    400pts though it's quite a bit, you could also have 30 savage orruks with a big boss/wardokk for same amount.

    Have to say, that combo is looking very tasty right now. 60 wounds with a 4+ save in combat and/or all those extra attacks would be a scary proposition.

    Pretty sure you can’t do that anymore. Only 1 melee option for every 3 fiends.

    unless you’re referring to warpfire/grinder/melee layout?

    Yep, that one, as opposed to my unit of 6 shooty Fiends.

    Morning all,

    Taking pure Skryre to a 2k tournament next month. It’s pretty much all shooty, Fiends, Acolytes and WLCs with 3 heroes in the 1 drop Batallion. Obviously it’s going to annihilate or be annihilated. Does anyone have any experience with gunlines?

    It’s a one drop so I guess I’d be looking to deploy outside of their threat range and give them turn 1, as getting double turned would probably be fatal? There’s a unit of 3 melee Fiends that I could deploy off the board so they have to watch their back a bit  

    Against Stormcast or anything with major deepstrike I’d be in a tight spot as they could just come in and destroy me so I guess be offensive vs. what’s on the board?

    Any ideas gratefully accepted!!

    So, it’s low on heroes and CP will be tight but...

    Azyros reroll 1 to hit bubble supporting:

    Aquilor bringing in (and out in a pinch) 9 Longstrikes shooting at anything trying to run away from

    6 Thundercats hitting on 2s wounding on 2s rerolling casting 2 spells with the cogs and rerolling all their saves?

    Quick rules question:

    Stormfiends with Grinderfists - I HAVE to roll the dice every movement phase don’t I, even if I don’t want them? The wording is ‘at the end of each of your movement phases, roll a dice...’ rather than ‘you can roll a dice’.

    I was lucky that I was able to deploy the Dracolines on the board, move them to an objective and charge in these games but obviously putting them up in the skies without any bonus to charge is a risk, even with the free reroll.

    As it was I could put the Castellant behind them turn 1 for the buff and run him up behind for later turns. Azyros went up in the sky so I could put him down within 10 of as many enemy units as possible. He does have a big move though and he hardly fought so you could run him 13-18” every turn to decide where you want him. 

    If all buffs and spells come off then you’re hitting and wounding on 2s rerolling 1s on both for the Thundercats which is boss and those mortals are brutal.

    So I’ve really enjoyed my first couple of (fairly casual) games with my Anvils list (list below)

    Allegiance: Stormcast Eternals
    - Stormhost: Anvils of the Heldenhammer
    Mortal Realm: Shyish

    Leaders
    Lord-Arcanum on Celestial Dracoline (220)
    - General
    - Trait: Deathly Aura  
    - Artefact: Soulthief  
    - Spell: Celestial Blades
    - Mount Trait: Pride Leader
    Lord-Aquilor (180)
    Knight-Azyros (100)
    Lord-Castellant (120)

    Battleline
    5 x Liberators (100)
    - Warhammers
    5 x Liberators (100)
    - Warhammers
    5 x Judicators (160)
    - Boltstorm Crossbows

    Units
    6 x Evocators on Dracolines (600)
    6 x Vanguard-Raptors with Longstrike Crossbows (340)

    Endless Spells / Terrain
    Suffocating Gravetide (20)

    Total: 1990 / 2000
    Extra Command Points: 1
    Allies: 0 / 400
    Wounds: 97
     

    Both games were vs. Gloomspite, a Trogg list with a spider and a block of 60 Grots. The first game I basically lost because I kept forgetting all my rules and used Scions poorly. But the second game I won fairly convincingly, though my opponent definitely messed up their deployment and turn 1. 

    Plusses:

    6 Dracolines are super nasty buffed, they took down a -2 to hit Hag in one round of combat. 

    Azyros is well worth the ‘2CP / 100 points) price tag for rerolling 1s for multiple units over multiple turns.

    Do like the model of Aquilor and having him ferry around the 6 Longstrikes at will is great for character sniping. 

    Enjoying the damage of the crossbow Judicators but the range is definitely a limiting factor. 

    Gotta love that hero phase shooting / combat.

    Minuses:

    Its definitely low on magic with no bonuses to cast, not sure how much difference another Arcanum would make though tbh. Gravetide is obviously dead weight but it’s a fluff pick really. 

    Maybe it’s a little too jack of all trades? But I like how it plays anyways. 

    Will keep playing and trying refinements anyways!! Really enjoyed my games with SCE.

    For me, having read that community article, he looks obscene but I’ll wait until he’s out on tabletops before making any judgements. Would really hate to see him on every tabletop being a broken af beatstick. Let’s see I guess?

    Thanks man. I love the Anvils and I’m determined to make a low model count mini bravery bomb with a faction for my new army, so anyone up for ripping this list to bits? Just updated it a bit. Libs to screen the 6 Raptors, Relictor to buff them with rerolling 1s or is that overkill? Cheers!!
