Playing around with the new mega batallions in the stormcast book, and thought this list seemed pretty decent (especially for the buffs Hallowed Knights give!)

Hallowed Knights:

Lords of the Storm

Lord Celestant: General, Cunning Strategist
Lord Castellant: Spell Shield
Lord Relictor: Lightning Chariot
Knight Azyros: Shriving Light
Knight Venator: Luckstone
Knight Venator: Luckstone

Hammerstrike Force:
Retributors: 10 models, 4 Starsouls
Protectors: 5 models, 2 starsouls
Prosecutors w/ Javelins: 3 models, 1 trident

Liberators: 5 models, Hammers and Shield, Greathammer
Liberators: 5 models, Hammers and Shield, Greathammer
Judicators: 5 models, Skybolt Bows, Stormbolt Bow

I was also thinking of downgrading a Venator to a Azyros and upgrading the Protectors to Retributors and give the Prosecutors hammers instead.

Thoughts? Opinions? C&C? Not to married to anything, as i havent built anything but the Judicators.

My concern would be model numbers for objectives. Not sure you have what you need for it. But I'm also not sure how to fix it as SC generally do lack in numbers, especially with paladins.

Yep, they suffer from space marine syndrome.

Only thing i could think of would be playing something with the thunderhead brotherhood, but it seems less efficient?

Something to think about i suppose.

If you can efficiently put a to hit buff on the retributors, you are better off with no starsoul maces on them as you can potentially get more mortal wounds from hammers.

How are all the characters getting artifacts, i thought it was one hero per army/battalion?

There are three battalions.

Hallowed Knights
Lords of the Storm
Hammerstrike Force

There are four items:
Spell Shield
Shriving Light
Luckstone
Luckstone

Cunning Strategist is a command trait
Lightning Chariot is a prayer.

The only problem is the only +hit buff i think i have here is the Celestant, who will be a bit slower than the Paladin drop. It might be alright if i lightning chariot him up, but the position might ge a bit finnicky.

Ahhhhh... cool

Not to hijack your thread, but you seem very knowledgeable, is there anyway to get ranged units +1 to hit?

Have a Knight Azryos within 10" of a unit you want to shoot.

Thanks.
Seems like a good way to get a knight Azyros killed....

To be fair, now that they nerfed the Azyros, its about all they are good for. :p
