No it's actually worse now unfortunately, because the model is no longer slain so doesn't trigger the new effects like Blaze. It just allows you negate a wound when that wound would ordinarily slay the model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crux Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Hmm, but Tauralons did get mount traits finally, so it's not all doom and gloom (shame about cycle, they could at least allow us to explode, for extra flavour and utility). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarrWolves Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Is Cycle of the Storm a ward now? Meaning it doesn't work if you already tried to negate a wound, with the Hammers of Sigmar ability for instance? (then it would be useless for Aventis) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kozokus Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Meh. Is High priest translocation still a must? I don't see anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macrake Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Our only good command trait is now as bad as the other three. It now requires a stardrake general and only affects stardrakes, krondys and karazai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even if you go by the wording in the app, it's just choose to negate a wound. A ward is specifically a die roll with a chance of negating a wound.

You can see a similar ability on Mannfred's armour. So both Cycle and Mannfred allow a Ward roll before you choose to activate the ability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStreicher Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 The translocation nerf is just bad. Maybe they should "FAQ" all of the command abilities and some warscrolls first before removing the few tools (apart from Dragons) the army has.

PJetski Posted October 20, 2021 Author Share Posted October 20, 2021 App is irrelevant; only the battletome and its errata actually matter The copy/paste of 2nd edition FAQ is perplexing, but not a surprise from these smoothbrain interns they call the FAQ team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The World Tree Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Translocation isn't a nerf, it is a correction of what everyone should have known would be the rules... Don't forget that Stormcast have been performing VERY well with a wide variety of lists. Most without a relictor and half of the release! We have a good book at the moment, not perfect, but good. 3 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As translocation was forgotten by a few FAQ already many of us believed it was intentional. This even more because al other movement tricks where nerfed or removed. We havent got a wide variety of lists doing well? we only got a few tournament data and our own data that we discus here. On tournament data we have 1 lists with a relictor 4 fulms and 6 longstrike. Yes this list can function without the relictor but no where near as good. And a knight judicator spam list. Other lists are insert translocation relictor and teleport protectors or imperitant annihilator swarm. Its really not that wide of a variation when you look at how insane amount of troop and hero choise we have. Good? mayb but mostly pretty boring.

Sagittarii Orientalis Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Time will tell. There is still not much tournament data. As of now I admit that top placing stormcast lists are rather diverse, although the sample size is too small. However I believe many stormcast lists at tournaments would more or less be shoehorned into rosters depending even more heavily on shooting. In this regard, I think the winning list by Tom Mawdsley at Mencunian Carnage(where translocation was "nerfed" by TOs) is prophetic as it best describes the competitive stormcast lists without translocation: Plenty of high quality shooting with liberator meat shields. Release of stormdrake guard would change such trend, but even then the lists would be polarised into shooting heavy lists and stormdrake galore lists. Let's hope I am proven wrong.

Doesn't seem boring... personally, with "boring" I don't mean "there's only one list that can win". For me boring is more that there's no tricks left in the book, apart from a handful of new units (dragons moving in the hero phase, imperatant for the 7" deepstrike). Other than that, it's just a series of good pretty straightforward warscrolls (raptors, fulminators...). Right now I miss playing (and never doing better than 3-2 in a serious tournament mind you!) with the Starcast list or going full Skyborne Slayers to drop some ****** units (the old warrior chamber) 5" away from the opponent. Maybe I just need to find something that speaks to me but I feel that there isn't much left to explore already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStreicher Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Stormcast win by brute force as it seems. There isn’t much finesse sadly (all the cool abilities were deleted from warscrolls and the Magic is mostly damage or minor buffs, nothing interesting imo). well at least we‘ve got the explosion on death rule Edited October 20, 2021 by JackStreicher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readercolin Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Hmm... This seems highly relevant: Page 107 – Command Traits, Master of the Celestial Menagerie Change the rule to: ‘If this general has the Behemoth battlefield role and is on the battlefield, subtract 1 from wound rolls for attacks made with melee weapons that target friendly Stormcast Eternals units that have the Behemoth battlefield role.’ Previously, it said: ‘If this general is a Monster and is on the battlefield, subtract 1 from wound rolls for attacks made with melee weapons that target friendly Stormcast Eternals Monsters.’ Prior to this, stormcast had the following monsters: Stardrakes, the new Named Dragons, Taurelions, the Knight-Draconis, and Stormdrake Guard. This meant that the old wording gave all of those -1 to wound in melee. However, the only Behemoths that Stormcast have are Stardrakes and the new named dragons. Which means that if you run a stardrake, you can run this command ability to give him -1 to wound in melee... and that is about it. This takes it from situationally good to "why bother?" Yes, it was questionably OP to have it affect Stormdrake Guard (of course, without them being released yet it is hard to say for certain that it would have really been OP). However, they could have very easily changed it to "affects Monster Hero's" if stormdrake guard were the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
