  1. Nice, I'll add a few more to the first post so interested Stormcast players have more options
  2. I'd go for this or Mirrorshield (which is kind of in favour at the moment v flamers etc). Classics. I agree that you don't want to lose Staunch. Obsidian Amulet (4+ spell ward) can also do work. No realm artefact custom rules are harder against the factions further back in the battletome cycle - there's not much choice for us in the tome when comparing to the malign sorcery stuff.
  3. I think I could well add both, they are strong in different ways. Starcast w/ 6 deso and kroak versus Starcast w/ 6 deso and prime
  4. Can't recall but adding in 6 Desolators means you remove the prime and a drake so probably: ?
  5. In Starcast very good, in other builds he has something to offer too - but he is dear. Starcast is already going for expensive/few troops so you're ready to make that sacrifice.
  6. Ok I added some of my lists, anyone want to recommend their own list or any starcast variant for first post?
  7. This is a good idea! I will try to do so after work.
  8. Great stuff! I've played Tzeentch once with Starcast (pre-kroak) - scenario Duality. I felt I could keep a lid on him then but I think having so little objectives to focus on was the big thing. The list was also not the gnarliest. Great results for you though, Tzeentch would go through most of the lists out there so losing to them isn't exactly a problem -SC just aren't 5-0 right now so we could interpret you result as a 4-1 in a longer tourney What list/faction won in the end? Man I want to try to get my head round TTS now, I think I have the base game installed... yeah
  9. Pre-Kroak I'd have been very worried but with I'm a bit more confident you'll have a good showing. Play carefully!
  10. Yes, you can play Starcast without Stardrakes but I find them to be a cornerstone of the builds I run and do well with. AND I run 2 about 90% of the time when I take SC to tournaments
  11. I think ppl try to shoehorn the win ratio in an example of what's wrong with SC but that's not really what's wrong. It's not even the range of lists that is a problem: I've been tooting the Starcast horn most of last year (and Kroak makes it pretty tasty now). Shootcast is always the recommended choice by 90% of SC players. A lot of desolators and ballista can be a good build. Dracolines are good. Gavriel can still surprise. There are tweaks on each, maybe not enough to constitute another "option". Still, these usually give good results to good SC players. Some better performing armies have fewer choices. I think the main source of bad feeling is the deadweight in the tome in terms of warscroll options. I read some players of other factions complain that unit X or maybe unit X, Y and Z are no use. SC need extra letters in the alphabet to write similar summaries
  12. Correct, generic Stormcast can choose freely
  13. I like this - the 2 units you have in in place of drake 2 are neat - Javelin Prosecutors are an old love of mine and the Dracolines give you speed and dispell. The single 5 jud choice is interesting. I have no feedback on that - it's not good or bad at first glance. One thing (or 3): - Celestial Warbringers and - Command Trait: Staunch Defender - Artefact: Ignax's Scales Are not compatible. You'd never have the trait and you'd only be able to take ignax after a battalion (giving you 1 more artefact).
  14. This would put kroak lists above anything we've got so far. All my data from Tourneys here is no SC list goes 4-1. 3-2 on a bad day is a winner imo. I just unpacked my Kroak (he'll be in a Kroakcast list)
  15. Unfortunately were an exploit to guide an SC list to podium itd be fixed That said, I don't see any events taking place for the next 3 months or so5
  16. hahaha I am glad Im not planning on CP farm lists as thats gonna get some kind of FAQ - probably from the CA level (only once per unit)
  17. this is it yes, most events will be cancelled from now (or a week away in some countries less affected just now) on until probably May/June
  18. lol mine is on the way (corona delayed no doubt)
  19. I like the idea of 3 drakes but I think for true impact, you're probably best stepping back and looking at where the points are freed up around that traditional starcast "core". The thing that sticks out is the comet/SC caster absence. For me this always equates to "Celestant Prime" So where the Kroak, Incantor/Comet, Drake, Drake list has a focus on recycling the comet - later in the game (when battle is joined) you'll get less impact from that comet - if you can even find space to land it without laying wounds on your own guys. Your Incantor will be laying on Azyrite Halo instead. In this list, the late game has more comet potential via the scepter (which lets you choose range to keep things safe). Or you might have a match where you don't think the comet chip damage will take off a key piece so you use the Prime as assassin (with many CP for all out attack and charge rerolls - delaying when you need to declare you're using Orrery of fates and thus increasing the chances of 1 extra 3 damage attack getting through). Spontaneously I feel like the Prime's weakness means it's a more risky list. It'll require more finesse than the comet recycling variant.
  20. They're baseless lol, the list will still struggle enough against some gatekeeper lists that it'll never go more than 4 wins with Kroak at a big tournament. However, I do feel like Kroak's addition could push it up to a 4-1 list for me given the amount of experience I have now, that remains to be tested ofc.
  21. Thats why they shouldnt nerf it, ppl buying Stardrakes is a WIN
  22. They can't possibly nerf the starcast units can they?
  23. They're building my Kroakcast list on https://www.twitch.tv/thehonestwargamer right now I got him to look at https://thehonestwargamer.com/aos-list-rundowns/kroakcast/ live which is neat I mean, they laughed at the fact other armies will not like it but hey! It's near netlist time boys
  24. Main thought would be obj grabbing after r3. Tbh the last 100 points are very open. I could just remove the relictor as a selection. I don't think it's important. Endless spells or perhaps the good old Heraldor could be better.
