At the end of the day it's a hobby and a pastime we all get enjoyment out of. Your enjoyment is clearly being a rules lawyer and taking advantage of any poorly written rules to win a local event. Your cheeky fun is anothers frustration, but don't let your opponents enjoyment stand in the way.

Dude relax, you legit have no idea whats going to happen and your working yourself into a frenzy. Just chill and wait, see what happens, if it all goes south then your complaints are justified. New stormcast look awesome. Can't wait to add it to my existing army. Awesome how we all like different things isn't it.

I'm pretty low key excited that we might be close to a stormcast refresh. Bring on that battletome update.

Imagine if you were a low/mid teir army as well and everyone complained about you. That's stormcast baby!! I responded, I don't play them but I've played a good amount of games against the new book, I like it overall but the points comparisons are wild.

Your wrong and Joseph is right. The biggest aos tournies are 200 people. You don't become a billion dollar company by selling models to 200 people each country.

I think a more interesting way to use him would be in conjunction with drocoths. Decent combat, fairly tanky and increasing those mw shots to 3+.

Stormcast havent had a proper release in how long? And people still complain about them. Move on.

I've played at least 1 game a week and played a handful of events. Your anecdotal evidence means nothing and just because you don't care about an FAQ being released or not also means nothing. The excuse was fairly transparent lie. As people have said the 40k FAQ released with points and rules changes. Last I checked 40k doesnt magically supersede covid.

Read back a couple pages and someone gives a great explanation. There is a tourny run through as well so it's some good info and insight into the sub faction.

Grats YMH. And your army looks amazing. I took a double drake list to a 1 dayer 2 weeks ago and went 3-0. The list definetly has legs. You just have to work for it.

Interesting. Keen to give it all a spin. Thanks for the insights.

Really good showing mate. Thanks for the rundown too. Are there any other tips and tricks you have or what the specific counters are? I'm building an empty throne list and planning on taking it to an event soon.

You'd be hard pressed killing a mega Gargant with Ballistas. Raptors or kittycators would do a better job, combined with something else. I don't think giants mw output is that big so storms with high armour can sit on them. Problem is they play the objective game better so you have to kill a unit a turn.

U can't without some serious luck kill an ironclad rerolling saves on the drop. As schwabelle listed. The points are so tight with the three battalions that your only real customisation is 3 venators or 2 and an Azyros.

Honest Wargamer does an Ep with Shawn Bates who was the first to put a score on the board with them. I won a smaller 16 man event with the list not to long ago. Your birds are the lynchpin of the list. It's not a face roll list that you can just put down and win, there is some finesse to the list and how you play it. I've found its real weakness is being doubled by a shooting list. Heavy combat armies are it's bread and butter.

Crab claw is Probs from that slaanesh beastman in the Underworlds preview.

One of your main reasons for the soulscream bridge is it's a placement so doesn't count for moving. Great for drakes so they can double tap. Your screen doesn't need to teleport with them. Tempest eye can get you up the board fairly quickly. +3 move and a 6" run can even make your short legs move quickly.

The space marine chapters all got a primaris special character release with their supplements. Would love to see the same here. Release the stormhost sub books with 1 special character.

The interactions aren't nearly the same. To try say that sequitors and clanrats have the same presence on the table is wrong. You don't have to do 5 wound to a rat or sequitors to remove it from the space it occupies. You can't kill a rat and create more bodies on the objective. You can't just bring them back either. Yes the pinks die first and the banner with them. But then the banner gets folded back in. So now you have to put more resources into killing the banner off again. The final game of cancon 10 pinks became 72 wounds at the end of the game across 3 objectives. I play Tzeentch and have for a long time but I'm not gonna sit here and ****** in the wind because I want my dudes to be the best.

Horrors are the real issue, yes flamers do damage but so does a lot of other units out there. Horrors are winning the games by just flooding the board with wounds, that are then folded or destiny diced back onto the table. And them just being auto immune to bshock with any dd is ridiculous. Flamers will die to any competent shooting or melee, you will not get through 100+ wounds of horrors controlling the board.

Stormcast have been the most popular faction with legions of nagash at events forever. Sooo I'm pretty sure heaps of people would love more, including myself. Bring on the ruination chamber.... and a good battletome.

They either be 'lazy' or you wait for another 2 years for a book while they update every other army that came befores old minis.

So did anything come out of these books having no faction terrain but having different rules to make up for it? Or were they just blowing smoke?

I agree. The radio silence is pretty bad. Every week I eagerly await the community page articles leading up to the release only to be disappointed.

Double turn promotes more tactical play. You have to be prepared for it on any new game turn. Positition so you can't lose based on that scenario. Take the risk and expose yourself on the hope you'll get it. Ive won multiple large events and can say that I've never lost a game because of someone double turning me. I've lost because someone outplayed me.
