Hey all, not sure if there is a specific thread for SCE lists but since this is the main discussion of our golden heroes I thought I’d post here. I wanted to share a list I’ve run a few times with a fair bit of success, including a few solid smashings of the enemy that made me feel a lot better about this book. I’ve seen a few other posters online with roughly similar lists, so I’m curious if I’m on the right track and want your insights. It focuses around our new units:
Lord-Arcanum on Gryph-Charger with Soul Thief (Anvils compulsory relic ewww)
Lord-Castellant with Lens of Refraction
Knight-Incantor
20 Sequitors, 9 Greatmaces
5 Sequitors, 3 Greatmaces
5 Sequitors, 3 Greatmaces
5 Evocators
5 Evocators
Celestar Ballista
Celestar Ballista
Everblaze Comet
Cleansing Phalanx Battalion
1940/2000
It’s 7 drops, and deploys with the 2 small units of Sequitors and Ballista in the realm of heavens. I keep the unit of 20 Sequitors around the heroes to prevent Endless Spells being placed in amongst my deathball and run them forward with the 2x5 Evocators.
I can buff the Sequitors up to 3+/reroll1s to shooting, ignoring each cast of d3 magic MWs via the Lens. For a CP, I can make one of the Evocators auto-cast an undispellable Empower on the Sequitors, making them re-roll hits, wounds and saves for a turn. For another CP, I can make them all attack again in the hero phase. The 11 dudes with Mauls are meatshields for the 9 Sequitors with the Greatmaces. 19x 3+/3+/-1/D2 with full rerolls, who absolutely wreck anything it can get up to.
Aside from that, the small 5 man Sequitors deepstrike to tie up shooting units or hunt small units that are far away. The 2 Ballistae deepstrike as needed, either onto objectives (ideally in cover) or to blast something close up.
I start with 2 CP so I can always use one for Inspiring Presence on the 20 Sequitors in an emergency, or can re-roll a charge if needed.
The three heroes compliment each other really well: The LAoGC and KI provide redundancy for casting the Everblaze, and the Castellant is a really points-efficient “bodyguard” and buffing hero.
ALL GLORY TO SIGMAR!
