It seems strange that they would leave the one market they own a complete monopoly in behind, so hopefully they wont.
I don't think they will, especially with Apocalypse being re-released for 40k. Their goal should be to have a variety of methods to choose to play, which seems to be what's happening even if balance still needs hammering out. This is most evident in the fact that Underworlds and Warcry models are/will be usable in AOS.

I don't actually think it's AoS, I think this and some of the past rumour engine pics, namely the scaly tail, are elder exodites.
I've no back up for this, just speculation but would be cool.
Looks more like a White lion to me

I will be finishing my vanguard-raptors with aetherwings, and painting (at least) my first mini after 10 years...

And obviously..... Badass.
How badass is it if you have a unit of immortal soldiers wiped out to MW through fight first 🤣
I guess my issue with being a new player is...price tag that comes with a wide unit range. Yes SCE are versatile, but I just heard that GW prices are going up again. I don't have the money to buy enough units to mix and match, especially when it feels like we need basically ALL of the Stormcast heroes. Maybe that means I should be playing casually anyway! Doesn't feel too great though. This is why I like the Meeting Engagements; 1k lists, easy to swap around, seems like they will be more tactical than relying on certain 'gimmicks' armies need 2000 points for.

I'll keep this in mind, sometimes it can be easy to forget forums skew competitive. It's definitely nice to get advice on which units to look at/purchase first, though the hobby part is what I enjoy most (even when the dang stormcast torsos slip around!)

If your win rate with Stormcast in tournaments is under 70%, it's you, and it's ok.

I don't understand how you're "supposed" to win 70% of games, and it certainly sounds elitist to proclaim that anyone playing a certain faction should have that level of winrate or ~you're bad~

No, It's SCE half of old Starter set with Khorne, so all models are Easy To Build and don't have any options
I bought some javelin bits, can i use these on that kit's prosecutors?
-
Question about kits for y'all... does Thunderstrike Brotherhood come with javelin option for the prosecutors? It seems to only have hammers for the liberators and paladins
-
what does WAAC stand for?
-
I really do like the Vanguard Chamber...I wish there was more play between it and Sacrosanct!! Good to know this list was doable, just got some longstrikes to go with my Soul Wars
Actually looking at this again, you probably want to fit an Incantor in there so you can unbind enemy spells, which would be a big issue outside casual I think

Knight Incantor might be better come to think of it. Best spells for this setup?
I plan on running chain lightning for matched 1k, and I was told lightning blast is best for Meeting Engagements. Whatever you take, Incantors seem to be best on offense casting. I give my LA the Halo for support since you want him near infantry for the heal anyway.

Those that you called "warrior" are actually Strike chambers and they consist of Warrior, Exemplar and Harbringer chambers
And I really like the chamber-based battle trait idea, I'd say, for Strike Chambers it should be +1 CP at the begining of the game if general is Lord-Celestant, 6++ to Liberators and Paladins and reroll 1s to wound with missle weapons for Judicators and Prosecutors if enemy unit is within 3" of Liberator or Paladin unit
Went to the wiki to double check this, we have THREE more unopened chambers
- Ruination Chamber
- Covenant Chamber
- Logister Chamber
-Ruination sounds like it must be Artillery, possibly larger city-destroying spells? Maybe some actual behemoths from Azyr's wilds too.
-Covenant immediately strikes me as a Sisters mirror, probably a healing chamber? Whatever it is, I'm down for all ladycast armies.
-Logister may not have a board presence besides support heroes, as logistics is more battle table than battle field.I really need Ruination and Covenant chambers to be opened...

Lord ordinator - 140
5 sequitors (blades & shields, 3 maces inc prime) - 130
5 sequitors (blades & shields, 3 maces inc prime) - 130
2 celestar ballistae - 220
5 evocators (grandstaves) - 220
-How do you have blades from the Soul Wars box?
-Lord Ordinator points might be better put towards an incantor, since you only have 2 ballistae

You can mix and match color scheme to stormhost rules
which is fine, I'm not opposed to that! But the loooore 😅

If the pallador need to be 9" away and have no buff for charging, it will remain almost useless. To be honest, I will it is even worst, currently, you can still use the pistol to do some shooting, just cannot charge to do close combat. If changed to 9", no pistol shooting anymore, you basically do nothing in that turn since the chance to get a 9" charge without any buffs is less than 30%. 7" or 6" will be much better and make pallador a viable choice.
it'd probably be 6" since they're mostly going by 3's for lengths
-
Do you need 3 units of Hunters for that battalion? you're going to want some tankier infantry in this list, which liberators would be perfect for.
You also got some extra points back with the new GHB update! From what I remember:
-20 on aquilor
-40 on 20 hunters
-20 on 6 longstrikes
-40 on palladorsthis list now has an extra 130 points up from 10- I'd go with 5 liberators for 100 or maybe even 5 sequitors for 130.

@tomcabator15 Vanguard SC box only has half a unit of gryph hounds
so personally I don't find it worth the money, on top of Hunters not really being used. Though if you absolutely want the Palladors (and Lord Aq) you can't go wrong paying 35USD more for the box. the hounds are (hopefully) likely to go to multiples of 3, not 6

It does feel like all Vanguard Chamber units should have an Overwatch rule since...that's the entire point of a vanguard.
-
Imagine my disappointment when I prefer Hallowed Knights' colors over the others in the book, AND prefer Sacrosanct chamber to the rest, to find that HK ignore allied spells! It feels like this should not exist, especially at a 6+...
-
oh wow I didn't realize those were the same sprue??? These are definitely bigger models than I think I'll ever have as Stormcast 😅 do you move them by the base or their head/spines?

Does Astreia Solbright actually have to be within the Hammers of Sigmar Stormhost only? Or can she be "unbound", too?
She can be unbound but still retains "Hammers of Sigmar" keyword. And for some godforsaken reason her skill can only affect HoS keyword units... So depending, it may be better to use her as a LA on Drac

@XReN these all sound pretty sick, and Dracoths were even better?? I flippin love the Pallador models, but it seems even the javelins can't save them
-
@RuneBrush do you mean you magnetize the bases before putting the model on said base?

Even so, I think the fact that we can use them is evidence that they are willing to allow 'crossplay' between the non-wargame and wargame models, and then splitting the wargame itself into 3 types--two of which allow for a very varied way to play.
