I feel like stormcast have too many 1 damage weapons. Like why does the Lord celestant on foot have only one damage weapons.     With how the Lore talks about their weapons, you think they actually be able to do something impressive.                                                                                                                               If liberators had two damage weapons would they be broken?

Hmm he has like 8 attacks on a charge ,6 normal,and an mortal wound aoe , imho not bad for a 100point hero.

20 models on 40mm bases is too big of a footprint. They seem really good until you get into a game and get double flanked and cant pile in.

Im falling out of love with Sequitors 

Hmm could you sketch this? Shouldn’t that be solveable with smart model removal? I would actually love having them flanked, means i can lock up 2 units. 

 

Edit: found this: https://aos-tactics.com/2017/01/17/getting-the-most-out-of-the-charge/

However I don't see a issue here, the rules don't force me to fully pile in ( as close or closer to nearest model )  I could still get more in combat and maintain cohesion.

How would SCE  tackle a death army with Nagash , 2 other heros which can revive models and 2 40er unit skeletons and 30 from those reapers? 

Killing the blobs should not be an issue for evos or sequitors, however that CA which allows them to 100% re-spawn a whole unit is kinda meh. Deep-striking Nagash works only in theory now, killing the other 2 heros could work via an deep-strike but will only hinder their unit restocking .

Another thing which really annoys me, is that we basically have to field blobs too, charging those 40er skeleton units with our "elite" mini units is suicide and will also not work for model count objectives.

What are your thoughts / experiences with on this topic? 

[AoS 2 - Stormcast Eternals Discussion]

Don‘t think so ,it says wounds allocated. As i understand it you could only heal up already allocated wounds , not the ones you are about to receive.

[AoS 2 - Stormcast Eternals Discussion]

Thx, I might buy me one just to play this list, sounds super funny

Wait,  @Thor the Staunch Defender does also apply to the Model which has the trait? 

[AoS 2 - Stormcast Eternals Discussion]

@ThorHaha that does sound like fun   What did you use as BL? 

[AoS 2 - Stormcast Eternals Discussion]

Based on my 3 games I had and the Info I got in here I came up with this list:

Allegiance: Stormcast Eternals
- Stormhost: Hammers of Sigmar
Lord-Arcanum on Gryph-Charger (240)
- General
- Trait: We Cannot Fail 
- Artefact: God-forged Blade 
Gavriel Sureheart (100)
Lord-Castellant (100)
20 x Sequitors (400)
- Stormsmite Mauls and Soulshields
- 9x Stormsmite Greatmaces
20 x Sequitors (400)
- Stormsmite Mauls and Soulshields
- 9x Stormsmite Greatmaces
5 x Sequitors (120)
- Stormsmite Mauls and Soulshields
- 3x Stormsmite Greatmaces
10 x Evocators (400)
- 10x Grandstaves
- Lore of Invigoration: Celestial Blades
20 x Skinks (120)
- Meteoric Javelins & Star Bucklers
- Allies

Total: 1880 / 2000
Extra Command Points: 2
Allies: 120 / 400
Wounds: 158

Will test it this weekend.

Basic Idea is to have 3CP when I start , that is a 100% charge for the  Evos, forcing my opponent to think. If he thinks and deploys good I am kinda saving them for the 5+ Sequitor Revive later on.

[AoS 2 - Stormcast Eternals Discussion]

Haha, got my ass "whooped" yesterday from Ironjawz. got crushed 1st turn from 18 Gore Gruntas.

Was a interesting game, I realized how important proper deployment is  , next time I face an alpha strike army I surely will try to deploy better and not rely too much on deep striking. 

Evocators also under performed due to sub par dice rolls and the missing -1 rend is a thing on a 4+ save enemy  will try 5 sword 5 staff next time. 

[AoS 2 - Stormcast Eternals Discussion]

Maybe I need to get used to that  But my Prime and 5 Sequitors were also the only ones to live

Why do you feel that's sad? 

Because , i couldn’t see me winning without objectives. If he had just 1 hero more - game over. 

[AoS 2 - Stormcast Eternals Discussion]

Had my 2nd game yesterday and I think I won because I killed all my opponents heros and he had 0 VP and BP said you need heros for capturing ? but he would have tabled me if we had continued.

That’s kinda sad tbh.

[AoS 2 - Stormcast Eternals Discussion]

@Mark Williams when you scion the raptors in does the +3 to attacks apply? Technically they didnt move ?

[OscarLars Painting Stuff - Ossiarch Bonereaper Update!]

Damn those sce look awesome 

[AoS 2 - Stormcast Eternals Discussion]

I wonder if the knight-venator is a good choice? Or should I pack a unit judicators instead?

[AoS 2 - Stormcast Eternals Discussion]

I guess the skinks are there for blocking alpha strikes
