    Awesome that you already have painted that much, congratulations! 🥳👍

    You also have a wrote background for them? 

    Ah, well, I'm working on it. 

    Since Eltharion is my favorite World-That-Was character, I was thinking about having all of the aelves that comprise the army to be made from souls who originally resided in Tor Yvresse.  However, I've dropped that idea, since I want to make something a little more unique to AoS. 

    So, instead, I'm making lore for the specific Aelementari temples that make up the region my army originates from.  Since Vanari are usually just citizens, they'll just be from the various towns and cities that make up the region.

    Working currently on the Alarith lore, which is fun since I just read Realm-lords, so I have some good material to pull from.

    Wow! The more of painted Stoneguard I see, the more I wonder why GW wasn't able to make them look better on their photos initially. I liked them from there start, but I think they'd been less controversial. 

    Agreed. The helmet especially. They look a lot smaller in real life than they do in photos.

    Since I took the time to smack talk the designers' lists above, I figured I may as well post the (initial) list I'm building towards for funsies and to get feedback from the community:

    This isn't meant to be a highly competitive list, mind - think of this as the list of a hobbyist who wants to get as many different Lumineth models on the table as possible, while simultaneously being able to give the guys at the FLGS a fun, fair challenge... while minimizing the NPE parts of the faction that I can see causing the most griping. namely no Teclis, no Total Eclipse shenanigans, and only 20 Sentinels.

    Once I've got these dudes all painted up, version 2 will probably involve dropping Eltharion (much as I love the model, I think I'm gonna need more bodies than I can afford with him in the list) for 5 more Dawnriders and 5 more Stoneguard, and then I think I'll be good. There'll be room in the future for Teclis and more Sentinels should the need arise, but I'm really liking this as a starting point. Still, I'd greatly appreciate any feedback or advice you guys can offer!

    This is pretty much my list, except I dropped the battalion for another 5 Stoneguard. I haven't made up my mind if I want to bring endless spells or not, but with 60 points left over, I'm considering bringing the twin stones and sanctum.

    So i tried some desolators in two lists. In Anvils and AT. In anvils i supported them with a gryph charger arcanum. In AT with a castellant for the warding lantern.

    Given the recent Gristlegore nerf and small increases to skaven, Slaanesh is the next annoying thing. Unlimited Depravity and Multiple Hero summoning with lots of movement. Dracoth cav is really really good since Slaaneshi combat profile is not that good outside of few mortal wounds and 3+ save with a Castellant can really shine.

    knight Incantors x2 or atleast one Incantor are a must. Slaanesh has pretty good spells to support them. surrounding them so their heroes cant summon more units within 12 inches of their hero is crucial late game.

    Gristlegore was good with Anvilstrike, its an absolute cakewalk now even with desolators.

    Skaven still gave me a bit of a hard time (****** that battletome is cheap af, like their only strength is the fact that youre facing half the battletome out on the field) , but only because of some poor positioning on my part. the WLV is much less of a threat with its shorter range since you can now unbind it , it might affect their army too and they cant always be near their gnawholes  for the bonus if you position your army right.  Shooty skaven is a great matchup because they cant shoot what they cant see (Scions of the storm!)

    . Khorne Daemons imo has gotten a lot stronger with the points decrease. We might see the return of the bloodletter and thirster bomb. Havent tested against Gitz but given their decreases they also might be really strong.

     

    What lists were you running for your Anvils and AT?

    I just realised, this list and many other Desolator lists were cheaper in ghb18. As much as I like this list, I think only having 1 cast/dispell/unbind is way too few. There is a mortal wound tax every round coming in from endless spells. I don't think I'd be playing Stormcast without a Incantor/Spellweaver duo this season, which gives you two auto-dispell for 240p.

    So, would something like getting rid of the Sequitors and the Lord-Arcanum, and getting two Knight-Incantors and Liberators be more competitive?

  6. Hello all!
    I'm looking to start a Desolator list and I'm looking for some feedback on it.

    I'm rather new to AoS, so any other general list building advice would also be great.
