On the topic of palladins I was thinking 10 or maybe even 5 decimators with vandus command ability spam could be an absolute BUCKET of attacks. With blessed weapons could be scary

I understand. I love the playstyle the Lord Aquilor provides (buffing Palladors with other heroes then teleporting them is great!) but if you don't like it the Soulstrike Brotherhood is a tougher sell.

There is also something to be said about every time you use the aquilor's command ability the unit you move is -1 to hit from shock and awe. I think it's pretty important for palladors.

I was just messing around with firestrike to see if i could build a decent list to use him in and i think i stumbled upon something pretty nasty:

Allegiance: Stormcast Eternals
- Stormhost: Hammers of Sigmar
Aventis Firestrike Magister of Hammerhal (360)
Knight-Incantor (140)
Lord-Arcanum (180)
- General
- Trait: We Cannot Fail 
- Artefact: God-forged Blade 
Lord-Ordinator (140)
Knight-Azyros (100)
20 x Sequitors (400)
- Stormsmite Mauls and Soulshields
- 9x Stormsmite Greatmaces
5 x Judicators (160)
- Skybolt Bows
- 1x Shockbolt Bows
5 x Sequitors (120)
- Stormsmite Mauls and Soulshields
- 3x Stormsmite Greatmaces
Celestar Ballista (100)
Celestar Ballista (100)
Celestar Ballista (100)
Everblaze Comet (100)

Total: 2000 / 2000
Extra Command Points: 0
Allies: 0 / 400
Wounds: 112
 

With the azyros and ordinator dropping from scions with the ballistas you would have 12 shots at 4+ rerolling ones that turn into the d6 shots. Also if you fly over the same target with firestrike you are now hitting on 3+ rerolling ones. I almost think i should just cut the comet and take the fourth ballista for some absolutely nasty shooting.

I was kicking the idea of this kind of melee based list:

Allegiance: Stormcast Eternals
- Stormhost: Hammers of Sigmar
Vandus Hammerhand (280)
- Mount Trait: Pack Leader
Lord-Castellant (100)
- Artefact: Aetherquartz Brooch 
Lord-Relictor (100)
- Prayer: Translocation
Knight-Vexillor (120)
- General
- Pennant of the Stormbringer
- Trait: We Cannot Fail 
- Artefact: God-forged Blade 
Knight-Heraldor (100)
Knight-Azyros (100)
5 x Judicators (160)
- Skybolt Bows
- 1x Shockbolt Bows
5 x Liberators (100)
- Warhammer & Shield
- 1x Grandhammers
5 x Liberators (100)
- Warhammer & Shield
- 1x Grandhammers
2 x Concussors (260)
10 x Retributors (440)
- 4x Starsoul Maces
Lords of the Storm (140)

Total: 2000 / 2000
Extra Command Points: 1
Allies: 0 / 400
Wounds: 103
 

It's really just all in on vandus the dracoths and paladins, if you drop the vexillor and azyros with the combat portion of it and you get in with just 2 of the 3 combat units it's going to melt something

The vanguard hunters are battleline with the aquilor and they are needed for the battalion. I tried to figure a way to use sequitors,  but I think you have to make the hunters battleline to have room for enough castigators. To be honest I'm not sure if I have enough castigators, but I am kind of afraid of not fitting all of them around the arcanum.

Can't quite figure out what I want to do with the last 100 points. Either more bodies, a hero, or maybe another ballista.I think the play style is going to be a lot like aetherstrike the damage from the castigators the turn they come down is going to be horrendous with arcanum command ability, and the palladors will act like shock cav that can put some hurt on key targets
