Games Workshop Warhammer AoS - Easy to Build : Stormcast Etermals Astreia Solbright, Lord-Arcanum

Product Information

Some ride upon Gryph-Chargers who surf the aetheric winds, allowing both the mount and rider to charge as swiftly as stormbolts, re-materialising with talons just inches before the prey. These Lord-Arcanums have also harnessed the regenerative power of Sigmar's storm, sending chains of lightning cascading through nearby comrades and restoring injured stormcasts. [1] [3] [2b] First of all: if you are just starting, collecting your first 2000 points of Stormcast is easy and relatively cheap thanks to the various starter sets, discounted boxes available from time to time and general availability of these models. The Dracothian Guard have 4 different profiles, all coming from the same kit, that can be battleline in a Hammers of Sigmar army.

Some excellent information that we often use from articles like this one comes from YouTube channels like Warhammer Weekly with Vince Venturella, AoS Coach and of course The Honest Wargamer. Stormcast Eternals are one of the most beginner-friendly armies available in Age of Sigmar. While this statement is overall true, we need to consider different aspects of it as well. Paladinsare the more elite infantry (Annihilators, Decimators, Protectors and Retributors), while Justicarsare some of the ranged options (Castigators, Judicators, Vanguard-Raptors and Vigilors).You’ll want to field Astreia on the front lines of your army, and not just so she’s in range of the rest of your Sacrosanct Chambers units! Lightning Pulse, Astreia’s unique spell, is punishing against foes fielding multiple smaller units (like Nighthaunt armies with all those Heroes!) while her ability to re-roll charges thanks to her Dracoline and the additional damage from the Dracoline’s monstrous claws when she does so makes her pretty deadly.

Her thoughtful and precise conduct has endeared her to the Celestial Dracoline Kazra - for the creature respects those who speak with actions rather than the loud, self-assured roars of a warrior. When on the hunt, the two can be surprisingly stealthy, an attribute that has proven useful indeed when prowling Shyish. [2a]In another direct parallel with Warhammer 40k’s Adeptus Astartes, the Stormcast Eternals are divided into subfactions called Stormhosts, closely analogous with Space Marine chapters.

We are a small team of Warhammer Enthusiasts and miniature collectors, hoping to support and further promote the hobby. Astreia Solbright, known to those in her chamber as the Lady Arcane, is a woman of fierce intellect with a logical and incisive mind. The foremost Sacrosanct Chamber of the Hammers of Sigmar - the Shimmersouls - follows her vision as they search the realms for a cure to the flaw that slowly erodes their kindred. In slaying those creatures that are ostensibly immortal, and studying the process that revives them, the Shimmersouls learn more and more about the nature of eternity. Thus far, their quest to find and slay creatures in possession of eternal life has brought Astreia into conflict with one type of foe above all others - the blood-drinking vampires of Shyish. [2a]

The potency of Azyr courses through the Lord-Arcanum, allowing him to summon lightning as easily as another draws breath. Reaching up to the sky with a corona of corposant playing around his staff, he pulls down devastating energies from above that immolate their targets in ground shaking blasts. It is said that these are the manifestations of Prime Electrids, offshoots of the Great Bolts that have been used to level castles and slay Godbeast alike. Lord-Arcanums' command of storm energies can even capture the souls of slain Stormcasts Eternals before they vanish into the heavens and restore them to their bodies so they can fight once more. Their mastery of magic also allows them to use the endless magic that has spilled across realms since the Necroquake. [1] Equipment There are two Stormcast heros on Dracolines, the generic Lord-Arcanum (200 points), and the unique character Astreia Solbright who is a Lord-Arcanum from the Hammers of Sigmar (195 points). Astreia Solbright, Lord Arcanum of the Hammers of Sigmar, on her Dracoline Kazra Also known as Lady Arcane, Astreia Solbright is the Lord-Arcanum of the Shimmersouls, the top-ranking Sacrosanct Chamber of the Hammers of Sigmar Stormhost. Renowned for her intellect, Astreia spends her time searching for a cure to a mysterious ailment affecting her warriors – mostly by leading them on endless hunts to slay undead creatures of all kinds. In the chart above blue represents a unit of 2 charging Fulminators, orange is 2 non-charging Fulminators, purple is a unit of 2 concussors, and green a unit of 3 Evocators on Dracolines. The x-axis axis reflects total number of wounds inflicted including the misile weapons for the dracothion guard, and the y-axis is the probabilty. Three Evocators on Dracolines take on a solitary Stormdrake Guard at the Hampshire GT 2022

The caster conjures a whirl of gusting winds and eldritch lighting, damaging any enemies around the caster. This spell also makes those enemies afflicted by it less likely to succeed while running or charging. The caster summons forth a storm of eldritch lightning of unmatchable fury that damages nearby enemies, becoming stronger the closer one is to the caster.
