So one of my local stores is starting an escalation league next week, and I've decided to get in on it as a chance to get in some games and motivate myself to keep painting my backlog. Eventually I'm planning on building into a Celestial Vindicators list with a bunch of Dracolines, but for now we're starting at 500 points and I've got to keep the list pretty lean. At the moment, this is what I'm planning on starting with at 500:
Battleline 5 x Sequitors(130) -Stormsmite Mauls and Soulshields -3x Stormsmite Greatmaces 5 x Liberators(100) -Warhammer & Shield -1x Grandhammers
War Machines Celestar Ballista(110)
Total:500 / 500 Extra Command Points:0 Allies:0 / 200 Wounds:33
*****
I realize there probably isn't much to talk about playing at such a low point total, but I'd nevertheless be interested in hearing input or advice from anyone who has experience playing Stormcast at lower point totals (I've only played 2k). At present we're only required to take one battleline unit, so I could take out either the Sequitors or Liberators to make room for something else, but... the points available are just so slim, I'm not sure what else I'd even be able to fit in there.
I had also considered replacing the Lord-Arcanum with a Knight-Incantor (or even a Lord-Castellant), allowing me to drop the ballista and add another squad of Sequitors. The extra bodies would certainly be welcome, but I'm concerned I'll feel a bit naked without any ranged support. The Lord-Arcanum's -1 to hit spell, Prime Electrics, and Cycle of the Storm also all feel like they'd be a bit more impactful in a lower point game. Any thoughts?
Wouldn't dropping the LA as your general make sequitors not battleline? How many do you need at 500? 2?
