA on Cats would be hard there since you have to have the nearby Hero to use it, but it's possible. Plus, if you burn it when not in combat, it just gives the Dracolines an extra 3" move in the Hero Phase! Likely he was using it for the occasional extra shot with the Ballistas. A Ballista isnt' the best use of a Point, but it's not bad by a long shot and 3 Ballista + Ordinator will ruin so many things it's not even funny.

HammerOfSigmar Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) I guess that list use LAoGC. With LAoGC's 7D6 movement, it is much easier to keep the big cats in CA range when needed.

He was running LA on Dracoline with the pack leader trait and CA so he would have been able to gurantee it pretty much. Edit: I stand corrected! Wonder if he dropped them in. But then the Heraldor wouldn’t be able to use his stuff. Mysterious. Edited February 7, 2019 by Nos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has the dumbest wording: Only Stormcast Eternal Wizards that do not have a Wounds characteristic of 6 or more, are not part of a unit with 2 or more models, and are not already on a Dais Arcanum, can attempt to cast this spell.

As @Ozzy0sb pointed out being able to fly around a general 12” with SD for only 40 points is probably the reason. Exorcist is only other guy. But obviously that’s pretty unlikely to occur!

If you're not running mass sequitors you could just make your Incantor the general and enjoy your flying 1+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although as I’ve said elsewhere I like Incantor on Dais for 2 dispells, 3 with Scroll for one turn, and being able to fly in for kamikaze flask attacks. So I suppose if you don’t need another general specifically and you take an Incantor then adding a portable SD to the Incantors arsenal is hardly a bad thing!

AdamR Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 SD on 20 blob of Evocators with lantern and mystic shield or talisman of the watcher = urk! Or still have a 20 sequitor blob but 3x judicators for battleline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CareBear Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 In a list with a gavriel bomb of ten evocators and otherwise pretty slow units. What is most benefital, LAoGC or LA on foot +1 cp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is most benefital, LAoGC or LA on foot +1 cp? LAoGC have a 7D6 fly, so you can put it on the table at the beginning of the battle and then fly to your DS troops. LA on foot let you have an extra CP, which turns out to be 3" more inches charges. Assuming you have 2 CP at the beginning of your first turn, then you have +6" to charges, so it is almost an auto success(except double 1s, you can bring vexillor(reroll charges whithin 18") to counter this situation). This is pretty important for gaveriel bomb. In my personal view, LA on foot is more beneficial for gavriel bomb.
