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

You can only take BH once, so the first need some tweaks.

I like your 2nd Oops-all-hammers list the best but I'd drop the relictor since translocation isn't great for melee. Id drop the celesant too as well as the endless spell and uppgrade the annihilators to grandhammers and add more hammers or some chaff/screens. Or keep the relictor, drop the celestant and endless spell to add 3 longstrikes and take Volley (though its a pretty hefty investment fot pretty mediocre shooting).

 

Thanks for your Input. After a some testing I decided to take this list:

 

Allegiance: Stormcast Eternals
- Stormhost: Knights Excelsior (Scions of the Storm)
- Grand Strategy:
- Triumphs: Inspired

Leaders
Lord-Arcanum on Gryph-Charger (195)
- General
- Command Trait: Master of Magic
- Artefact: Arcane Tome (Universal Artefact)
- Mount Trait: Scintillating Trail
- Spell: Celestial Blades
Lord-Imperatant (175)

Battleline
3 x Annihilators with Meteoric Grandhammers (240)**
3 x Annihilators with Meteoric Grandhammers (240)**
5 x Judicators with Boltstorm Crossbows (190)**

Units
2 x Dracothian Guard Fulminators (230)*
2 x Dracothian Guard Fulminators (230)*

Core Battalions
*Bounty Hunters
**Expert Conquerors

Additional Enhancements
Holy Command: Unleash Thy Hatred

Total: 1500 / 1500
Reinforced Units: 0 / 3
Allies: 0 / 300
Wounds: 67
Drops: 7
 

 

LAoGC is fairly mobile and a potent wizard. It worked well in test games. Judicators for some shooting. Annhiliators and Fulminators bring more than enough "Oomph" for 1.500 Points.

So, we are going to have a small GHB 2022 - Season 1 tournament. My GHB is still in the mail and I am not really sure what to field. Also we have some strict rules regarding unit sizes.

1500 Points

• 2 BATTLELINE UNITS (Battleline If do count)
• No Unit over 450 Points
• Only BATTLELINE units maybe be reinforced (BATTLELINE if do NOT count)
• Max. 3 reinforcements
• No tactics or strategies from Tomes or White Dwarves
• No One Drops

 

Battleplans:

The Prize of Gallet (GHB. S.22)
The Mighty and the Cunning (GHB. S.33)
Head on Collision (GHB. S.36)

I am still not sure about the last 80 Points though. Maybe I'll take a DaisArcanum if I need some Mobility on my Heroes.

I‘d go with onedrop and leave 70 pts open for „Inspired“ Triumph. 

As long as Fulminators and Annihilators hit their targets at 1500 w/o godlevel heroes you should have won. 

I‘d take „Call Aid“ over Steadfast March though for more Board Control if your Liberators bite it. 

Hope you‘ll rock it - make them fear the Hammers of Sigmar! 🔨 

 Thanks for your feedback. Sounds a little bit like 4x Fulmis and Annhilators might be overkill at 1.500 Points... 😅

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

 Hello Everybody,

I will attend a Tournament in December. 1.500 Points and no "God Tier" allowed (so no Teclis, Gotrek, Morathi, and so on).

As of now I only had 3 Games in AoS3 and one Game with the new SCE Tome. I struggle to come up with a solid list due to lack of experience and because I can't decide what to bring. 😅
The Tournament is not super competitive (from Dads for Dads 😉) but I still like to give a challenge.

Battleplans are:

Savage Gains
The Vice
First Blood

 

This is my List so far:

Allegiance: Stormcast Eternals
- Stormhost: Hammers of Sigmar
- Grand Strategy: Hold the Line
- Triumphs: Inspired

Leaders
Knight-Incantor (125)
- Spell: Thundershock
Lord-Imperatant (175)
- General
- Command Trait: Master of Magic
- Artefact: Arcane Tome (Universal Artefact)
- Spell: Celestial Blades

Battleline
4 x Dracothian Guard Fulminators (460)
- Reinforced x 1
5 x Liberators (115)
- Heavens-wrought Weapon and Shield
- 1x Grandweapons
5 x Liberators (115)
- Heavens-wrought Weapon and Shield
- 1x Grandweapons
5 x Judicators with Skybolt Bows (200)

Units
3 x Annihilators with Meteoric Grandhammers (240)

Additional Enhancements
Holy Command: Steadfast March

Total: 1430 / 1500
Reinforced Units: 1 / 3
Allies: 0 / 300
Wounds: 75
Drops: 7
 

Fulminators and Annihilators as Hammers. Liberators to Hold Objectives and Judicators for some shooting. Lord and Incantor for Buffs and Magic.
What are your thoughts? Are 4x Fulminators too much? Too few Heroes? What Regiment (might take the "OneDrop" one)? What to do with the 70 Points that are left?
Models wise I have more or less everything available except Vanguard units.

 

Every Feedback is welcome. Thank you!
