My intention: A list that looks fun to play on paper. Hopefully not too obnoxious for opponents in a meta that varies between mid-table lists with good pilots, or some nasty meta lists, barring some of the extreme lists like Archeon, KO and Seraphon.
Stormcast Eternals - 1990pts
Stormkeep
Anvils of the Heldenhammer (Maybe?)
Leaders
Knight-Draconis
Bastian Carthalos - Probably w/ Thunderbolt Volley
Battleline
2 Stormdrake Guard
5 Vanquishers
5 Vindictors
10 Vindictors
Others
3 Aetherwings
3 Vanguard w/ Hurricane xbows
3 Vanguard w/ Longstrikes
Not fully decided on my Relic choice, nor my choice of Stormhost.
Anvils seemed like it would help me out with my general gameplan, of ramming the Draconis and Stormdrake in to the enemy lines, and trying to hold them there for a bit. Celestial Menagerie(I've been informed that it doesn't work on Stormdrakes, and Battlescribe is lying to me), an Amulet of Destiny (if I end up taking it... that relic is just too damn good), getting off a Roar, popping Finest Hour, All out Defense, etc etc. Seems like it could work out well enough, barring some dirty Unleash Hell from MW-shooters. But then, that's what I have the Longstrikes and Hurricanes for, to be able to reach out and touch certain targets.
On the other hand, Hammers of Sigmar lets me do all Bastian's things, and I get extra protection on objectives.
The shooters, and the Redeemer Battleline w/ Bastian aim to hold objectives. We're not terribly fast, so it's hoping for the dragons and shooting to hold the enemy back for at least a bit. Vanquishers are in there cause I think they're cool. Aetherwings cause the points work out like that.
I can drop the Aetherwings, go to 1925pts, hope for a Triumph, and fit everything inside a 1-drop to aim for having my choice of first turn or not.
Thoughts, opinions, suggestions?
-edit- Another group told me that Celestial Menagerie doesn't work because the Stormdrake don't have Behemoth. Battlescribe has an error it seems, where Knight-Draconis has the Keyword. Need to find a new trait now...
