Recommended Posts

Behold, my shiny and exotic creations!
So I've got a few models I want to try, like the Errant Questor that I bought second hand (it means it's well painted ha!), so i'm going to lay down silly lists with silly combos mixed in with some less silly stuff.
Feel free to chime in!

Clocks in at 1970 points when all reductions applied.
1 drop army, but you're not forced to drop them altogether, you can have some of them starting on the table.
If you're not facing a 1 drop army, you could :
- give your opponent first turn. Depending on what he's got on the table and if he can make a T1 charge or not, you can just leave the judicators and prosecutors on the table. He moves, you shoot him in your hero phase with the two units. then you drop accordingly your melee units.
- you take first turn, you drop everything on his face at an advantageous position, trying to apply maximum pressure with shooting, then charge, between shooting and melee + bravery debuff, it's going to be funky for his battleshock tests.

1990 points. The goal of that one is to hope the enemy is going to bunker up. Then rain down upon him all of Sigmar's wrath, either T1 or T2 ( 3 vexillors = possible 9 MW in a 2D6 range, albeit just once). Heraldors could aso be used instead of Vexillors since their worth doesn't degrade after seeing use. Furthermore, their shooting ability takes place in the movement phase, so you can deepstrike them then use your ability, which is depending on terrain ( sad face).

Clocks in at 1990 points. Tauralon to boost shooting hit chance by +1. Another possibility would be to remove 5 judicators, and take a relictor instead for "Bless weapons".

@Nizrah What about this list?

So I have been trying to make up some lists using models I own and battalions available.

Everybody is rightfully afraid of our heroes being sniped by either MW or high volume shooting with the recent armies.
What could we do to prevent that ?

One way to do it is to have a one drop army list. So far we've got usable at 2000 points

- Vanguard mega battalion. But no magic. No priest either, Azyros for rr1. Seems like the most powerful.
- Skyborne Slayers. +1 to hit bubble with LC, no magic, no priest.
- Warrior brotherhood. +1 to hit bubble with LC, no magic, no priest but AZyros for rr1, or Vexilor/Heraldor/Venator.

One of the problem we face is that if we play one of those one drop list, we're stuck with a very thematic and restrained chamber.
All of them lack access to support (magic, prayers) if you want a one drop army.

Can we get a two drop army to do that ? Nope. So our only way to have a mix of this stuff is to go for a three or four drop list or go the full "we don't care about our drops list", right ?

You can go for 2 drops with Skyborne slayers and add an incantor / a veritant / a kroak -but then you are practically only running MSUs, so don't know if that's viable

Check out the last list posted in here. 20 Judicators +10 Judicators and a Tauralon.

Yeah, not sure about the choice of the tauralon (the +1 flyover is quite difficult to use in practice and generally means suicide :D ), but I agree with general idea

Yeah. It's either a Tauralon for +1 to hit, or a relictor for exploding dices on 6. But the exploding dices are less interesting outside a Vanguard Wing. But then, we're at 3/4 drops, not two.

Just for giggles, added a bunker GA : Order list. Like a CoS HH one, but with less synergy albeit with TECLIS!
What do you guys think ? Enough screens to withstand a turn 1 Changehost then retaliate ? Would it be better to switch to liberators knowing those wardens will surely end dead ?

LCoD is 2+ with LC's light, reroll 1's, ignore rend 1.
Relictor can heal LCoD and cast bless weapons on judicators. Castellant protects (like the Emperor) with the reroll unmodified 6's to hit during shooting phase.
Heraldors are droped where convenient for D3MW fuckery.


Alternative would be to swap one heraldor for vexilor but to do that you need to downgrade the LCoD to a LC. If you do then crossbows judi over bolts one because TP would mean no problem with range.

3 drops so there's a good chance you'd go first and wreck faces. Quite mobile for objective taking with the Prosecutors.

What do  you guys think ?

i found that xbolt judicators dont work well with a lord relictor but bow judicators are awsome. Its cause of the range so would keep the bow dudes. I like how the new points make this list possible but i dont think its strong cause its 1 treath and thats 20 juds. Would love 2 treaths atleast:)

Thanks for your input. Yes, it's only one threat on the table, alas, there's not much to be done when we try to take battalions for less drops possible!
IF drops aren't a concern then it could be working as a different list. There's around 500 points that could be spent on a second threat unit, but then, we have more drops and if we go for more drops route, then why not go Starcast ^^

@Maturin Have you tested it? Do you actualy menaged effectivly fly over and over with tauralon? 

I tried a 20PG unit against IJ backed by 2*10 Handgunners during a 1500game a few month ago. It survives thé charge of a Mawcrusha and a 6man GoreGunta unit, but hé had shot thé Handgunners behind. I then raides 6of them. You should have Seen his face( COS HH). So even in an SCE liste it Can bé powerful, especially with th -1 to be hit. Concerning thé Tauralon, I didn't play it yet because of the Covid. Maybe you could try on-line ?

I've made a wonky list on paper. Goes like this :

 

Allegiance: Stormcast Eternals

LEADERS

Lord-Aquilor (170) - General

Celestial Hurricanum With Celestial Battlemage (280) - Allies

 

UNITS

18 x Castigators (420)

18 x Castigators (420)

5 x Vanguard-Hunters (100) - Boltstorm Pistols and Shock Handaxes

5 x Vanguard-Hunters (100) - Boltstorm Pistols and Shock Handaxes

5 x Vanguard-Hunters (100) - Boltstorm Pistols and Shock Handaxes

 

ARTILLERY

Celestar Ballista (110)

Celestar Ballista (110)

 

BATTALIONS

Soulstrike Brotherhood (120)

 

TOTAL: 1930/2000

 

So... the Soulstrike Brotherhood give +1  ranged attack to any sacrosant unit that turn if ANY unit from the vanguard hunter is on the battlefield when they drop. With that in mind, that mean that each Castigator unit will be shooting 36 attacks.

 

With the Hurricanum in range, that could mean 36 attacks, 2+ to hit (re-roll 1 for good measure), 3+ to wound, -2 rend (with castigator Aetheric Channeling). The two balistas are only here for grazy.

 

Efficient shooting? Check.

Wonky list? Check.

Efficient? Probably not. 😄
