This is more of a long term army idea, but I'm curious if I should focus on finishing off my Seraphon army or should I dip into Stormcast here or there with small purchases? I like both as elite armies and I already have around 1k points worth of Seraphon, but I'm going to trade my Necrons for some Vindicators and I'm wondering if I should try a long term Stormcast army for the end of this year to the next.

Some questions I have are followed:
1.How are Stormcast doing atm in the game? While I'm more of a casual player I would like an army that doesn't die as much as my Chaos Daemons or my Orks.

2.How easy are Stormcast to assemble? I am looking for an army that is easier to assemble than my Seraphon and my Necrons.

3.How easy is it to collect Stormcast? Compared to Seraphon I mean.

4.What do Stormcast do better that Seraphon can't in the 4th edition?

Either I just focus on finishing up my lizards, or I collect both army models from here until next year. I like both armies, but I need a analysis here to see if Stormcast would be worth a long term investment compared to just rushing to finish up my Seraphon list as I already have Orks, Chaos Daemons, and I want Seraphon to be my third army. Yet, Stormcast tempt me.

1. SCE are doing decently, but their book is going to go on order end of the month, so it's kind of pointless to speculate until it's in the wild and people have had a chance to get to grips with it.

2. Incredibly easy. They're not complicated in the slightest, not even their monsters.

3. Again, very easy. They're the posted boys and in all the starter kits/promo stuff. You should be able to find the bulk of the army on discount or people offloading starter stuff for cheap.

4. Stormcast are primarily a hammer (heh) force. Good saves, hit hard. Seraphon are mainly more squishy.

Stormcast are pretty tough compared to Chaos Daemons and Orks, so you might enjoy the change.

Maybe start small with Stormcast while finishing your Seraphon? That way, you can enjoy both worlds
