What are y'all running for heroes in a Knights Excelsior list? Obviously Lord-Relictor with Translocation is a must, I'm just not sure what to do for other heroes. LAoTaur? Knight-Incantor? LCoSD? Stormdrake Guard are great, of course, but for now I'm trying to build lists without them (as I have a feeling they're gonna be pricey $$ wise)

Couldn't you take Averon Stormsire + Stormsire's Cursebreakers for cheaper empower? Its 230 for a Knight-Incantor and an empower battery. So, basically 105 points for Empower. Which seems like a decent deal if you want them just to empower Castigators or such. Is it gonna 5-0 tournaments? No, of course not. But not every list needs to be tournament ready, some of us just want to have a semi-good list that has a chance at our LGS vs whatever may show up. Y'all need to calm down with the "this is never gonna win a tournament"

So I'm trying to figure out a list for Bastian, but I can't seem to come up with anything tbh. (Or at least, no lists besides just throwing him in a dragons list). Mostly I think I'm just unsure of what we've got in the ways of Hammers and Anvils. Hammers: 4x Stormdrake Guard + Knight-Draconis 10x Protectors + Lord-Relictor (Translocation) 4x Fulminators Anvils: Liberators, Sequitors, Vindictors, Protectors in Knights Excelsior (?) Let me know if I missed anything! (I'm sure I did)

We still have the prayer, don't we? Divine Light

Yeah, im disappointed. Im getting vanquishers, they look too cool not to, but the rules are sad why not just take protectors for a higher price to get -2 rend, 5 attacks vs everyone, and an extra wound per model?

Vanquishers :((((

Have we seen Gardus? I didn't notice his warscroll anywhere yet.

Clearer Bastian Carthalos as well as... Notable changes to Vandus: his damage got normalized (Heldensen went from 3->2, Calanax claws went from 1->2 and gained a rend), his command ability is just an ability in the Combat Phase and his breath is now an attack.

I wish but it's likely they'll be REDEEMER conclave, hence the mention of them.

Not awful, but i was kinda hoping for more from the LORD COMMANDER of Hammers of Sigmar.

Doubtful. Sequitors already got a unique rule for their shields in the 3.0 faqs, the 5+ ward. I hope they get more than just some extra rend on their basic weapons, but dont be surprised if thats all thats different. Furthermore, don't expect liberators to be any different either. They'll likely consolidate profiles to 3+/3+/-1/1, but i doubt they'll get a 3+ save and theyre probably just keeping their reduce rend rule.

Agreed. Next week is possible though.

Counterpoint, Praetors have a Pitched Battle Profile in the General's Handbook, and as all units must have a warscroll, the only usable warscroll is the Dominion one. Thus, they are legal. Unrelated to that, Sam Pearson (rules writer for AoS) has been made aware of the After save stacking and 'will discuss it with the team ASAP' Twitter Link to Sam's Response

Source? But please gw i hope so

Nope. Annihilator died, rolled 3 dice and did mortal wounds on a 5+.
