Don't be ridiculous. The magic number is clearly: 6 x Hag Queen (360) 6 x 30 Witches (1620) Total (1980) 210 Wounds 100% murder

I'm using 2 sword 3 stave. Almost guaranteed to get all your attacks in. Between high damage, rend and mortals, you've got a solution for every problem.

None of those are shooting attacks, they are all abilities. You can run and still use them and they're not restricted when you're in combat, nor effected by Lookout Sir!

It does count as a drop. I like the simplicity of your list. Gav+ a unit of evos and a unit of seqs for a strike and to mire your opponent in their own territory, the rest to be immovable objective owners. Going to be dang hard for your opponent to fight through all those wounds. I do wonder if just the Gav bomb is worth taking Hammers, or if This is a list that would benefit more from staunch defender.

You definitely need to get used to that. The game is about objectives, end of story. I rarely kill more points than my opponents because I play a pure objective game. Which is one of the reasons I think kill points are a poor tie breaker in tournaments. Why should defensive lists be at an inherent disadvantage to offensive ones. Makes no sense.

Yeah... I've been thinking of super strange lists (as I am wont to do) taking Sequitors to the max and anvils is in the calculus. Check this. Stormhost: Anvils Lord Arcanum on Foot, general (180) Lord Castellant (100) Lord Castellant (100) 20 Sequitors (400) 20 Sequitors (400) 20 Sequitors (400) 20 Sequitors (400) Total (1980) Wounds 178 Yes this is a Stormcast list with 178 wounds. Now this is what I call a cleansing phalanx.

No problem, keep fighting the good fight with your Gutbusters!

July Core rules designer's commentary, upper left hand corner of page 7. Confirms @TheWolfLord has it right.

I always build a prime from each box and make sure to differentiate them in a clear and visible way, that way you can just take them both in the same unit and so long as your army roster indicates which is the prime and you notify your opponent, I'm not aware of any TOs who would take issue.

I agree with this. Decimators are cool on paper but fall flat really hard when there's not a horde to decimate.

Stormcaller: because it's super fun to cast (I probably won't take it competitively). It's not very effective against Death Armies though since they can just regenerate all the models they lose.

I think this is a very well rounded list. No matchups that are too hard or too easy. My only suggestion is to drop the cogs and Geminids for command points. You have no way to reliably cast them and it makes your list less likely to be able to do a turn 1 alpha strike if your opponent makes a deployment mistake. With a pile of command points you can really punish your opponent for leaving any gaps in their screens. Nobody expects an 18" charge and it can be devastating.

I built the alternate knight incantor that came with the magazine last night. By far the best ETB model I've built. The shoulder pads cover the seams and the lion pad is completely discrete. Still not sure why he's labeled as a knight incantor when he looks almost identical to an Evocator (which I'll using him as).

So far. For primes I just leave the shoulder pads and make some other visual indicator. Messing with the shoulder pads is too much of a pain.

I would characterize the Soulstrike+Vanguard list as mayhem based. You pop in and ambush with your soul strike, sowing chaos. Your opponent then has to respond to something while your vanguard is all over the board harrying objectives. I've been really interested in trying the list, some of us had a good bit of debate on it several pages back. Is just unfortunate I have very few of the models...

Don't forget that Stormcast won BOBO the previous week. I really hate to use the term power creep, but in this case, our new tools are flat out superior to our old and until more people have them on the table we won't be able to keep up with the new goodies the other top tier armies have. What's more interesting to me is just how awful Seraphon did. Only three lists at the tournament and the highest finish was like 42.

I think it depends on a number of factors. Is the list you're building the Stormhost that lady Olynder trapped in a reflection? If so, I think that rank upon rank of infantry with their tormented aspects would be visually terrifying and effective competitively. A bunch of cavalry, especially dragon cats, is cool and fun to play though...

Yes, the use of the word other is what makes it clear which player "enemy" refers to.

LAoGC was general, I wrote it down wrong.

Yes and no. A bunch of raptors can do as much or more damage than soulstrike, but soulstrike has a much higher model count and is more effective in melee. Failing your initial strike will have fewer consequences in soulstrike than with a bunch of raptors.

I am playing very close to that list as we speak. Playing casually so I'm using tempest Lords to see how it plays on the table. Edit: won the game against Tzeentch. He let me go first and I got onto all three objectives turn 1 in places of arcane power. I narrowly escaped the double turn, which I think would have won the game for my opponent. Instead, I held all 3 objectives again and he was nerve able to catch up on points in spite of taking board control. Tempest Lords didn't do anything for me. Heraldor was an allstar as usual. I think having two in your list is great. Here was the list: Allegiance: Stormcast Eternals Lord Celestant on Dracoth (220) -general Lord-Arcanum on Gryph-Charger (240) Lord-Castellant (100) Lord-Relictor (100)Knight-Heraldor (100)Knight-Incantor (140)10 x Sequitors (240)- Tempest Blades and Soulshields- 5x Stormsmite Greatmaces5 x Judicators (160)- Skybolt Bows- 1x Shockbolt Bows5 x Judicators (160)- Skybolt Bows- 1x Shockbolt Bows2 x Fulminators (240) 3 x Vanguard Raptors w/ longstrikes (180) 1 x Celestar Ballista (100)Total: 1980/ 2000Extra Command Points: 0Allies: 0 / 400

The reason @kozokus said to reread the rule is that it is written in such a way that it is utterly meaningless. It is an "and" conditional, not an "or" conditional, meaning that all three of the stated conditions must be met in order for it to restrict casting. So the only units that can't cast it are ones that have 6 wounds or more and have two or more models and are not already on a disc. No storm cast units meet these criteria, therefore all stormcast wizards can cast it. It's obviously not what is intended, but it is terribly written.

You're right. It's and. My LAoGC sure is going to look goofy on it.

He can't go on the sigmar disc, he has too many wounds.
