Ok so I am very new to AoS and have been perusing this topic and the old Let's chat thread for ideas. Thank you everyone for your thoughts and analyses, it helps a newbie out a lot! While I don't envision me ever going to a tournament - I'm much more of a beer and pretzels player - I do like to make "Friendly-Competitive" lists where I at least have a shot at winning, or barring that, my opponent isn't put to sleep playing me / tables me turn one.
The trouble is - I really like the Stormcast Vanguard models. I gather from the last lets chat they are...not good. Which is fine, like I said, but I am hoping I can at least make something that is 1) fun, and two) at least viable, (I recognize it won't be optimal).
Here's what I have to work with:
1 Stormcast Vanguard Brotherhood box:
1 Lord Auquilor
10 Vanguard Hunters
3 Vanguard Raptors / 3 Aetherwings
3 Vanguard Pallidors
12 Gyrph Hounds
Neave Blacktalon
Soul Wars (You all know what comes in this )
My main question is - is there anything I can put together to make a workable army here? Some sort of Mix of Vanguard and Sacrosanct? My local GW store was sold out of the Battletome but I should be able to pick one up tomorrow so I am not sure of what does what at this point.
Is there anything else I should be looking to pick up right away? The old thread recommended running Pallidors in units of 6 to get the most value out of them, is that still the case?
Thanks all, appreciate the help. Looking forward to building and painting all of this!
