I recently got in to playing AOS, I currently only own 10 Sequitors, 5 Castigators, 3 evocators, 2 Celestar Ballista, 1 knight questor (converted from a spare Sequitor after this game), 1 knight-Incantor, and 1 lord-Arcanum on gryh-charger.

I bought a Stormcast half of soul wars, not realizing that unlike 40k you can't pay for individual models after the base amount...

I ran a list recently and Id like some feedback.

1 lord Arcanum on Gryph-charger
1 knight-Incantor

5 man Sequitors- prime has a greatmace, and 1 model has a great mace
5 man Sequitors- prime has a greatmace, and 1 model has a great mace

1 Celestar Ballista
1 Celestar Ballista

5 Castigators, I paid for a 6 man but only had 5 models.

A friend has a stormcast half of the blightwars box i was thinking of picking up, any thoughts?

the same friend also has two halves of the same soul wars box i got, which is where i got the second ballista, and the 3 man etb sequitors from. I was going to try to get the remaining 16 sequitors that he has off of him, and then pick up another 3 man ETB to fill out 30 sequitors. I was basically trying to pick up his Stormcast army bits at a time, to get my self a decent sized Stormcast army. so eventually I would end up with triple of everything form the soul wars box, I dont necessarily want to do that, but we will see what happens, he also has an Ordinatori was planning to pick up to make the deep striking ballista even better.

Thanks for the feedback.

Oh and from the game I played, I agree that the castigators are not so great...

Could someone confirm that this rule works the way I think it does?

Lord Arcanum, on Gryph-Charger

Soul Energy:

You can use this command ability in your hero phase, your shooting phase, or the combat phase.

Does this mean I can activate it during my opponents combat phase? The only FAQ I could find that is similar just says that if a command ability doesn't specify a phase you use the hero phase.

I think that it's because the Sequitors, whos ability it is activating, can activate in both your combat and your enemies combat phase

Yup, it can be used during their combat phase.


Im guessing that because it says once per turn its once per 2 player turns right? as in i cant use it till we roll initiative again.

also would you consider Castigators a good proxy/conversion for Judicators with crossbows? I cant find any scale to compare them to see if they are about the same height/size.

Out of curiosity, what makes the Judicators better than castigators? is it that Judicators are 5 for 160, and reroll ones against chaos, or the fact that they are battlelines?

and what makes the normal bows better than the crossbows?
from the stats, I assumed that the 3-4 shots from the crossbows at 12" was better than the 1-2 shots from the bows at 24".

you are definitely right on all accounts, ive been using the 5 that come in the soul wars box to kinda fill out my remaining points, but ive been thinking of just getting a third ballista, or an ordinator, to buff the other two i already have. if i take the ballista id have 50 points remaining that i could drop on a command point, or i could take an ordinator and have about 20 points remaing. im just not sure which i want to go with even though i want both lol. The ballista have been doing some heavy lifting in the few games i played. and i was thinking that when i moved up to a 2k game, i would grab a second arcanum on gryph-charger, since they can buff my Sequitors and heal models, while also throwing smites at people. Thoughts on that?

on the other hand if i drop the castigators and then incantor, i could run 2 10 man squads of sequitors.

All of those options sound good, though incantors are so useful I would be hesitant to drop it.


I know they are, and i do like my incantor, i just wonder if it would be worth dropping him to get the extra hit chance on the ballistas.
