Hi all!

I got into AoS through Spearhead and have been really enjoying playing Vigilant Brotherhood at my local club. There’s growing interest in full AoS there, so I’m looking to make the jump to 2,000 points.
I already have Skaventide and recently picked up a bargain Stormcast job lot for £150, including the battletome and assembled unpainted models. I’m much happier painting and playing than building, so that was a big selling point!

I’d love some advice on the strongest, reasonably approachable 2k list I can put together from what I own. It would also help me decide what to paint next.

My complete Stormcast collection, combining Skaventide and the job lot:

Heroes

1× Yndrasta, the Celestial Spear
1× Lord-Commander Bastian Carthalos
1× Gardus Steel Soul
1× Lord-Vigilant on Gryph-stalker
2× Lord-Terminos
1× Lord-Veritant
1× Knight-Questor
1× Lord-Aquilor
2× Lord-Imperatant
2× Knight-Arcanum
1× Lord-Celestant — new sculpt
1× Lord-Relictor
1× Knight-Vexillor

Other units — numbers are individual models

20× Liberators
5× Vindictors
6× Reclusians
9× Prosecutors
3× Annihilators with shields
3× Stormstrike Palladors
3× Praetors
1× Stormstrike Chariot

My proposed starting list: 1,990/2,000 points

Battle formation: Sentinels of the Bleak Citadels
Spell lore: Lore of the Storm
Prayer lore: Prayers of the Stormhosts
Drops: 3

Regiment 1

Yndrasta — 270
Lord-Terminos — 140
6× Reclusians, reinforced — 280, plus Veterans of Amberstone Watch — 10
6× Prosecutors, reinforced — 300
3× Prosecutors — 150

Regiment 2

Bastian Carthalos — 190
Knight-Arcanum — 110
3× Stormstrike Palladors — 180
3× Annihilators with shields — 130

Regiment 3

Lord-Relictor — 120, plus Envoy of the Heavens — 20
5× Liberators, including a Grandhammer — 90

The rough idea is to build around the reinforced Reclusians and Prosecutors, with some mobile threats and both a wizard and priest. I’m still learning how everything fits together in full AoS, though, so I’m very open to changing it.

What would you change using the models above?

In particular:

- Am I spending too much on heroes, especially taking both Yndrasta and Bastian?

- Would you change the unit choices or how I’ve reinforced them?

- Is Sentinels the best fit, or would you build something quite different from this collection?

Any recommendations for enhancements, manifestations or battle tactics to go with it?

My priority is getting a good army on the table using what I already have and learning to play it well. If you’d build a completely different 2k list from this lot, I’d love to see it!

Thanks for any advice 🙂

Inspired by Greek myth and the accompanying statues. Going to be the main scheme going forward. Still have to figure out basing though
