    I also really enjoyed the Throne of Skulls in Düsseldorf. Had a Lot of fun with my four-ballistas-and-an-ordinator-party-block. Dropping such a thing in the back of an opponent forced him to turn back and so away from the mission objectives. 

    Can 4 barista be holy within 9’’ of the ordinator?

    Correct. It's one of the half baked things of the Hammers of Sigmar stormhost rules - they've got all these heroes, but if you use one as your general you miss out on the Hammers command trait.

    Yeah that’s the thing ... I must use another one as a general just to have the benefits :( 

    was hoping there was a small window to pull something without another one but ....

    You don't have any command trait, so it's better to let the lord arcanum be your general

    The “we cannot fail” is a command trait of the stormhost ok ? So Aventis is a named character and he can’t take it am I right ? Or I am a total noob and I don’t see how I can do it :)

    Yeah, thats what I was getting at.   I guess I just don't get why they changed it, I doubt  it was tearing up anyones meta, just a useful, cool ability that worked well in a Dracoth heavy list.  Oh well, new edition-new army build, now what should take the place of those 440 points that just got freed up in my list?

    My though exactly ;)

    I guess the choice is related to what the rest of the list looks like a) and b) They have entirely different roles, at least  in my books.

    LAoT is a more of ''all around-er'' model- he's a caster, buffs shooters in your army if fly overs something, and he can hunt small units/enemy 5wound heroes. Preferably isolated ones. He can tank in a bit,but only with Mystic Shield up.

    LCoSD is our tried, tested, and reliable Behemoth/Hero. I have face-tank countless 40man Skeletons, 30man Vulkites, Skaven hordes - to name a few. And wiped them out eventually. Stardrake also, has the famous ability(shooting) of putting pressure in every 5wound enemy Hero model on the board-no range, no line of sight, no questions asked. 

     

    All that being said, there is a good pts difference there. They are not ''identical'' pieces,  in any way. The ''seem'' identical, they aren't.

     

    But hey, why don't you try both in a list..??  Huge pts investment , but you gonna have your own conclusions.

    Yeah I think I will buy them both eventually ... but I think I ll start with the arkanum cause I like to see him how he will perform :) as you said the Star drake is well known by now so he is a solid buy but the 120€ are a lot too :)

    First list: join all the Longstrikes in a single unit and make your army Anvils of the Heldenhammer. Shoot 18 Longstrike shots per turn ;)

    Second list: if the Arcanum id the general, he must carry the Command trait, not the Drakesworn.

    Wow that would be devastating ! 

    Lists are creating in my head as we speak of ranged splendor :)

    I am confused :( 

    can evocators cast spell like any wizard can (mystic shield etc) 

    or they can only cast empower ? 

    Mans if they can only cast empower why in the azyr app and their warscroll it has the rules of casting mystic shield and I can choose from the lore of the storm spells ?
