I could fit a unit of dragons and they do look pretty awesome but I most likely won't be able to buy dragons when they initially release. agreed on reinforcing Hunters. maybe a Castellant for some more staying power? I'd probably pick Scions unless Hunters retained their astral compass teleport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeanfluflu Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I only wish vanguard hunter would have been redeemer, there would have been tons of joke to do by making them TP all over the place counting as 15models on objectives...Etc. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJetski Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 Krondys uses his spell to reduce enemy save rolls by 1 Ally Skink Starseer casts Control Fate to reduce enemy save rolls by 1 Lord-Arcanum casts Geminids (re-rolling with command trait) and moves it an extra 6" to prevent enemy from using All Out Defence Every weapon is now effectively +3 Rend against that target 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcvs Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 small aside but I am really sad that they didn't do anything with the STORMKEEP keyword. I can't find a single mention of the keyword in the BT (apart from the initial rule). CoS units in SCE remain essentially allies plus enhancements minus points limit, so much different than all the interesting stuff you can do with SCE in CoS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people have been hating on Yndrasta, but I think she's been misunderstood. She's not a melee beatstick like Prime is, and I made that mistake at first too. She's a support piece who has the ability to counterpunch pretty hard. In the right list I definitely think she's worth it. Bo Jackson (Bastian) is our new 300 point melee beatstick/anti Garg/anti Archy tech. Drop some Praetors with him and go ham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erdemo86 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Guys i have one question. Can you combine the bodyguard ability of praetors with a ward save? Or does it allready count as ward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, any ability that rolls a dice to ignore a wound for any reason counts as a Ward Any ability that transfers a wound can't be used alongside a Ward Edited September 14, 2021 by PJetski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champasaur Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Important to note, I don’t wanna play too competitive considering none of my local players are building tournament tier armies.

I'd make the Relictor your General and give him High Priest if you don't need anything else specific. You have enough Vindictors to not need the Vigilors to be battleline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elephant_fresh Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I'm massively disappointed with the Stormcast book. I've been waiting years for my Soul Wars sacrosanct army to become playable and sadly that will never be the case. With overpriced units and weak warscrolls I can't see a way for the army to meaningfully play against Lumineth, Seraphon etc. I want to play this game but the risk that any army I buy will get neutered in a future book (re Sylvaneth and Slaanesh) is really holding me back. On an unrelated note I have a stormcast army that is up for sale and painted nicely, PM me if interested 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lengthster Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I think the overall goal, and power level of the new books are pretty good. The only shame is that we'll have to wait years for other armies to be updated to follow the same game design. Even then, how much power creep will we we see? Armies like Lumineth will still be disgusting, and by the time they get a new book, power creep will mean they're still disgusting. Also first forging Stormcast was really bad, now it's Sacrosanct's turn sadly as GW perpetually wants people to buy new stuff. Firstly, sacrosanct was good to get people to buy that, plus the starter sets, now all the people with Sacrosanct armies are left getting first-forging or thunderstrike units. It sucks, but maybe one day my Sacrosanct will be good again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Paladins can make a comeback, Sacrosanct definitely will. I think with so many units and warscrolls it's bound to be cyclical, and being THE army that cycle is fairly rapid. Stick around, enjoy the new stuff, and wait for the old stuff to get reborn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lengthster Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Yeah Warhammer is definitely a long-term hobby, armies get better and worse with new releases and it takes hours to paint your stuff so you just have to roll with it.

Exactly this. I just keep rolling with Stormcast releases and there's always some list that's at least decent. I love Vanguard but it has had very brief days in the sun.

Lengthster Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Also Paladins being really good now means I have an excuse to get some, love the look of protectors a lot. Same goes for the lord relictor, he's even in paladin armour which is so fitting. But maybe I'll give him a helmet swap and remove the spikes from his shoulderpads.
