New to AOS and was potentially looking at starting a stormcast army using only range units.

Made a rough list using the app and not bothered if it's competitive or even above average, just is something like this even slightly viable? And love variety so thought I'd add a bit of everything

  • Army Faction: Stormcast Eternals
    • Army Type: Scions of the Storm
    • Subfaction: Hammers of Sigmar
      LEADERS
      Knight-Judicator with Gryph-hounds (180)
      Knight-Venator (140)
    • General
      BATTLELINE
      Judicators with Boltstorm Crossbows (190)
    • Thunderbolt Crossbow
      Judicators with Skybolt Bows (200)
    • Judicator-Prime
      Judicators with Boltstorm Crossbows (190)
    • Thunderbolt Crossbow
      Judicators with Skybolt Bows (200)
    • Judicator-Prime
      OTHER
      Castigators (180)
    • Castigator-Prime
      Vanguard-Raptors with Hurricane Crossbows (180)
    • Raptor-Prime
      Vanguard-Raptors with Longstrike Crossbows (230)
    • Raptor-Prime
      Vigilors (300)
    • Vigilor-Prime
      TOTAL POINTS: 1990/2000

anything is viable if you're having fun

#

As long as something like this will still have some models by turn 3 I'll be happy

#

i mean a list like this you either win t1 or you just lose. and i don't see you tableing anyone

#

you have no one to score objectives with

#

the shooting is dope, but you need anvils

indigo nebula
#

Do battleline not work like Troops?

zenith anchor
#

or at least smth to soak dmg and assert pressure

#

we'll you're an all shooting list

#

what happens when someone gets into melee, or you have to contest an objective

#

you just flop like paper

#

so you're hoping to just table them before they get to you

#

but shootcast kinda mid

#

raptors 2 hits from 1 on hits is nutty

indigo nebula
#

Yeh reading the rules they look fun

zenith anchor
#

very fun indeed

indigo nebula
#

I may lower squad sizes of castigators and vigilors and slap dome melee in there

#

Any suggestions?

zenith anchor
#

but you need something to score objectives with. wether that be drakes or libs/sequitors evocators whatever you want

#

it's a game it's all for fun

#

but being tabled isn't fun either

#

storm cast has like 82638383838 different models and units so you can choose whatever you want

#

he'll play all shootcast you'll probably do ok

#

So do Judicators not score objectives then? Sorry still need to get rules, just thought I'd make a list while waiting for them
