I'm new to Stormcast, and this thread/community, but really impressed with the acuity, analysis and attitude of the vets. Also very impressed by the army's versatility and quality. Really easy to build and deploy a list that enjoys 3+ or better, and/or dishes out heaps of mortal wounds at range (and spells and effects with infinite range!).

I've got the models for, and have started assembling, this list. Hoping to take it to the biggest Aussie tournament in January. Any criticisms welcome of course:

Allegiance: Stormcast Eternals
Lord-Arcanum on Gryph-Charger (240)
- General
- Trait: Staunch Defender 
- Spell: Chain Lightning
Knight-Incantor (140)
- Celestial Staves (Artefact): Staff of Focus
- Spell: Stormcaller
Knight-Heraldor (100)
10 x Sequitors (240)
- Stormsmite Mauls and Soulshields
- 5x Stormsmite Greatmaces
5 x Sequitors (120)
- Stormsmite Mauls and Soulshields
- 3x Stormsmite Greatmaces
5 x Sequitors (120)
- Stormsmite Mauls and Soulshields
- 3x Stormsmite Greatmaces
10 x Evocators (400)
- 5x Grandstaves
- Lore of Invigoration: Speed of Lightning
2 x Fulminators (240)
Celestar Ballista (100)
Celestar Ballista (100)
Celestar Ballista (100)
Everblaze Comet (100)

Total: 2000 / 2000
Extra Command Points: 0
Allies: 0 / 400
Wounds: 118
 

 

 

 

Not huge fan of the comet, tbh. Stormcast really have to maximize their value as much as they can and don't really have 100pts to spare on a 'maybe' unit. Also, the fulminators don't really add anything. Now that they lost their good breath attack they're firmly in the overpriced category and in this specific case don't really do anything for you. Drop both of those and bump the sequitors up to 20. After that add a Castellant and Chronomatic Cogs.

During the end of last year I picked up a number of Vanguard units.

Is a vanguard themed army playable for regular games. I thought about adding a few ballistas and castigators to complement my raptors.

Is it me or are vanguard hunters for 120 points still ******? It's sad that those are the only battleline units I currently have. 

You could play a list with 3 units of liberators, a lord exorcist, and 11 units of Gryph hounds and probably do okay in a casual game.

And yes, they are absolutely still ****** at 120pts. I have no idea why GW thinks they're better than liberators.

Honestly part of me thinks that models like Morathi will come into their own in a few years time. When the AoS player base is more established and has bigger collections and GW tweaks the points to lower them across the board so that you can fit more on a table for a given points value. 

 

Monsters have, in general, dropped in cost every GHB so far except for the beastclaw nerf that got reverted. I wouldn't be surprised to see her drop in the future.
