I'm up for a 1500 game next week. I own the Stormcast from Soulwars and Tempest of Souls as well as a 5man squad of Liberators and the magazine Incantor which i intend to run as an Exorcist proxy.
Running the Grand Convocation battalion at this point would make up more than half the list for 4 models a CP and the extra artefact. Do you think the steady output of the spells justifies being short on bodies? My gut tells me i want more feet then again i don't have many options between ballistae and castigators and i like the mortal wound bombing... opinions?

Are you playing against Nighthaunt or Chaos?

If I was you I'd post the list instead of telling people the boxed sets you bought, but thats just me.

Good luck!

My list was:
Hammers of Sigmar
Lord Arcanum on Gryphcharger, general ( hammers artifact abd trait, Stormcaller, Ethereal Stalker)
2×Knight Incantor (Staff of focus and Chain Lightning, Terrifying Aspect on the other)
1×Lord Exorcist (proxy, Lightning Blast)
Grand Convocation

2×5 Sequitors
5 Evocators (Celestial Blades)
6 Castigators
1 Ballista

The game was a ffa for 3, with adapted triumph&treachery rules, it was a ton of fun. Blowing up stuff with the Incantor's spell abd staff of focus was golden, i wish i had a tauralon and chronomantic cogs for that one turn BOOOOOM
Other than that, i think in a "proper" 1v1 i would have felt the lack of bodies far more. Maybe drop the Castigators for 5 Liberators and the cogs. Still i'm pretty sure the battalion is kind of too expensive and the exorcist is gimmicky at best. But a fun way to tone down the bonkers sacrosanct
