I wnat to use Lord Imperatant to drop Annihilators out of the sky and charge.

Is there any way to increase my chances of that charge?

Can you come on from reserves turn 1 in AoS?

Lord imperatant and reroll. Thankfully there isn't(at least I don't recall) any other way.

And turn 1 is fine.

Endless Spell Cogs

Oh my! That is siiiiiiick! I haven not done the math but rolling a 6 on 2d6 with reroll is very high. A 7 with re-roll is around 80%.

What are good canidates for setting up the cogs/casting them. (And will the 18" range be a problem?)

The whole Stomrcast Eternals is very confusing with so many different entries.

I should probably grab something else that benefits from the cogs as well then. Something fast moving that can counter charge while I screen it with vindictors.

You can drop 7in and charge on turn one is you wish. I did it this weekend and it's great fun! For me personally, I would attached a squad of Praetors to the Lord to give him extra padding against ranged and spells since he needs to be a front line hero to take full advantage of the combo.

Our wizards aren't the best. If I remember correctly, there really aren't any that have any pluses to cast. You might as well just go for the cheap Knight Incantor, who also has the added advantage of having a nifty scroll. If you want to make certain you could also make the Knight a Master of Magic.

Cogs and deepstriking work well together. The cogs have 18" range but the spell can be set up wholly within 6" of the Knight. You've got 24" of reach right there to get that first turn charge.

I played against the Lord-Arcanum(?) The dude guy on the gryph-mount, given the Mount-trait to add +1 to the required roll to unbind friendly spells near it? That was difficult to deal with, made it quite a bit harder to unbind my opponents spells, and I was running Gobsprakk too!

It's speed and tankiness seems to make for a good wizard, but, I'm not expert on Stormcast internal balance, I've only played against them, and only just starting to build an army of them.

The Arcanum on Tauralon looks a lot more interesting this edition. It has an aura of +1 to hit with all attacks, melee and ranged. I think if you're bringing a Lord Arcanum he'll be the way to go now.

Much more expensive model though...

The generic command trait to reroll a magic roll every turn is really nice, considering the non-monster SCE traits are a bit meh.
