  1. I need some help dealing with Nighthaunt. I mostly play against one Nighthaunt opponent and I have been struggling against his list. He run 3x9 spirit host with 2 mourngul, lady Olynder and a lord executioner equipped with lens of refraction. The fact that his whole army ignores rend and dish mostly mortal wounds seems to hard counter everything I trow at him.

    Any tips on handling that opponent as a stormcast. Tonight I tried an big phalanx comp with teleports.  It went OK at first, one brick of sequitor with empower and the vindicator CA almost wiped a whole unit of spirit host in one sweep but I eventually got overwhelmed. This is what I used :

    Allegiance: Stormcast Eternals
    - Stormhost: Celestial Vindicators

    Leaders
    Lord-Arcanum on Gryph-Charger (240)
    - General
    - Trait: Single-minded Fury
    - Artefact: Stormrage Blade
    Lord-Relictor (100)
    - Prayer: Translocation
    Knight-Vexillor (120)
    - Pennant of the Stormbringer
    - Treasured Standard (Artefact): Pennant of Sigmaron
    Knight-Heraldor (100)

    Battleline
    20 x Sequitors (400)
    - Stormsmite Mauls and Soulshields
    20 x Sequitors (400)
    - Stormsmite Mauls and Soulshields
    5 x Sequitors (120)
    - Stormsmite Mauls and Soulshields

    Units
    5 x Evocators (200)
    5 x Evocators (200)

    Battalions
    Cleansing Phalanx (120)

    Total: 2000 / 2000

    Allies: 0 / 400
    Wounds: 142

    I very much appreciate the advice Nos. This will be my first real  competitive game and I am very exited to bring my stuff. I think I did a good job painting my warriors. I'll post pics and results. The tournament is on the 23rd  this month. Just started this hobby and I must say... I love it!

    If you wanted to go for two Ballistae I’d be tempted to sack the Castellant for a Celestant, March him and his half of the Sequitors up the table and then when you’re within charge range drop the two Ballistae within 9” of the target unit, or, if they’re within 18 inches of your original objective, drop them there. They will be shooting on 5’s  but between 8 shots with them, D6 MW shots with war cloak, LC and 10 Sequitors hitting on 2 and re-rolling misses there’s not much going to be left standing after that. Next turn you can run up the ballista with a CP if you dropped it on that side of the table and then you have the rest of the game to shoot 8 shots at anything while your Celestant Sequitor unit can threaten another objective or go back and camp the one at base. If you give your LA Dais instead of Pendulum then you’ve a good chance of getting 2 dispels, and also the 12” fly means you can get them around nice and easy with a 2+ save. If you were to say give them Celestial Blades as a spell if you get that off you gurantee whatever you cast it on will make a big mess.

    With a Castellant and General with SD you’re basically committing yourself to defence, in terms of making the most of what your army has. Nothing wrong with that but you’re unlikely to win games by waiting people out. You’ll be hard to kill but most AOS games prioritise sacrifice for objectives over keeping units whole but static.

    That looks like an interesting strategy, I would have to get/paint a celestant but that should not be a problem. I do have the Dais Arcanum but was under the impression that LA cant use it. Unless there is an errata I missed? The scroll says it cant be used by units with 6 or more HP, LA has 6. I could also ditch the Pendulum and take Asteia Solbright instead of LAoF, I would not run Hammers but she still looks strong without he CA.

    If LA can hop on dais with staunch defender would that not make him almost invincible except for mortal wounds?


    Could you elaborate on what the other half of the sequitors would be doing during that battle.  I'm assuming camping my base objective.

  4. Thanks Nos, Do you think going with your suggestion and 2 ballista + Pendulum for the other 240 would be viable? I also have Lord arcanum on dracoline and some dracoline evocators, they would give me more mobility but they feel hard to fit in a 1000 point army.

     

    How about 2 brick of 20 sequitor and the lord arcanum 😀

    I'm going to a small 16 player tournament soon. It's the first time I am going to play more competitively. This is the list I came up with. I think it looks strong, any advises would be great. I never played any objective games before.

    I made a mistake for the leaders, I'm taking Lord-Castellant  not  Lord-Celestant.

     

    Side note, can you edit post on this forums?

  7. I'm a new Warhammer player. I started playing a few months ago. I made a new Stormcast list and would like opinions on it. I'm only playing with a few friends and have not started playing anything competitive yet.

    The idea behind this list is to have a heavy charge of Dracoline to capture an enemy objective while sequitors guard mine. As support I have of a scion of 3 ballista with an Ordinator to delete high priority enemy hero and provide some nice range damage. I'm not 100% sure about the artifact I chose, I like the idea of a few free mortal wounds with the Luminary Rod. And if the Aetherquartz Brooch can give me 1 extra command point for one more  Pack Alpha I think it would be worth it.

     

    Anyway here is the list

    Leaders
    Lord-Arcanum on Celestial Dracoline (240)
    - General
    - Trait: Staunch Defender
    - Artefact: Luminary Rod
    - Spell: Chain Lightning
    - Mount Trait: Pride Leader
    Lord-Ordinator (140)
    - Artefact: Aetherquartz Brooch

    Battleline
    10 x Sequitors (240)
    - Tempest Blades and Soulshields
    - 5x Stormsmite Greatmaces
    10 x Sequitors (240)
    - Tempest Blades and Soulshields
    - 5x Stormsmite Greatmaces
    5 x Sequitors (120)
    - Tempest Blades and Soulshields
    - 3x Stormsmite Greatmaces

    Units
    3 x Evocators on Dracolines (300)
    - 3x Grandstaves
    3 x Evocators on Dracolines (300)
    - 3x Grandstaves
