Plus any good range 1 attack action upgrade will help here a lot.īalanced Strategy is a Surge you score after an opponent’s activation if you hold objectives 4 and 2 for 2 glory. Seems limiting on paper but your Thunderhead Greatbows help setup this and the warband has access to some decent range 1 attacks. Just too hard to score consistently with the tight inspire conditions of the Stormcast.Īdvancing Storm is a Surge you score for taking an enemy fighter out of action with a range 1 attack action. Shining Heroes is 1 glory for having all your fighters inspired.

1 glory for having an enemy leader out of action. Lightning Strike (not Strikes) is faction Assassinate. If the Storm of Celestus were a 3 fighter warband then this would be much better, otherwise I would just pass. Now we’re at the card part of the review! As always faction cards then universals.īulwark Against the Dark is 1 glory for having each friendly fighter with 1 or more upgrades each. It’s nice but you mainly want it for the boosted movement and defence. He also goes up to movement 5 and 2 dodge. Sleek Inspired has his Beak and Claws gain Ensnare. Sleek is very unique but I will cover him separately. This should be fairly reliable but it also means each fighter only has the chance to inspire once per round which can be incredibly limiting if you always miss.

The Stormcast also all inspire after a successful Thunderhead Greatbow attack action. However, this helps off-set their awesome damage and threat range. While strong and accurate, each fighter basically only has 1 shot with these guns per round which can result in some feel-bad moments if you miss. These are all range 3, 2 smash and 2 damage with the important rule that they can only be fired once per phase. The fighters generally all share a movement characteristic of 3, 4 wounds and 1 block defence.Īll the Stormcast have Thunderhead Greatbows.

As a 4 fighter warband, the Storm of Celestus occupies a great space in terms of defensive and offensive deployment while also helping you use your activations more efficiently (1 activation per fighter each round). The Storm of Celestus are a 4 fighter warband which puts them closer towards the elite spectrum of warband size. Otherwise they can be easily painted separately from the base and are sturdy once built. Miniatures go together quite well for an easy to build Age of Sigmar kit but I find you still need to clip off some of the pegs here and there.
