My 1500 Points Stormcast List for the Tourny

[The Faithful]

Hey Folks, I've made some tweaks to my list after I played Dave last night, and I thought I would put it up for feedback.

Stormcast 1500
Hallowed Knights - Scions of the Storm
1495 Pts / Drops: 8 / Models: 26 / Wounds: 69

Warlord Battalion

• (G) Lord Relictor (Translocation, High Priest, Arcane Tome: Azurite Halo) - Support
• Gardus Steelsoul - Support
• Yndrasta - Support
• 10 x Judicators /w Skybolt Bows - Ranged Hammer

Hunters of the Heartland

• 5 x Liberators (Prime with 1 Grand Weapon) - Screen & Objectives
• 5 x Liberators (Prime with 1 Grand Weapon) - Screen & Objectives
• 3 x Annihilators /w Meteoric Grandhammers - Alpha Strike / Hammer

Misc

• Grand Strategy: Hold the Line
• Triumph: Inspired
• Extra Enhancement: Holy Command
• Holy Commands: Thunderbolt Volley & Steadfast March

List Building Rationale

1) Lord Relictor because he's awesome. Translocate to allow for Round 1 Take down of essential target (in conjunction with alpha strike capabilities), defensive teleports and objective secures. Not sold on Azurite Halo, could go Celestial Blades - both are fine.

2) I'm not sold 100% on Yndrasta my intent is to use her in conjunction with the Annihilators to basically keep bringing them back, I could go with a Bastian as a second hammer, or a Knight Judicator for more long range threat and grab some Prosecutors to screen or eat an unleash hell, or reinforce the annihilators.

3) Gardus Rules! And can either be in the mini-castle with the Liberators and Judicators or with the Annihilators wherever the +5 ward is most useful in the battle.

4) I'm going with Judicators vice Longstrikes because my longstrikes haven't arrived yet, to keep my points low, and have a few more bodies (wounds) on the ground.

5) Liberators vice Vindictors for reduced points to make everything fit in the list.

6) I can also drop the extra Holy Command Steadfast March and make the list a 1 Drop to try and control the 1st round priority.


I appreciate your feedback!

Definitely looks fairly solid. It will be a friendly tournament, with a lot of new people just playing what they own, so no need to tool it up too hard, haha.

[The Faithful]

Very true, just trying to see what works and what doesn't lol

[dave]

Yndrasta's revive is solid, but I think where she could really shine is as an objective grabber/battle tactic scoring piece. She's fast, can fly, is tanky, and not too shabby in combat. Let her support, sure, but keep an eye out for a chance to use her other strengths to nab those points.

Obviously the trouble with her and bastion is their points cost in a 1500pt game. I might lean toward her just because you will lack board presence as SCE and she makes up for a bit of that.

Just my 2 cents in favour of lady sanguinius.

[Hi I'm Derek]

This should easily be able to contend with the sort of stuff people are bringing. I would probably not include longstrikes even if they arrived lol

[warhammerwilly]

Yndrasta can destroy in combat as well, I've done some nasty damage, but then died immediately haha still fun! The list looks very impressive I can't wait to see it at the tournament!

I wanna find room from Gotrek just for fun lol!

Probably best to keep the Gotreks to a minimum unless we're opening the doors to 'Just Archaeon' type 1500 lists lol
