Agent of Chaos Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Just picked up the new Storm Cast Battletome and it appears the Knight-Azyros no longer has the "leader of the way" ability and is now 80 points. The app warscroll still has the ability and lists him at 100 points. Is this one of those things where you can use either warscroll however for events etc the battletome wins out and I can no longer lightning strike dudes within 5" of the Azyros? If so that is disappointing for anyone who already dropped $70 on one purely for that ability as he nicely rounded off 1000 points with the basic Storm Cast army from the Rules Box... Sad Panda :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olincay Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Pretty sure the new tome supersedes the older warscroll. Bit of a bummer but he still has his uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulshade Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 If you delete the scroll on the app (Hold when selecting it) you'll be able to redownload the correct version. Be warned though, once its gone. Its gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebiggesthat Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 It was a broken mechanic, so it's for the best. And I'm a SE player. He still has uses and the new lamp light rules are cool, he's just not the auto-include he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wilson Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 For 80 points he's worth having in any list that is shooting heavy. Move 12" and fly can never be sniffed at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul_Veyne Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Yeah, just checked and doesn't look like it has updated the warscoll yet. I didn't have it saved previously either and hadn't purchased the GHB on the app. I'm sure they will get around to it. I would say if you have the latest book I would use that. If you don't want to use him I would happily take him off your hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turragor Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Is the 'choose which version of a warscroll you want to use' a thing that TOs allow in matched play? I thought that was just for open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move 12" and fly can never be sniffed at. This. Not to mention the decent attacks....good for knocking another 1-2 wounds off something tough. And having another cheap Hero with a decent save who can secure objectives in 3 Places of Power early is always nice. I constantly find my lists coming up just 80 points short. It's nice to have something to do with them outside of a Lord-Relictor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, but those were the ones I know were changed (I don't have the book, myself). I've also heard that the Venator added some melee attacks, but again, I'm not a good source for this.

whispersofblood Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Venator attacks with his bow in combat as well now. My books at so I can't tell you the actual stats but can confirm the buff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokapoke Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Interestingly, the Azyros and Vexillor have been updated on the GW site, but not the Venator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent of Chaos Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Still no update on the app but im sure its coming... I also noticed the Thunderstrike Brotherhood battalion is absent from the battletome. How can that be when the rules come with the starter box? Can be used in open but not matched play as well presumably? Given that they can effectively lightning strike anyway (without the reliability but still good) the battalion is probably redundant anyway. Therefore what is the perfect way to fill out the remaining 180 points from the starter box? Currently with Lord Celestant on Dracoth, Lord Relictor, 10 x Liberators, 5 x Retributors and 5 x Prosecutors with hammers (820 points). Options are; 1) 3 X Vanguard Raptors with Longstrike Crossbows - 180 points (only 3 extra bodies but some much needed range support); 2) A second Lord Relictor and a Lord Celestant on Foot - 180 points (my General on the Dracoth would take the Consummate Commander ability so that the Celestant on foot can also get off his 9" +1 to hit bubble... thats looking pretty tasty but then I'm only adding 2 x extra bodies to the army, granted they are both heroes but its a pretty small force as is); 3) A second Lord Relictor and either another squad of 5 x Liberators or 3 x Prosecutors with hammers - 180 points (Adds 4-6 x extra bodies with either more combat power or more shooting/movement, a solid if unexciting option); and 4) 3 x Prosecutors with hammers and another 3 x Prosecutors with Javelins - 180 points (6 x extra bodies and more table control through high movement, plus I quite like the Prosecutors with Javelins) 5) Lord Celestant on Foot and 3 x Prosecutors with Javelins - 180 points (4 x extra bodies, +1 to hit bubble and increased movement) All comments appreciated!

rokapoke Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 @Agent of Chaos, the Thunderstrike Brotherhood wasn't in the initial Stormcast Battletome either. It is only intended for open and/or narrative play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
