Persoanlly i paint all over the place. My Evocators are in celestial vindicators, my artillery as Anvils, my Longstrikes are Astral Templar Colors and Sequitors and Liberators are in Hammers of Sigmar.

I like the idea of stormhosts working in conjunction in a battle and you can just clarify what rules youre using to your opponent, before the battle.

that's a great idea! The only question is whether or not I've got the painting chops

Played my first game of AOS ever this weekend! 600 point Escalation game against Ironjawz. I had a Knight-Questor, 10 libs, 1 sequitors, 1 castigators, and a ballista against some boar riders, a glot of ardboys, a megaboss and a chanter.

The ballista and sequitors were incredible! I've been reading this forum often enough to hear people talk them up, but the difference between the Seqs and Libs was immense in person.  The ballista gunned down his boar riders basically by itself while taking a 2+ save in cover- ridiculous!

I'm curious how I should escalate my list upwards, though. I'm painting Hammers and looking for an infantry heavy list, but all the talk of the Anvilstrike list has been tempting me towards the dark (paint) side.

Welcome fellow Celestant!

Number one priority is Lord Castellant, never leave home without this guy making your 30 double-wounded shielded warriors roughly 19% more survivable

Any PRIEST or Knight Vexillor for redeployment (where Vex adds some speed, Veritant gives you a Gryph hound and some way of hurting enemy Wizards, as well as Dispell and Relictor debuffs enemies and heals heroes)

Any PRIEST or Lord Celestant on Dracoth or Lord Ordinator for managing battleshock (Both priests perform same rolls as above, but take different prayer, two Lords having fearless bubble) (any other hero will do as well)

Sequitors for attack buff and being offencive monsters themselves, other Wizards for Azyrite Halo spell (and dispells!)

Some shooting to blast foes from afar whille Libs tank it or fast units such as Dracolines or Dracoths to go through opponent's flanks into the rear. 

Also you can always go for MORE redeemer conclave tankiness by taking 20 sequitors that won't have as bad damage output.

Thanks for the advice! Would you recommend going for a big blob of sequitors, or more paladins? Lord Castellant is definitely next on the list

Hi All! I'm new to the hobby, on a budget, and loving the look and flavor of our favorite heavily armored warrior bros. As a new painter as well as burgeoning hobbyist, SCEs seem like a great place to start. I'm already scouring ebay and my local store for models, but I wanted some frank advice. I'm a competitive person by nature, and while my goal is not to make the cheapest "tournament" list, it is to make a list that can win some games when I start playing. I am looking for recommendations about lords/heroes to work with what I have.

My models so far;

-Knight Incantor (140)

-Lord Celestant on Dracoth (240 IIRC)

-30 Liberators (520)

-3 Castigators (80) 

-5 Sequitors (120)

-1 Celestar Ballista (100)

-2 Evocators (5 is 200 points, I'm looking for the extra 3 on ebay)

Any advice for a new player, recommendations for pickups, or general tactical advice about SCE in AOS is welcome.

 

 

TL:DR: what elites, lords and heros  compliment a liberator heavy army core?
