====Celestant==== *'''[http://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/warhammer-aos-lordcelestant-en.pdf Lord-Celestant]:'''(110pts) A strong hero on foot that can do an average of 1.75 mortal wounds in the shooting phase and 1,77 damage at -1 rend + 0,66 damages in the melee phase (more if he charges). when he is within 3" of an enemy he can use command ability to give nearby Stormcast Eternals units(including himself) a +1 to hit during the combat phase. At first, he seems to lose out to his brother on the Dracoth, but in the end, you're exchanging personal killing power against the powerful support that might end up being worth more than the hilariously unreliable breath attack of the Dracoth. Make sure you surround him with lots of melee units and keep him alive. He's harder to use than the mounted version, but with careful positioning, he'll be more effective while taking up fewer Wounds. * '''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-lord-celestant-dracoth-en.pdf Lord-Celestant on Dracoth]:''' (215pts) A guy in pompous golden armor and a big cloak who can be equipped with a Dracothian Guard weapon and rides a dragon on lightning. Couldn't be more Power Metal if he tried. He's ''very'' killy in close combat and his CA grants a huge bubble in which Stormcast Eternals don't have to take Battleshock. His ranged attack is potentially devastating, but only if the enemy was stupid enough to bunch up all his important stuff and you get very lucky. With a 50% chance to deal damage, it's nice to have, but you shouldn't rely on it. Due to being mounted, he moves at a fast pace and has 7 wounds as opposed to the "general" hero base of 5. This guy is hard-hitting, fast and durable meaning you want him up in the front line where he can lead the charge and give everyone the benefit of his aura. **the Celestant Weapon choice: *** A glaive that deals more damage on charges, ***A Hammer that deals Mortal Wounds and stops enemy Pile-ins on hit rolls of 6. *** another Hammer that deals more attacks on charges with the best to wound roll and highest damage potential per hit of all the options ***An Axe that that makes more attacks for each Nearby Stormcast unit cheering you on. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-stormcast-stardrake-en.pdf Lord-Celestant on Stardrake]:'''(550pts, Behemoth) aka Rage Made Manifest Hoo boy. Recently received a cost reduction from 600 points down to 500. Now back up to 540. Looking at the stat-wheel, this guy compares quite well to ''Nagash'', with sixteen wounds at a 3+ save and a high flying Move. Melee-wise, the Drake looks lacking at first, having just about the same profile as a Vampire Lord, with four attacks at 3+/3+/-1/D3, which is a good profile, but not stellar for such a huge model. The Celestant on top adds to the beastie by wielding either the same Hammer you're used to from the starter set Celestant or a Sword with much worse To Wound rolls (4+ instead of 2+) but which makes 3 To Wound rolls instead of 1 if you rolled a 6+ To Hit, making him nice and blendy and as usual, both profiles get more attacks if you charge. He also bears a Shield, which does the same thing you're used to and can cause Mortal Wounds on the guys who punch your Celestant. And then you see why the Drake looks so lacking in melee: At range, he can either barf lightning, which works like a Grey Seer's unique spell, rolling as many D6 as the enemy unit has models and every 6 deals a Mortal Wound or he can instead shoot comets, which have '''infinite range''' and hit D6 units for D3 Mortal Wounds on 4+, then before combat, he can just flat-out eat up to 3 enemy models, with higher chances to succeed if their Wound-stat is low and after combat, he swings his tail, which deals Mortal Wounds and is more accurate against larger units. His command ability grants all Drakes and Dracoths in your army reroll To Wound with their Claws, Jaws et cetera, including the Celestant's mount. And he can also adjust casting rolls for all Wizards around him by +/-1. Simply put, this guy is not an auto-win button, and his Command Ability is somewhat lackluster, but he raises holy hell by having a huge threat bubble and crapping out an enormous amount of Mortal Wounds all over the field.
