Connor Irwin: Congrats to Jorge for an excellent 4-1 showing for Stormcast Eternals. With no easy matchups this certainly highlights the versatility and power that SCE can bring to bear.

The nuts and bolts of this list starts with the Vanguard wing formation, which offers a 3+ teleport once per sce turn, a major boon later in the game to get the longstrikes or palladors into better position for primary or secondary scoring as the table opens up. Jorge chose the primal energy manifestation lore, likely to push out the lifeswarm for some added healing to keep those expensive vanguard units at full steam a little longer.

Starting from the bottom, the knight-relictor leads a utility-focused regiment. The knight is a one chant priest with access to a very useful lore but his best feature is arguably the ability to reduce ward rolls of a nearby enemy unit by 1, making bodyguard and centerpiece monsters much easier to chop down. The stormcoven brings magic support with its fight first/last spell, access to useful manifestations , and a dash of shooting muscle. vigilors are dual purpose buffing and screening units that grant friendly storm cast units a +1 to hit units they damage, a huge boon for focus firing down problem units with longstrikes.

The generals regiment is led by the warmaster murder machine karazai the scarred, with his requisite praetors. This combo has been strong since 4th launched, as you can play karazai aggressively in your turn and due to his massive base still keep your praetors close enough to keep their bodyguard rules all working. This means karazai sits on a 3+ save, 5+ bodyguard ward, and -1 to attacks for enemies in combat with him, with the ability to make one unit -2. -2 to attacks will defang any countercharge threat in the game and makes his 20 health feel more like 200. On top of all this he just gets scarier the closer he gets to the grave. Sharing that regiment are the reinforced vanguard-raptors with longstrikes and vanguard-palladors with javelins. Both are expensive but durable and highly mobile with 3+ saves and run/retreat and charge/shoot, they combo nicely with the support pieces and can score tactics and project DMG table-wide all game.
