Rotten

Thank you @That Guy I hate not having my Battletome here with me at work to look at things and completely overlooked Aventis being a named. Yea I want to build a shooter list. I am trying to lean more on a "Ask a question list" over "Answer question list". Asking list is hey buddy can you handle all of this shooting over the Answer list being oh you have magic I have an answer for that, you have melee charging I have a answer for that...

This list is not complete and but wanted to see what the community thought. I have 140 free points. I want to use the Libs as screens and objective holders. I didn't pick any artifacts. Not sure about grabbing Everblaze or an extra Ballista. Also should I change out Aventis for a cheaper general to free up more points?

@HammerOfSigmar I am pretty sure when I read the BT for the seq's a unit of 5 can have two great mauls and the prime can take mace and shield or Great maul. Which would give the unit 3 Mauls. The host yea I screwed that up completely I have to have that weapon period. Maybe I should have used Hallowed Knights? *edit "to" correction "two"

Had a friendly game with my buddy last night. Here was the list I ran. Allegiance: Stormcast Eternals- Stormhost: Hammers of SigmarLord-Arcanum on Celestial Dracoline (240)- General- Celestial Staves (Artefact): Staff of Azyr- Mount Trait: Pride LeaderKnight-Vexillor (120)- Meteoric StandardKnight-Heraldor (100)10 x Sequitors (240)- Stormsmite Mauls and Soulshields- 6x Stormsmite Greatmaces10 x Sequitors (240)- Stormsmite Mauls and Soulshields- 6x Stormsmite Greatmaces5 x Sequitors (120)- Stormsmite Mauls and Soulshields- 3x Stormsmite Greatmaces10 x Retributors (440)- 4x Starsoul Maces3 x Evocators on Dracolines (300)- 2x Grandstaves- Lore of Invigoration: Celestial Blades5 x Evocators (200)- 4x Grandstaves- Lore of Invigoration: Celestial BladesTotal: 2000 / 2000Extra Command Points: 0Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 127 Pride leader with only 1 set of Dracolines is pretty useless and very cost heavy too. I still have to grasp that my leader and the dracolines are more of a support unit(s) not a roll in guns blazing kick ass take names unit. I lost my leader and Evo's on Draco's at the end of round 1. They should have stayed behind my big blocks of Seq's and came out when needed. Not having any shooting really put me at a huge disadvantage as far as weaken enemies down before they charged in. My golden stars were my Vex and Heraldor. Vex was able to drop Meteoric standard for some early damage to units and the Heraldor sweet horn blast wrecked some units a few times. They provided rerolls for charge and the Run plus charge was pretty sweet. Another big mistake I made was putting my Retribtuors in reserve. Not only did miss my turn 1 deep strike deploy but I didn't put the Vex with them to help provide a re-roll if I needed it for a charge. Lucky for me it wasn't needed I rolled a 11 and got to my target. All in all I am going to have to consider Libs over Seq's if I plan to dump Evo's. Adding in shooting guys is a must. Use Lib lines to protect my support guys as we advance. Ret's are still solid they came in and packed a mean punch just have to be ensured they can make that charge roll or it's for nothing. In total I own about 10 Evo's on foot and 1 set of Evo's on dracolines. I assume I need another Dracoline box and how many more Evo's on foot?

@HammerOfSigmar the Knight Vex is it worth keeping him in that least for the reroll on charge or just use the herald to run and charge instead?

Now I have a better idea why I am so damn confused. So I got the Corebook which was mostly story fluff and SC Battletome and thought I was good to go. I was using a friends GHB at the time of our games but haven't seen it or read any of it and I do not have the Malign Sorcery book at all. Honestly, thought with Battletome I had everything I needed.

Thank you Requizen. I really want to be able to build a list that shows up to the table and does it's job well. I don't have to win and winning isn't the only factor that matters to me. What is important is knowing how to build a list. I have a pretty sizeable army and have some options but building is just doesn't make sense to me it's never been my strong point in any game. I don't know the ends and outs of it. Every list I build is about the same Stormhost - Hammers General - Arcanum on Gryph charger Sequitors x 3 (10 units) Battleline Evocators x2 (5 units) Retributors x2 then I just fill in stuff. I know my Evocators need to be with my Sequitors to give that buff to them. I bought the Evocator Dracoline box and really want to dump that gryph charger to run Arcanum on Draco with 3 evocators running on Draco's. I want to put in Long Strike guys or other units I have. However, I feel like there is a better way or a way to add to my existing list to make it better not just through junk into it. That's the part I don't get.

So if your really new to this game and have new player questions what or where is the best place to ask them? I see the builds you guys put up and I try to build things myself and I don't know how to give my army these badass items to really power them up and build syenergy for my team. I don't even really know the best way to ask a question about how to deal with certain kinds of things. Maybe this forum isn't the best for me I don't know. I have about 5 games under my belt so I know without a doubt I don't know how to build much less how to play above average or even at average.

What is the best way to deal with Khrone juggernauts (guys on silly beast dog things) I fought a champ in a game some months ago and he had a crazy save like 2 or something. I was thinking using 10 Retributors with a Knight-Vexillor. Deep strike in us the Vex to help with a re-roll on the charge to make sure they get in there. Use the Soulstar maces to pump in free mortal wounds to try and kill him off ASAP. But would a knight herald be a better option for running and then charging?

Have to agree here. They are a low cost battleline and open up options to allow me to use other generals but the Hit Wound numbers feel kinda flat. Or give me mortal wound on nat 6 or something?

Very Nice Work! I am no pro painter I just want to get paint on the model and get it on the table. I haven't really messed with bases yet I can come back for those parts

If I have Astreia Solbright can I use her as a lord-arcanum and run that war scroll? Also, I am very new to the Stormcast and keep making some simply mistakes. How many Great Mauls can be used in a unit of 5 Sequitors? I assumed it was 1 Great Maul for 5 but I think I saw something it might be 2 Great mauls for a unit of 5.
