Soulsmith Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I like it, looks like a fun list. I want to try a tauralon also because I like it! But you need another sequitor unit for cleansing phalanx. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only he force you into Hamners (which I don't like at all), but he also needs 2 CPs (thus battalion/bought CP) to be good. I agree that I am very tired of seeing every theory-craft around here being built around him, but he doesn't need 2 CPs to be good, +3 to charge is good enough on it's own. It turns every 9" deployment into a 6" charge - or from 28% to 72%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 what do you think about our endless specific spells? Comet seems ok (almost OP) but the other 2? is it worth buying the box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive only gotten to use the comet against nurgle and so the effects weren't as astounding as I would of thought 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RantingBob Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) Okay, so, I'm doing a Escalation league playing SCE and I've got a 2000pt list: Allegiance: Stormcast Eternals- Stormhost: Tempest LordsMortal Realm: HyshLeadersLord-Arcanum on Gryph-Charger (240)- General- Trait: Bonds of Noble Duty - Artefact: Patrician's Helm - Spell: Chain Lightning- Mount Trait: Keen-clawedLord-Celestant On Dracoth (220)- Tempestos Hammer & Thundershield- Mount Trait: Keen-clawedLord-Relictor (100)- Prayer: TranslocationKnight-Incantor (140)- Artefact: Aetherquartz Brooch - Spell: StormcallerBattleline10 x Sequitors (240)- Stormsmite Mauls and Soulshields- 5x Stormsmite Greatmaces10 x Sequitors (240)- Stormsmite Mauls and Soulshields- 5x Stormsmite Greatmaces5 x Liberators (100)- Warblade & Shield- 1x Grandblades5 x Liberators (100)- Warblade & Shield- 1x GrandbladesUnits5 x Evocators (200)- 5x Grandstaves- Lore of Invigoration: Terrifying Aspect5 x Evocators (200)- 5x Grandstaves- Lore of Invigoration: Speed of LightningBattalionsCleansing Phalanx (120)Endless SpellsEverblaze Comet (100)Total: 2000 / 2000Extra Command Points: 1Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 114 We're starting at 500pts, 1 Leader, 1 Battleline, then 250pts a month.

I'm open to suggestions on which one. What do people think? Edited July 27, 2018 by RantingBob Endless spell talk at the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erdemo86 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) Im thinking of including 2 balistas into my list. Are they worth there 100 points? Want to use them to hold objectives with 1 unit of Bow Judicators. Do you think they are good for that job? And also i need units to put on the board at the start of the game, so that i can use scions for the most of the rest.

Martijn de Bruin Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I've been using a Lord-Ordinator and 4 Ballistas with scions and it is wrecking havoc. Especially alpha striking big monsters or heroes. Anyone else been having some success with this or are there certain matchups where this is very weak?

I haven't used that many Ballistas yet, but if I were your opponent I would look to deep strike something into that bubble and take it out asap. That's over 25% of your army, if I can engage them and kill the LO while limiting your target selection I'm feeling pretty good. As far as the offensive output, I don't think anyone can argue that 4 Ballistas + LO isn't effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erdemo86 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Sorry but i wanted to know if 2 balistas without an ordinator are worth there points. Or is it better to put something else in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe celestial vindicators based since you can make any small melee unit effective by popping the command ability onto them. I'll see if I can come up with something.

I know a lot of people will hate now because of Gavriel but heres my list: (c&c is welcome) Hammers of Sigmar Lord Arkanum on foot Gaviel Sureheart Lord Castellant Knight Heraldor 1x 20 Sequitors 1x 5 Sequitors 1x 5 Judicators 2 x 5 Evocators 2x Celestar Ballista Everblaze Comet Quicksilver Sword Cleansing Phalanx Total: 2000 points i think the gameplan is clear. Alpha Striking with 20 sequitors, Gavriel and Evocators. Judicators, 5 Sequitors and Balistas for objectives. Arkanum(staff of focus)+Comet+ Heraldor for MW’s turn 1. Quicksilver Swords for Spare 20 points. Edited July 28, 2018 by Erdemo86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanielFM Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Do people rate 5 Sequitors units as useful beyond camping objectives? With rerolls to hit and wound they should deal decent damage to small-midsized units. I know 10 would be better, and 20 are preferred as a big hammer. But I hate 20-strong SCE units (too horde for our super elite army) and I must field two units for Cleansing Phalanx with only 10 Sequitor models.

Also, I had a unit of 5 take the remaining 8 wounds off a Verminlord the other day self-buffed. Opponent was surprised to see my 5 man battleline unit putting out so much hurt, and it pretty much locked up the game. They are just too flexible and cost effective - I would rate units of 5, 10, and 20 very highly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second endless spell is only because i have 20 spare points and maybe in some games it will do some work against chaos armys. Theres not much other choices for 20 points i think. also i dont know what to cut for adding in a Incantor. Could cut Castellant or a Ballista and add in an Archmage but dont know if its worth.

Hoodwizard Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) I was just messing around with firestrike to see if i could build a decent list to use him in and i think i stumbled upon something pretty nasty: Allegiance: Stormcast Eternals- Stormhost: Hammers of SigmarAventis Firestrike Magister of Hammerhal (360)Knight-Incantor (140)Lord-Arcanum (180)- General- Trait: We Cannot Fail - Artefact: God-forged Blade Lord-Ordinator (140)Knight-Azyros (100)20 x Sequitors (400)- Stormsmite Mauls and Soulshields- 9x Stormsmite Greatmaces5 x Judicators (160)- Skybolt Bows- 1x Shockbolt Bows5 x Sequitors (120)- Stormsmite Mauls and Soulshields- 3x Stormsmite GreatmacesCelestar Ballista (100)Celestar Ballista (100)Celestar Ballista (100)Everblaze Comet (100)Total: 2000 / 2000Extra Command Points: 0Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 112 With the azyros and ordinator dropping from scions with the ballistas you would have 12 shots at 4+ rerolling ones that turn into the d6 shots. Also if you fly over the same target with firestrike you are now hitting on 3+ rerolling ones. I almost think i should just cut the comet and take the fourth ballista for some absolutely nasty shooting.

robinlvalentine Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Sequitors preorder page now up on the NZ store - confirms that there are only four greatmaces in the box, so some conversion will be needed to have them on your Primes too. Looks like there's lots of nice bits in the box, though, and it seems to say that you get enough helmeted and unhelmeted heads to go with all one or all the other if you want https://www.games-workshop.com/en-NZ/Stormcast-Eternals-Sequitors-2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudgeFredd Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Hello everyone (first post here...), I always liked the Judicators with crossbows, bbut, they weren't so good. Now, with the new battletome, I noticed, that they have one shot more. What do you think. Will you be using them more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudgeFredd Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Perhaps even with the Thunderhead Brotherhood. A Judicator Crossbow Unit with a Libarator Unit next to them? Any experiences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
