Hi.

I have 2 Dominion boxes. I want to build a Stomrcast Eternals army out of it, 2000 points.

I am prepeared to add other models, but I would like to keep it to a minimum.

A good sub theme would be Lord-Imperatant dropping down Annihilators and charging inn from reserve. So I would porbably need some mage that can cast Cogs.

Heroes:
Yndrasta, Celestial Spear 320
Lord-Imperatant 175
Knight-Arcanum 134

Battleline:
5 Vindictors 130
5 Vindictors 130
5 Vindictors 130

Other:

3 Annihilators 200
3 Annihilators 200

Ednles spells:
Cogs 45

1465 points

I am unsure about the Praetors and Knight Vexillor.

How would this play, and how would you tweka it? Would it be fun? Would it be crapfest?

Praetors can cover Yndrasta, or another hero like the Lord-Imperetant.

An opponent I played just this past weekend ran one, and was planning on dropping Annihilators with it. To his misfortune, I turned the Imperetant in to a smear on the ground with some Kruleboyz Boltboyz, before his plan could go off.

Shooting weapons. I would add some Longstrikes or Vanguard Hurricane crossbows to the list, so you can reach out and put damage on to an enemy if they properly screen out your Annihilator drops dumping mortal wounds in an aoe. An aware and properly prepared opponent will make sure they're only dropping their AOE on not-so-important targets.

I know that Aos does not have a lot of action here on the forum. But I was hoping that I could actually build an army out of two Dominion boxes. I tried here and on Facebook but nobody seems to know any viable lists with them. I also attempted googling but it seems like a no go.

Is SCE just relying on shooting these days?

Unless you're something like Archeon or Ironjawz, if you have no ranged damage output at all, either through magic casting or shooting damage, I think you're really lowering your chances of success.

Annihilators + Imperetant are good. But you can be screened off of hitting vital targets by a savvy opponent. It's harder to screen out shooting damage.

Double Dominion box you're really just aiming to use big groups of Vindictors to hold objectives, Yndrasta to bring them back to life, Praetors to protect Yndrasta, and hope the enemy gaks it up and doesn't prepare properly for a double Annihilator drop. Beyond that, the damage isn't great.

You could run something like this?
Stormcast: Knights Excelsior
Scions of the Storm

Battle Regiment Core Batallion
Yndrasta
Lord-Imperetant (Arcane Tome or that once-per-game 5+ Ward Bubble vs shooting)
Lord-Imperetant

10 Vindictors (Reinforced)
10 Vindictors (Reinforced)
3 Annihilators w/ Shields or Grandhammers
3 Annihilators w/ Shields or Grandhammers
6 Praetors

The 6 Praetors can be split in to two sets of 3 to protect more heroes, but you'll be at a two-drop army instead of one-drop. It comes out to 1920 with both Annihilators using Shields, or 2000pts if both have Grandhammers. Having less points means you may get a Triumph for the game, and those can be nice.

What about this list?

Praetors prote t Yndrasta. She resurrects vindictors, praetors and Vanguard.

Vanguard and Anihilators are offensive units. Pew pew.

Looks good?

Alternatively you could go msu, take 4x5 vindictor, take command entourage for 4 drop army and take 2 call for aid holy commands. In essence you will have 6 vindictor units. Handy for stealing objectives unexpectedly. I have had success with spawning redemptors.

I have no idea what you just wrote.

Take warlord/command entouragb battalion. Pick up holy command as extra enchantmen. Pick up call for aid twice(extra plus one you get for free). Then ensure you have 5 men sized redeemer unit(like vindictor). Then when unit dies you can use holy command with 1 cp to bring unit back.

Very handy especially as they can appear elsewhere. If opponent doesn't cover objectives well you can steal those back on his turn denying vp's. Lifts of pressure as he can"t use all vs you

Hmmmm... Is it not better to just double Tapp on the shooting though? I can make a justicar unit shoot.
