TeclisGod

The more I have discussions with others and the more games people have gotten in with their (proxy) Lumineth the more things start to change in the ideas of list building. This was definitely a thing most/all of us saw coming as text in a book can only mean so much. From what I remember during first discussions was that Teclis was mostly and auto include and that Syar was the best of all Nations (competitively speaking). Now it seems to be tested around Zaitrec with Teclis not always being an auto include. He is a huge center piece in points value that in the end having more models (bodies) tends to be a little more competitive. This is all according to building a 2000 point list. With this being said I am curious on what everyone's thoughts are on playing them or not and how it has progressed since the release of the battletome.

@Gaz Taylor Sorry, I got carried away. If it ends up getting more on the Lumineth side of topics feel free to move it. It seems to have died off altogether but thank you for the reminder.

@swarmofseals So something along the lines of this you would say? Avalenor.pdf

This was the list I was talking about earlier. 4 Drops, but the model count might be too low. What do you think? LuminethTeclis.pdf

@swarmofseals That is true. LoE seems to be the weakest of the non cathallar/stonemages to field but he is 220 points so it makes sense. Shining company and the -1 aura of a Avalenor is huge and easy buff to acquire. The Command Ability is good but not necessary it seems. You think fielding 2-3 heroes would be a common choice in Lumineth? I don't see many people running more or less than that.

I guess just run 3-4 units of both wardens and sentinels. The more and bigger units the better if u wanna use Cathallar. Should be fun to see and different for Lumineth.

This is the answer I was looking for. Thank you so much Once tournaments start to open up again in my area and things are safer to participate in I will be taking all this into consideration. My goal atm is to just have an even record if I can since it will be my first tournament for AoS (I used to play fantasy but I will admit this is a completely different game). I have just started collecting Lumineth Realm - Lords and will be using them in tournaments. I am not sure how familiar you are but I figure you know a decent amount since you do stay up with the meta, but Lumineth has a pretty low model count do to having a leader that is pricey but mostly worth the points. With that said they also have good battalion choices as well which I will be using one in my list. My original list was 3 drops but I wasn't sure how much I would suffer from going to 4 by adding and extra element to the list that provides a little more variety. From what it seems like in your post going from a 3-4 drop isn't the end of the world and because Lumineth is brand new it will take many games to figure out. Just hoping I would get someone to reply that is already or has been in a Meta focused mindset and I have. Would it be easier to answer if I provided a list and you can break it down for me or is Lumineth not yet enough discovered for you? Thanks again

Hello Gamers, This is a short and simple post. What is a good amount of drops for a list? I haven't played a tournament yet but I know that having a low drop count is very important throughout games. I have heard of lists with 2 drops, 3 drops or even a 1 drop. Would a 4 drop be too many or would it be not much different than a 3 drop. I know this can be very situational on what people bring to a tournament but in a tournament where it is heavily played in the current meta...what would you expect to see with drop counts and what to look for in a list to try and secure your turn decisions? Thank you so much and I am sorry this is a vague question and I expect to have vague answers but as a starting point it would be nice to see what to look for. Thanks

My friend is painting my collection and I wanted to share it to you all. So far he has done a test model for both the Warden and a Dawn Rider. I love the paint scheme and I am excited to see the rest of it.

With all the games I have played and armies I always painted my own theme, but for once I am willing to just do the box art. I love the other Grand Nations themes and the original one as well but just for a new fun experience I will stick with the box art. I listened to that podcasts as well and I agree with you. I think its because so many people wanna make it the easiest as possible when doing things (in this case casting spells). Its like when you have something so nice its naturally hard to try things that aren't as nice. I think think both style of lists are fun and work really well. I personally am trying the Teclis elves list just for the sake that its more elvish. I do like the other style and theme a lot too but I wanna try the elves first. Overall, from what I have seen/heard I am very excited about Lumineth and what GW has created.

At the GW site you can see the colors they used for the box art. They have the usual classic paint choices and the contrast version. As far as for the other Grand Nations and their paint themes I haven't found it yet but I am sure it's in the box set when it arrives.

Yea that is true. Would you agree that most situations with better to go first with this list because of the amount of long range shooting and buffs or do you think its better to go 2nd most of the time?

Yeah that is true 5 dawnriders is around 10 and 10 dawnriders is around 20 wounds against 4+ with Hysh. The only reason I am running a larger unit instead of 2 units of 5 is because I am trying to reduce my drops. Currently it's at 3 which is think is probably good enough.

The thing I am working around the most for list creations are low drops. Good thing they have great battalions to work with.
