[All cavalry?]

How do people think an all cavalry list might do? I’ve seen ones from previous seasons but not in third. Not characters probably, but everything else. 

Something like:

 

Hammers of Sigmar

Scions Of The Story

 

Knight Zephyros (stubborn as a rhinox)

Knight Zephyros (arcane tome)

(G) Knight Incantor (tunnel master, celestial blades)

4 Fulminators

4 Fulminators

2 Fulminators

3 Dracolines

3 Dracolines

 

2000pts 105 wounds 19 models

First go at sculpting flames on these meteoric dudes. Necessity the mother of invention here. 

[Annihilators]

Wreathed in flames, from on high they strike down like meteorites and ******. 

[Annihilators]

Okay then. Acceptable conversion? Since you’ve all talked me round. 

[Annihilators]

Thanks everyone. Yes. This all makes sense. I have got 6 annihilators off ebay but they are the dominion ones I think which come with only the shields and not the grandhammers. Might investigate conversions or might use the bodies to convert into characters (vex banners dudes seem purty fun)...

[Annihilators]

Thanks for the useful responses. I've played other wargames competitively so I'm familiar with the roles you discuss, but am INCREDIBLY green at Sigmar (and by extension Sigmar) so useful to hear that as a perspective applied to this unit. I guess the role I was imagining for them was more as a deep striking flank harrier. Like something that you drop on a flank objective to clear it and stay there needing dealing with. Takes a good bit of shifting (unless the opponent have ranged/mobile mortal output ofc which are a problem in this hypothetical example). At 180 they are about the same as a chariot which probably does a similar job - maybe a little less tanky but obviously a lot more mobile.

[Annihilators]

Every tournament list that I have seen with Annihilators uses the Grandhammer version. I understand that the weapons are less damage, rend and to wound by one a piece, but with sixty points less cost and one better Save, I was wondering if anyone has had any joy with them? They still do the same mortal wounds right?

First time sculpting fur with green stuff on this Lord Judicator conversion I knocked up this afternoon. The remaining green stuff going into stone shapes for the base will work well when bedded into sandy texture and painted I reckon.

This is absolutely a legal list, although you haven't picked a Holy Command. Stormcast Eternals get one for free just for being Stormcast Eternals. The only one that really works with your army is Steadfast March, which once a game lets a unit run and then still charge. It's quite good with fast units like you have.

Gardus's buff is very powerful, but you might struggle to take advantage of it because the rest of your army has quite large bases and 12" movement, so keeping them wholly within 12" of him might be hard. If you have time and other models to experiment with, give it a go and see how it feels.

The units you've chosen are generally just quite strong, Stormdrake Guard in particular can be pretty powerful, but as you noted you're missing Galletian Champions which (at least in this current season) will limit scoring opportunities - your gameplan will usually be to kill as much as you can quickly so you can grab objectives freely late game.

It's not typical to take a list with no non-unique heroes, because you do get a free command trait and a free artefact and it's a shame to waste that - I can see keeping Karazai as your general to make your Stormdrake Guard battleline but I would suggest seeing if you can squeeze an unnamed hero in there. If you find Gardus is difficult to keep up with the rest of your army, you could drop him for a non-unique hero to at least hold an artefact (arcane tome is very good, and on a fast hero like the Knight Azyros or Knight Zephyros they can score, act as a galletian champion, and be in the right place for buffs).

Thanks. This is all very helpful. Building and painting and mulling. If I swap Gardus for an Azyros I can squeeze in a unit of Aetherwings or a cheap allied champion maybe...

[Stormcast Eternals 3.0 - There is no "a" in Vindictors]

Is this the right place for a massive noob to enquire: I believe we recently got allowed to only have thunderbolt volley work on minimum units? Is it still worth taking do folk reckon? Are people still fond of longstrike raptors? Or are judicators with crossbows a better pick now?

Also - mega basic question. Where do I find the rules for Sworn Bodyguards? Everything is so disparate rules wise. Thanks!

[Baby Stormcast First list]

So I don't even know if I have managed to write a legal list. Let alone if I have got one thats any good. Looking for something that I can take to a tournament and maybne win a couple of games. Enjoying painting models. I have found it tricky because it seems like the rules are spread amongst many sources. But i wanna play dragons.

 

Allegiance: Stormcast Eternals

Stormhost: Hallowed Knights

Triumph: Bloodthirsty

Grand Strategy: Tame The Land

Leaders:

Karazai (550) - General *

Gardus Steel Soul (170)*

Battleline:

Stormdrake guard (340)*

Stormdrake Guard (340)*

Stormdrake Guard (340)*

Units:

Evocators on Celestial Dracolines (240)*

 

Battle regiment*

1980/2000

1 drop

 

I mean. I should probably swap the Evocators for a couple more heroes? For Galatian Champs and to stick artefacts on...? But I wanna paint the cool dragon panthers... Gardus Seems like hes the best buff unit we have avail to us...? Cant easily build one better, right? Help tho! I dont understand the rules and havent played a game yet!
