and argument that GW want to sell new OP models is the most debunked argument ever... 

I really don't want to come off as rude, so please don't take it that way, but can you explain that a little bit more? I mean they did exactly that with LRL, OBR, heck, Primaris across the board? GW making new sculpts more powerful on the board to sell more of them... that is basically what their business model is built around. After a few months after everyone has bought the new hotness the FAQ or eratta something and they drop in power a bit, and then it is off to the races on something new. The only time I can recall something totally new coming out that was not amazing was the STD start collecting box with the rules for Chaos Knights. 
Again not trying to be a ******, but can you tell me how that is debunked? Honestly asking. 

[AoS 2 - Stormcast Eternals Discussion]

Yep, that is a dreadnaught base  I love that model.

Good question, they look taller than paladins and don't have the "paladin" keyword so they could be on 50mm. I would like to see them on 40mm with 3 wounds tho

I agree only because everything else is on 40mm haha and I would be sent to OCD hell if I had some boys that were slightly bigger  

Because lets face it, I am going to run them asap.

Bullgors, Kroxigors, Kurnoth Hunters, Chaos Spawn, Rat Ogors, Crypt Flayers, Crypt Horrors, Spirit Hosts, Immortis Guard/Necropolis Stalkers, Felwater Troggoths, Rockgut Troggoths, Gorgers, Yhetees, Maneaters, Gyrocopters/bombers, Ripperdactyl/Terradon Riders

Dang, that is more than I thought. I guess a quick google search would show those. 

However, Bullgors, Krox, chaos spawn, rat ogors, and gyrocopters are rarely used from what I have seen. But hey, until we know for sure guess they could be either way. Unless someone who has done an unboxing has already stated they are and I have missed it.

Castigators only replaced the previous worst unit in the game

 

On another note do you guys think Annihilators are on 50mm bases? They look slightly larger than 40mm, and if they're on 50mm it's super weird that they are only 3 wounds. I can't think of any other model with less than 4 wounds on that base size.

It looked like 40mm to me, very little is on 50 that is not a hero.

Were judicators replaced by castigators? NO. So why you guys worry so much?? 

I am not worried, not really, I just wanted to know if anyone had thought of any cool combos and stuff for the new units to blend with the old. 

[AoS 2 - Stormcast Eternals Discussion]

Some of my friends and my brother have been giving me a hard time about the 5000+ points of fully painted SCE I cherish being useless once Dominion comes out. What are your thoughts on this? Do we think everything in sacrosanct chamber is going to be replaced? Same with Warrior chamber? Or are things like Liberators going to still be useful with a 3+ save for battleline? 

 

TLDR: Are my old models totally useless now? Haha. 

[AoS 2 - Phoenix Temple Discussion]

Thanks @zilberfrid I am pretty new to playing Phoenix Temple and have only used them in a mixed order 3k mess-around match, but I am very excited to start.

I was thinking of dropping one of the 30 man units to 10 and taking more shooting/magic. I could keep and Anointed on foot and 10 PG back for defense and march forward with everything else and should be OK in most games, at least I think. 

[AoS 2 - Phoenix Temple Discussion]

Anyone else really excited for the Cities of Sigmar update to PT? I think a great alligance ability is just what the Dr ordered for this army. 

Very excited to see what happens. I recently just finished building my 90 Phoenix Guard and two Frostheart with Anointed. 

What would you say the greatest weakness of Phoenix Temple is? Shooting, magic? 

Thanks for the advice! 

 

[AoS 2 - Stormcast Eternals Discussion]

So, my wife just bought me the Vangaurd Brotherhood Battleforce box last night. I am working on building a list that uses the Vanguard chamber and making it into an Anvilstrike. I have read a lot of lists on here, reddit and in other places. I am seeing the core being 9 long strikes and something hard hitting like 10 evocators or 6 pallidators, and relictor to teleport. 

I have made the following. Looking for advice, may have to buy some more models at the moment but I love the flexibility and the possibilities with this list. 

TY for CC 

 

Allegiance: Stormcast Eternals
- Stormhost: Anvils of the Heldenhammer
Mortal Realm: Ulgu
Lord-Aquilor (180)
- General
- Trait: Deathly Aura 
- Artefact: Soulthief 
- Mount Trait: Aethereal Stalker
Lord-Relictor (100)
- Prayer: Translocation
Spellweaver (100)
- Blows of Mystic Power
- Allies
Knight-Heraldor (100)
Spellweaver (100)
- Heartwood Staff
- Allies
5 x Vanguard-Hunters (110)
- Boltstorm Pistols and Shock Handaxes
5 x Vanguard-Hunters (110)
- Boltstorm Pistols and Shock Handaxes
5 x Vanguard-Hunters (110)
- Boltstorm Pistols and Shock Handaxes
10 x Evocators (440)
9 x Vanguard-Raptors with Longstrike Crossbows (510)
3 x Aetherwings (50)
3 x Aetherwings (50)
Quicksilver Swords (30)

Total: 1990 / 2000
Extra Command Points: 0
Allies: 200 / 400
Wounds: 117
 

 

Work in Progress, not set on this and I have not tested. Hell, most of these are still in the box right now lol. 

 

[AoS 2 - Phoenix Temple Discussion]

I mean, yeah that is what I was thinking, with Witness and the Blizzard aura you have a super defensive troop, park them behind a line of guard, they have a 2" attack and can kick ass over the heads of the PG, higher damage output with the Anointed and then the command ability to rr wounds, and ignore battleshock... seems like too much to give up to NOT have an anointed on top, but maybe I am missing something?

Hello,  just asking as very new player to PT, but why take the phoenix without riders? Is the battalion THAT good? I thought it only does d3 dmg once per turn. 

Thank you

Yeah you can use them until they get pushed into "Warhammer Legends" which is the graveyard for all the old fantasy models, which should happen in GHB 2020. Unless ofc GW surprises us and updates them in the cities book with some new models etc.

Thank you for the clarification  this makes me fee a little better. If I get a little use out of them I can always just keep them to look cool. Although for people that have had them forever I totally get it and that sucks. 

[AoS 2 - Wanderers Discussion]

So, sorry about this but I posted earlier that I just bought a new army and I have a lot of GG and the heroes that were "cut" but my question is; it looks like they are just not being sold. They have points, they have warscrolls, they are still playable... is there any reason at all I cannot use them? They look legal as of GHB 19 so, they are not included in Cities of Sigmar now? But really nothing has changed right? I guess I might not be understanding exactly what has happened but to a new player all it looks like is that they have just stopped selling these units on the website. 

Any advice would help, again I am new so please don't rage on me. Thank you,

[AoS 2 - Wanderers Discussion]

Honest question with list building, if I am going to be doing the Pathfinder battalion then how many Eternal Guard should I have? 

[AoS 2 - Wanderers Discussion]

Thank you very much, yeah I did a little more reading and I think I am going to be safe. I am just worried about the Glade Guard being pulled from the stores, but honestly even if they do drop them, oh well. In for a penny in for a pound right? 

[Wanderers Update Theories]

So I too am worried about this and I JUST started buying up a Wanderers list for my wife to surprise her. I just called my local store and the GW employee there said that is really strange, they are just gone off the site, no longer available on the webstore. Not just temporarily unavaliable like the Dragon Noble I want for my Dragonhost list, but just gone. I hope they are getting a new model or they are being repackaged with new bases but if not . . . . Makes me kinda worried I just dropped over $200 on nothing. 

[AoS 2 - Wanderers Discussion]

Hello! 

 

My wife and I just started playing about two months ago and I am surprising her with a full army   she loves the Wanderes and I am really excited to give them to her. 

I am having a hard time figuring out if what I bought is a good list for her to start with. I know there will be complicated strats to learn but I just want her to be able to throw down on the table and play sometime. 

This is what I have so far:

Nomad prince

Spellweaver x 2

Waystrider

Waywatcher x2 

Sisters of the thorn x2 boxes

Glade guard x 2 boxes

Eternal guard x 20

 

Any advice? Are there considerable changes anticipated with Free Cities battletome? Thank you for any help.
