Turragor

For those who don't have double dragon, or really see the potential in the prime: Allegiance: Stormcast Eternals Mortal Realm: Aqshy Leaders Celestant-Prime (340) Lord-Castellant (120) Lord-Celestant on Stardrake (500) - General - Celestine Hammer - Command Trait: Staunch Defender - Artefact: Ignax's Scales - Mount Trait: Storm-winged Knight-Incantor (140) - Spell: Azyrite Halo Lord-Relictor (100) - Prayer: Translocation Lord Kroak (320) - Allies Battleline 5 x Liberators (100) - Warhammer & Shield 5 x Liberators (100) - Warhammer & Shield 5 x Liberators (100) - Warhammer & Shield Endless Spells / Terrain / CPs Everblaze Comet (100) Umbral Spellportal (70) Total: 1990 / 2000 Extra Command Points: 0 Allies: 320 / 400 Wounds: 80 This and my first list are the two "branches" I want to test. There will be small tweaks to each ofc.

I think Gotrek locks all other allies right? Otherwise I'd do Gotrek, Kroak, LCoSD lol /Edit Exactly, boooo!

You wouldn't plug 6 longstrikes into most lists though. Not unless they already have more longstrikes. Kroak gives much more than 6 longstrikes - in a lot of lists. There's nothing "bad" about having more CPs even in lists that don't focus on CP generation. I hadn't even considered the CPs when I thought of plugging Kroak into Starcast. I think, perhaps, Anvilstrike might be a list that just wouldn't have use for him.

Ill be testing this variation first, though Sweden is at the moment in the process of recommending restrictions for social and work gatherings thanks to our pal covid19. So we will see when I get it tested Maybe just a lot of painting time and remote work incoming.

There are levels to it with the addition of Kroak. Besides all that he brings, I'm quite excited for the fact you'll nearly always have a mystic shield cast on the Templar Hello double dragon rr1, 1+ and 2+ save

This will be the first list I test: Allegiance: Stormcast Eternals Mortal Realm: Aqshy Lord-Celestant on Stardrake (500) - General - Celestine Hammer - Command Trait: Staunch Defender - Artefact: Ignax's Scales - Mount Trait: Storm-winged Drakesworn Templar (420) - Tempest Axe Lord-Castellant (120) Knight-Incantor (140) - Spell: Azyrite Halo Lord Kroak (430) -> will be (320) - Allies 5 x Liberators (100) - Warhammer & Shield 5 x Liberators (100) - Warhammer & Shield 5 x Liberators (100) - Warhammer & Shield Everblaze Comet (100) Umbral Spellportal (70) Quicksilver Swords OR Prismatic Pallisade (30) Total: 2110 / 2000 -> will be (2000) Extra Command Points: 0 Allies: 430 / 400 -> will be (320) Wounds: 83 I dread to say Starcast might be approaching netlist territory (not the best or a guaranteed winner but there are a large chunk of armies that'll hate this)

I am thinking of taking the incantor and the umbral spell portal, and then those 30 pts over are variable. Palisade maybe? Creating obstacles and LoS tricks are handy in this list.

I'm waiting for the faq but my list is probably going to gain a kroak and a few endless spells. Mirror looks like a no brainer. You don't really have to worry about giving away the spells in round activation as you've a 4 cast wizard to dispel what may end up being a threat. Kroak is an easy paint job too lol pity It's fine cast Ooh! If you face a Seraphon cast list (we will be seeing those) you'll have kroak on dragon 'roids to unbind all the enemy kroaks casts. Lol

Staunch tops them all. Once you add in a drake and Castellant with a slann (I like kroak for his other spam spell) you would be further rewarded for going more towards the starcast build philosophy. but given I'm biased I'd suggest that ppl experiment with a bunch of stuff. We've really not much else to do prior to a tome update. I think my double drake starcast list with prime out kroak in could be very bad news for some armies

As always I believe a bunch of stuff could be great and needs testing. Sadly I don't have the time or play the required amount of games to do it all! PS I like the idea of coining "stormkroak" as a list type

Ability reads: "Missile weapons can only be used to target an IDONETH DEEPKIN unit with this battle trait if it is the closest visible enemy unit." The only conditions are closest and visible. So the crawlers are shafted imo

Hmmm... Lord Kroak is cheaper than the Prime now? And perhaps opens up a new variation of the list: In a DoubleDragon Starcast list he's on a +3 to cast with 4 casts... His Celestial Retribution is casting on 4+ 5+ then 6+

Hmm will need to be seeing these new seraphon scrolls before doing any playing in scrollbuilder... /edit actually the scroll is further down and it looks pretty badass for 260 in a starcast list. Fitting it in is cutting out a prime though. Unless you go single drake but I like the +2 to cast if allying in this big lizard.

Let us know how it goes! I'm hoping to get to a tourney next sat but its looking dicey. If I get to go Ill take Starcast of some form or other.

By which you mean each takes 1 d3 roll correct? Whereas if it were the case that 1 d3 covered all units, it'd be "Every unit within that point suffers d3 mortal wounds"

Looking forward to points costs and warscrolls for (any) new order wizards. The Arcane Lineage ability is a +1 (+2 fordouble drake lists) to FRIENDLY WIZARDS so no keywording to exclude non - SC.

You're makin me want to get ballistas painted

Hey, boneheads, if its only "wimmenz" that see better colours, how come all you menz can see and appreciate the art she does? Where's the studies on that? You should all be "whatever, looks like a blue and pink cat, who gives a fudge, where's beer?" Why are there men judging painting contests at all? Am I taking crazy pills here or is this like skipping out on the massive fact men are looking at and appreciating these magic invisible colours? Really though, it's a great rendition of that model. She paints great. I can see that. 'nuff said.

I've a small tournament on Saturday but there are a bunch of new players so I am taking a Nurgle list instead to try out the new WoE rules. I think its a good sign when I dont want to take my Starcast list as newbies will be crushed I'm a bit sad I don't get to test a new list variant out, but I'm kinda happy with a few I've tested already.

I love horti lol, I know not many take him. I'm handicapped by a small collection but its my favourite painted army so I figured Id give it a whirl with my old favourite battalion and munificent wanderers

Im taking this to a small tournament on Saturday: Allegiance: Nurgle - Host of Chaos: Munificent Wanderers Leaders Great Unclean One (340) - General - Bile Blade & Doomsday Bell - Command Trait: One Last Gift - Artefact: The Endless Gift - Lore of Virulence: Favoured Poxes Gutrot Spume (140) Horticulous Slimux (220) Sorcerer (120) - Artefact: Mucktalon - Lore of Malignance: Blades of Putrefaction Battleline 30 x Plaguebearers (320) 5 x Putrid Blightkings (160) 5 x Putrid Blightkings (160) Units 3 x Plague Drones (200) 3 x Nurglings (100) Battalions Fecund Rituculturalists (180) Endless Spells / Terrain / CPs Balewind Vortex (40) Malevolent Maelstrom (10) Total: 1990 / 2000 Extra Command Points: 1 Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 134 I've no expectations (Im v experienced with SCE but have only played Nurgle a few tournaments) but am happy to get a better grip of all the nurgley interactions. I've a feeling that we're getting a new book this year. Any tips for running the list? I'm thinking I'll hve the GUO rolling about at the centre of the pbs to try to soak up charges. I expect to get the blades cast off r1, but not get the drones into combat and have them killed off before I can succeed with blades again

If I had 6 dracolines I'd try: Allegiance: Stormcast EternalsMortal Realm: AqshyCelestant-Prime (340)Lord-Celestant on Stardrake (500)- General- Celestine Hammer- Command Trait: Staunch Defender- Artefact: Ignax's Scales- Mount Trait: Storm-wingedLord-Castellant (120)Lord-Exorcist (120)- Spell: Azyrite Halo5 x Liberators (100)- Warhammer & Shield5 x Liberators (100)- Warhammer & Shield5 x Liberators (100)- Warhammer & Shield6 x Evocators on Dracolines (520)- 3x Grandstaves- Lore of Invigoration: Celestial BladesEverblaze Comet (100)Total: 2000 / 2000Extra Command Points: 0Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 95 But I've never played the evocators on dracoline unit so I may not fully grasp how essential the LAoCD is. That's the list I'd start with whilst trialling them though.

It is the main question with the list. Interestingly, when I play I haven't had to worry about controlling objectives a whole lot after a good 2 rounds of starcasting. Perhaps it is luck in the matchups I've had. The ones where I struggled most was against 6 stonehorns and a whole bunch of OBR. I do not fancy painting up 12 more but... I wonder if 5 x 3 Prosecutors with Javelins is something here. 15 extra bodies, good move (great), and outside 9" they do ok damage, because of the primes - which leads me to my main worry: I feel pushing the drops up that high is a bit risky

Alas they don't give command points

Nah dude, it's totally fine:
