Do you mean he equipped them all with special weapons? The pikes & skyhooks (the guns that do D3 damage) are limited to three special weapons per 10. 

Yes, with the 20 he probably was just shooting with 6 and it was the d3 that blasted me.

Arcanum 

Lord Ordinator

10 Sequitors

2 x 5 Sequitors

2 x Ballista

 Very solid list. 

If you don’t have the Arcanum on foot don’t worry, just proxy in another Sacrosanct Hero (Exorcist, Incantor, Evocator) . Few people are dumb enough to buy a Tauralon for the sake of one figure on foot. 

As someone else has said Arkanauts shouldn’t be a 50/50 split. Max special weapons in a unit of 20 is 6 (3 for every 10).

Only problem with the list you provided is i would need to have arcanum to run the sequitors. I only have one of gryph charger but I'll look at getting one on foot. I'm assuming the 10 sequitors would be split into 5s in order to maintain the 2 minimum battleline?

What was the KO player running?  And what kind of playstyle are you interested in the most? 

For a new player I would personally always advise rule of cool. Especially with stormcast as it has so many options to build decent to very good lists for every playstyle. 

He had a large 20 unit of half shooters half stabbies, a unit of 6 floater guys and a chemist that buffed them. I definitely want to run a mix of shoot/missile but there isn't a good balance at 1000 point then I'm not sure. I just want to be able to hold my own against most meta since most people have already collected good armies.

I played two 1000 point games vs new Khorne over the weekend with this:

Kill everything list:

Lord Ordinator (General) 

Battleline:

1 X 5 Judicators

1 x 5 Liberators

Other:

1 x 10 Evocators (or split as you wish)

2 x Celestar Ballista

1000 points

Missile units will neutralise pretty much any threat at that level and the Evocators will do the same. Not likely to be much left that can shift Judicators or Liberators from objectives while also avoiding the wrath of the Evos and Ballistae. You can just string the Evos out in a big line which I would otherwise never recommend but with their Electric attack bonus at 1000 points they’re basically Jellyfish tentacles.

It’s also 69  (chuckle) wounds behind an army save of base 4 and 3+. 

I went without any Stormhost but in hindsight that was dumb because the general wasn’t anywhere near anyone to give SD because he was buffing the Ballistae. So for real overkill could go for one of them. 

 

 

Since I have a lot of sequitors right now I definitely want to keep them on the field but I'd need arcanum to battle line them. I'm definitely looking at more evocators possibly but I'd have to drop any range at that point I believe. I'm not too sure which is why I'm asking you guys!

Hey guys, brand new player with 3 games now under my belt with my stormcast. I have 2 sets of the soul wars army and an ordinator as well. I'm curious to what you guys would run at 1000 points and then a path to build towards for 2000 points. I can run 2000 points already but I'm thinking of dropping the castigators, replacing evos with mounted evos. What opinions do you guys have on that? One guy I played ran dinos with summoning, another player was KO with heavy range. The dinos were not a real problem but the KOs at 1000 points was a problem for me.

Any and all opinions I would love to hear!
