Thanks, lol. Read the whole post, didn't even see those tags......

I'm playing a 1000pt game against DoK this week. I'm pretty sure I'll be up against Slaughter Queen on Cauldron of Blood, Hag Queen, Bloodwrack medusa, Witch aelves, Doomfire warlocks and Khinerai Heartrenders.

I was thinking of running:

Allegiance: Stormcast Eternals
- Stormhost: None

Realm of Battle
- Shyish

Knight-Incantor (140)
- General
- Trait: Consummate Commander
- Spell: Chained Lightning
- Artefact: Goblet of Draining
Gavriel Sureheart (100)
5 x Judicators (160) with Skybolt Bows and Shockbolt Bow
5 x Liberators (100) with Hammers and Shield, Grandhammer
5 x Evocators (200)
- Spell: Celestial Blades
3 x Evocators on Celestial Dracolines (300)
- Spell: Terrifying Aspect
1000 points

With the DoK all bunched up around the Cauldron of Blood, strategy was to deepstrike Gav and the 2 units of Evocators and use the command ability to get the charge (with Consummate Commander hopefully giving a bonus CP to use for Forward to Victory for the re-roll if it's required), whilst the Incantor, and Judicators target the Cauldron as a priority.

Alternatively, swapping Consummate Commander for Staunch Defender to create a more secure centre and holding off on deepstriking until turn 2 to generate the 2nd command point.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

 

If you want to use gavriels CA you have to take the hammers of sigmar stormhost. So you are stuck with we cannot fail command trait and god-forged blade as artefact

I know, thats why i have 3 ballistas @PJetski

[AoS 2 - Stormcast Eternals Discussion]

Question, looked for a certain answer to the watchful guardian rule but couldnt find one. Can the aetherwings move into 3" of enemy units or nah?

Anyone got a clue?

Hi! I'm building a 2k Anvils list. What do you guys think about swapping azyros and allying in a loremaster?

Hand of glory, casting value 5; reroll failed hit and wound rolls until next hero phase

Edit: Nvm, spell says model so wont buff the whole unit i guess.

So rerolling failed hit and wound rolls for longstrikes both when using cp and in shooting phase. Feels like a solid buff or nah?

5-0 with Anvilstrike this weekend. Swapped the Castellant for Incantor and while the Dispel isn't always necessary, the games where it's clutch are very noteworthy. I didn't miss the save as much as the Gryph Hound, missed that extra free model to zone and hold objectives. 

What list are you playing as anvils?

[AoS 2 - Stormcast Eternals Discussion]

Are you going with a stormhost or SD?

I'd consider swapping incantor for gavriel and the judicators for 5 libs so that you can get a Castellant in aswell.

This swap is for hammers stormhost ofc.
