I look forward to picking a knight-vexillor as my general and 16 aux units on vindictors. It doesn't matter if the opponent gets an extra CP because I am playing Vindictors. I will always be the underdog and getting those bonuses. Having nothing in the general's regiment shuts down one of the opponents battle tactics. Vindictors are favorite, and first, unit in AOS. I don't think I will ever bring my general out of the sky for a full flavor win.
Thank you for a great short guide to building lists. More short duration guides would be appreciated as they are useful to quickly listen to on focussed topics. More of these please.😊
Played a 2k today vs DoK Lord Imperitant Knight Vexillor Questor Soulsworn 20 Vanquishers Neave & Blacktalons WarLord Vigilant on Drake Knight Vexillor 6 Reclusians Prosecutors Prosecutors Vexillor’s healed over 20 wounds by bottom of 3. Soulsworn and Vanquishers did a lot of work. Vanquishers, being more squishy, are a good candidate to bring back. Neave & the Blacktalons did as much damage as the Vanquishers and Soulsworn. Just for comparison, if you take their points at 360, factor out the included Wizard (120), the cost-to-performance of Neave & Co is 240pts. The weapon profiles don’t look that great at first pass, but it outperforms Questor outside of objectives. The Longstike profile won’t 1-shot a 6-wound hero in one phase, but it will take out one hero in two shooting phases. Their Wizard’s spell is ridiculous for durability, they were constantly in combat and only had one wound end of T3. The “Companions” need a chamber keyword, the Wizard needs to be a (2), and I’d say 360pts is A+ Tier. Lord Vigilant on StarDrake, the “fight twice” ability isn’t worth 210pts, considering you’re using it on Reculsians. Speaking of Ruination units, their ability didn’t activate much against the DoK, or don’t know how to use it right, as it seemed they were never the target of any non-core ability. Prosecutors at 140pts are a solid-B for me, but they help with Synchronized Strikes and their javelins are above average. They have specific targets you want to go after, and ones you want to avoid. Throwing triple sixes on a charge is hilarious though. I don’t think we need more than 1 Calvary or 1 Longstrike. I feel that AOS4 is about managing 200-300pt hammer and anvil units, and if you’re bringing something sub-200 it better be a support unit. FEC seems to play the same. Switch ups: drop Neave, Lord Imperitant and the Lord Vigilant, add in Ionus, Lord Veritant and a Knight Questor? Or Lord Relictor and Longstrikes?
Very good. I might have mentioned that 1950 or less gets you an extra command point on turn 1. Also that you can do a one drop or drop the units in a regiment one at a time but then you need to drop them all out and probably no one will do that. Also that heroic traits are not command traits you can put them on a unit that isn’t your general. Unique units can’t take heroic items or artifacts.
Hi. I really like your content. It's so helpful for playing SCE. Will there be new tier-list video soon? Imo it's very hard to build a good list for 4th edition. Thx and greeting from Germany
from your podcast , i take it that a unit of 6 longstrike with piority target buff is the best thing we have for now right? cause they will also hit on 3+ and not 4+ when they covering fire as well.
@@TheStormkeepGood to know, never got to play Oakenbrow (tree heavy Sylvaneth, and was bummed out Tree lords became heroes. But thankfully they became lieutenants so I can still have plenty of trees in my army.

Based
I mean, you will technically lose your general at end of round 3 automatically
But otherwise, lol
Creative workaround

Very helpful I was completely lost on the adding of heroes to my regements
Dang Paul you are fast
Thanks for the video, Paul!
Great explanation
I would like to see a lore video--give it a shot!
I'd like to order some Paul does lore please.
na, more of the mechanics and lists. For lore there are other podcasts

We are working on a large review of the Stormcast Faction pack!
Are you able to load up multiple warmasters and pick one as your General? And if you can, what's the downsides of doing that?
If you have multiple WARMASTERs you can pick one of them to be your general
There doesn't seem to be any pros or cons to that
Thank you !

Yup 6 Longstrikes in every list
Where can I find seasonal rules for honor guard in general's regiment?
They are in the Generals Handbook, or inside the Skaventide box
...or you can take a peek inside our discord leaky-pipeline channel
@@TheStormkeep thanks a lot)
So, with 0-1 lieutenants, are they 1 per army, or 1 per regiment?
Like say I really liked Knight questors and wanted at least 2?
1 per regiment, no limit on how many Exemplars you can use

Good job, gang :)
