Edit- I just remembered I wanted to ask- how do I make the ballistas more accurate? Ordinator obviously, but I head people here having them hit on 2+s. Just can't remember how.

Cheers

 

I only know of the celestial hurricanum which gives +1 to hit additionally to the Lord O.

I do not think it is normal to think of the stormhost rules as easily interchangeable as something like spell lores, as I feel that picking your stormhost is often one of the first steps to choosing an army theme and paint scheme.

Hmm that's an interesting statement but why are you deliberately limiting yourself? My guess is HoS are "the stormhost" is because they are on every boxart and a lot of people just paint that ( which is perfectly fine! ) . I for example didn't like the blue and went all screamer pink instead of the blue and I didn't know any of the stormhosts well when I made that decision. And now I am happy that I can change things up when I switch to a different stormhost. I just wished I skipped on the gold armor, turned out painting metallics is a real pita for me

I kinda feel like you want to have separate "chapters" like the space marines have with their own books?

Anyhow a few more weeks and we will all know in which direction GW is sending us 😆

[AoS 2 - Stormcast Eternals Discussion]

I wouldn't bet on the GHB19, SCE are still a great beginner army which do well-ish in the normal space of games. And I kinda think GW wants them to be there.  But we will see 😆

Good thing - at least for me - I stopped caring about tournament viability , as we have no AOS tourneys here in vienna  

But fun fact, the guy how defended his bobo title switched to DOK list, and I remember the outcry last year where everyone was raging about OP Gav Bomb... Kinda says everything

[AoS 2 - Stormcast Eternals Discussion]

To be honest that is not bad actually

The rule for the forbidden power is released, it seems that every army can bring the engine as their own fraction terrain.

Kinda feels a little like pay2win ☺️

Hearthguard Berzerkers at 120 make me look at sequitors and people calling them broken like "wtf are you talking about"

Sequitors and Evocators do NOT deserve an increase in pts after this 30 hearthguard BS

I am prepared for the worst and hope for the best

It's already arguably a better option than Longstrikes so it wouldn't be a big change 😂 

Hmm in what constellation would Judis be better? Crossbow? with VW battallion? I don't see it

[AoS 2 - Stormcast Eternals Discussion]

Thanks, overread the unmodified

[AoS 2 - Stormcast Eternals Discussion]

Question regarding look out sir and longstrike hero sniping, am I correct that the -1 to hit makes it kinda impossible to trigger the 2 MW on a 6?

Aetherwings blocking charges

Mine will be ready soonish for battle  but having 2d6 movement for the block means they need to stay close in order to be reliable?

How is it that wiping out enemy generals turn 1 with 3+ Ballistae, autocharging Evocator bombs or unkillable super-dragons are fine,

Mentioning the drake has me thinking you are joking :)

In my opinion, most  SCE units are overcost. Non-SCE player tends to think sequitor and evocators are undercost when they just come out, but with the new release model's point lower and lower than their old counterpart, I hope their points just don't change. 

Overcost maybe a bit too much. And thank god GW brings this 1000 point game mode, which - I think - could spare us some nerfs in the 2k range.

Currently looking at adding another 16 Sequitors and 6 Evocators,

I would defintely go for this, allows you to field a unit of 10 Evos, and 20 5 5 Sequitors. You will even have enough if you want to field "Cleansing Phalanx" battalion ( 2 Evos, 2 Seqs ) .

Then wait for the new Generals Handbook which is due in june and from there you can then further refine.

[So, what do we think of the new Contrast paints?]

Everything which brings us more painted minis on the table is good. So +1 for GW there. Still hate the pots though

[AoS 2 - Stormcast Eternals Discussion]

I hope they replaced their play testing team with actual competent persons, else I see no hope for GHB19.

[Warcry is Killteam/Mordheim... ?]

Man I hope this Warcry will be good, I am gonna try lure my better half into the hobby with it

[AoS 2 - Stormcast Eternals Discussion]

Regarding color schemes, you think i could run into troubles ( tournament wise )when i do a few units in another scheme then my custom one? I can‘t stand the gold anymore -.-

Khorne. Against all my other buddies it's a cheesy meme, but when three bloodthirsters go flying at it half the army is gone including the drake.

Kinda sounds like you got roflstomped from skarbrand turn 2 😬

Our ability to deny magic is a huge problem for them. 

Can confirm, had 5 casts failed literally all 😂

Painting an fully assembled terrorgheist is the worst experience I ever had in painting minis 🤮. The only good thing about it, I have a big model now to test stuff out and learn. The other ones will be definetely be sub assemblies.

I use him in my Anvilstrike list. For 20 points he is a good upgrade from a Relictor.

What’s his purpose?

So, no one brings Lord-Veritant these days?  What is his drawback comparing to Lord-Relictor?

Hmm I don’t like either... heraldor, castellant, azyros, gav , vexillor are all somewhat more useful to me.

Am I correct to hate myself for having used black primer although I need to mostly base zandri dust / caliban green 🤮

I messed up and moved my Dracolines too far up. On his turn he buffed up and moved up. He cast Cogs with turned out to benefit me A LOT in later turns. I then won initiative and gave him the double turn. He charged in, killed the Dracolines and killed half the Sequitors.

Hmm kinda sounds you gave the game away here?  Cogs + DT feels like you could have killed a lot from him? edit, forgot about the Gristle  CA

But cool report   and awesome to see evos on dracos 😍

Miasmal Shroud: Easy to cast, and in my tests it was really reliable to give something the -1hit

At first I was like that guy is crazy, then I remembered math and turns out 42% isn‘t really that bad , thanks for making me think 👌
