*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-Drakesworn-Templar-en.pdf Drakesworn Templar]:''' (MONSTER, Behemoth, 400pts) If you like your Drake better without a meh Command Ability. Like Paladins, Dracoths and Dracoth Celestants, the Templar gets the obligatory choice of your three favorite weapons, and again all of them do different things: The Axe gets 6 swings at 1 damage and has a chance of drastically worsening enemy Pile-in moves, great to keep your Templar safe from small gribbles. The Hammer is more or less a Retributor's hammer but with damage 2, but with the extra goodness of 6+s To Hit making 2 To Wound rolls instead of 1. This can ruin a monster's day all on its own. Be wary that the Hammer does only get 3 swings, so debuffs will cripple you. The Lance also gets you a nice effect: If you roll a 6+ To Hit against a monster with it, you instantly deal D6 Mortal Wounds. Now much better, as its base damage has been reduced to a 1. Again, the Hammer is the more balanced choice, right between Monster killer and tarpit cleaner, but it's not as specialized as the other two; pick the one you think is most appropriate, the Drake will probably do most of the work on its own anyway. He gives a +/- of 1 to Nearby Wizards. He also has a bow which spits out a random amount of attacks every time, but for each 6, instead of rolling that wound, it just deals a mortal wound. Notably got worse, as he dropped down to having a 4+ save, as opposed to the Lord-Celestant's 3+.
**While the Drakesworn Templar has long been "the worst Stardrake" in the community's eyes, the truth is that now, he's finally found a niche of his own. Coming it at a whole 50 points less than the Lord-Celestant option, and taken with the lance, all of a sudden the Templar is a pretty good monster hunter for the All-Dragon Stormcast list, which is where he will probably see a fair bit of use from now own.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-Lord-Aquilor-en.pdf Lord-Aquilor]:''' (170pts) The post given to the leader of the Vanguard Auxiliary Chambers, aka the Stormcast Eternal Rangers. He's got decent combat stats and some ranged capability. The Vanguard Chamber really got shuffled around in this new edition, and he's no exception to it. Now, all he has are Ride the Winds Aetheric, and the ability to give out a free command to any friendly {{AOSKeyword|Vanguard}} units within reach. Before, you could get up to some fun shennanigans with his abilities, now he's mostly useful for babysitting your other {{AOSKeyword|Vanguard}} units. Currently, this only incudes Vanguard-Hunters and Vanguard-Palladors; he can't use the free order on Vanguard-Raptors, or even himself. Groan as appropriate.

*'''[http://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/warhammer-aos-lordcastellant-en.pdf Lord-Castellant]:''' (160pts) <strike>No longer the powerhouse he once was,</strike> The Lord-Castellant is interested in walking alongside Battleline to buff them, and to deal some extra damage. His unique ability is his lantern, which can either add 1 to save rolls for a friendly stormcast unit in 18", or can potentially deal out d3 mortal wounds to an enemy unit within 18" in a 2+ (meaning he can basically cast an Arcane bolt-like attack without it being a spell that's vulnerable to dispels or a prayer thats vulnerable to anti-prayer mechanics like the Knight-Relictor. This kind of unavoidable mortal wound sniping can be key in mid-to-late game fights, and carefully employed can catch an opponent unawares and deny him a pivotal character or lose him a general who would otherwise survive). His buff ability only works on Stormcast now, meaning his usefulness has decreased drastically as an ally in soup armies like Cities of Sigmar. He can acquit himself alright in combat, and has a fairly impressive 3+ save, 8 wounds, and 9 bravery, <strike>but just fails to stand out like he once did</strike> and has good versatility for both buffing Stormcast and tossing unavoidable mortal wounds across the table. Reliable if you want to pay for him.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads//ENG_lord_ordinator.pdf Lord-Ordinator]:''' (110pts) [[Rogal Dorn|A mustachioed non-Engineer that buffs Warmachines.]] Add 1 to hit rolls to {{AOSKeyword|War Machines}} wholly within 9". This pairs very well with the Celestar Ballista which has gone from good to great, and with his ability, goes from great to terrifying (you feel like hitting and wounding on 2+s?). Has the ability to deal two mortal wounds with every 6 you roll to hit, instead of regular wounds. An interesting ability, should his precious war machines become besiged by flankers. He will find himself in lists with Stormcast Eternals or Free City Warmacines.

*'''[http://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-knightazyros-en.pdf Knight-Azyros]:''' (120pts) Your flying support Hero. He's got 5 attacks at 3+/3+/-1/2 damage apiece, but he's got his special little lantern to help as well. His only ability now is giving +1 to hit on an enemy unit 9" of him in the combat phase. No longer a buffer for your shooting units, the Knight-Azyros wants to be moving alongside your other Prosecutors, or calvary.

*'''[http://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-knightvenator-en.pdf Knight-Venator]:'''(140pts) Your flying shooty Hero. Has a whole bunch of good shots at a ridiculously high 30" range, but is by far the worst Stormcast Hero in melee. He can also shoot a special arrow once per game that can either hurt a Monster real bad or murder the face off of a normal Hero with D6 Damage on a 3+. You could theoretically waste this on a regular unit as well, but he really, really wants to be a hero/monster hunter. The biggest problem with the Knight-Venator is now his high cost, and the fact that all his ranged attacks that he prizes so much only deal 1 damage a piece.

*'''[http://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-knightheraldor-en.pdf Knight-Heraldor]:''' (100pts) Oh how the mighty have fallen. Previously, a unique hero with a unique ability, now your single cheapest hero, who doesn't bring much to the table. While he acquits himself nicely with a 3+ save and a broadsword that's alright in combat, his previously inpressive horn got hit with the nerf bat pretty hard. Now he picks a piece of terrain wholly within 18" of him, and he you roll a dice for each enemy unit with 3" of that terrain feature. On a 2+, that unit suffers d3 mortal wounds. Neat, but not as impressive as it once was. 

*'''[http://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-knightvexillor-en.pdf Knight-Vexillor]:''' (120pts) Your standard, Standard Bearer. In melee, he's a Hammer-Liberator with twice the attacks, and he can have a pick of two banners. No matter which you pick, Stormcast Eternals around him get to reroll charge rolls. Also, the banners have these effects: The Meteoric Standard grants you a one-shot explosion where you pick a point within 24", and each enemy within 6" get d3 mortal wounds. The Pennant of the Stormbringer, on the other hand, lets you pick up a Stormcast unit and then redeploy it anywhere so long as you stay 9" away from enemies, sadly no longer guaranteeing a charge or dropping mortal wounds on nearby enemies. No Longer the go-to option it was, but still potentially very useful. The bigest question you have to ask is if you want his new brother for 40 more points? Ultimately, it comes down to which abilities you want more, but where his Thunderstrike brother is pure utility with his once-per-game heal, the default option can either blow stuff up, or redeploy a unit.

*'''Knight-Vexillor with Banner of Apotheosis:''' (140 pts) The Dominion boxset's version, meant to work with {{AOSKeyword|Thunderstrike}} units. Alongside the bubble to re-roll charges, there's also the unique banner which, once per game, can be triggered to use three charges: These charges can heal one nearby unit of 1d3 wounds or restore a model with 1d3 wounds. This also means that you can spend multiple charges on one unit, allowing you to immediately reinforce a very battered unit on the double with 2d3 or 3d3 wounds.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-whquest-rules-en.pdf Knight-Questor]:''' (100pts) Well IF you want to field him, be our guest. The Questor is very self-sufficient, meaning he's not dependent on any buffs but doesn't dish any out either. Your duelist hero, with an alright combat profile that gives himself +1 to hit when he's fighting a {{AOSKeyword|Hero}}. When he rolls 6s to hit, he gets a free 2 mortal wounds on his enemy. An ok hero who isn't to impressive, the biggest problem with the Knight-Questor is that he just doesn't do anything when he's actually in play. A duelist who doesn't have a lot of wounds, strikes first, or any real way to get into close combat with enemy heroes is an easy pass. If you want an actual on-foot assassin, just take the Knight-Zephyros.

*'''[https://www.belloflostsouls.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/errant-questor-03.jpg Errant-Questor]:''' (140pts) Warhammer World exclusive, so expect to pay inflated eBay prices if you can't get there yourself or ask a friend. Similar profile to the Knight-Questor except instead of a rerollable save, he ignores Rend. This might be preferable when facing armies that pile it on. At setup he can take one of three oaths; the first one lets him take wounds for a nominated Stormcast Hero as long as he's within 3", like an automatic Look Out Sir. The second lets you name a Hero in the enemy army, which gives the Errant free rerolls to hit and to wound versus that guy. The final and arguably best oath gets you an extra attack, cumulatively, for every 10 wounds you inflict - and with a base of three attacks at 3+/3+/-1 doing D3 damage each, that isn't too hard. He also rerolls all failed charge rolls, no catch. All in all a pretty strong character; team him up with a Celestant on foot and Castellant for your own little Stormcast Adventuring Party. Surprisingly, one of the few models that didn't get a points increase in the jump to 3E.

*'''[https://preview.redd.it/lrxsvtaismd11.png?width=843&auto=webp&s=a3507bc6fa940fb4158c8067344778943912e6d4 Knight-Zephyros]:'''* (100pts) She can run and shoot in the same turn. Her best ability is "Windrider" - Instead of doing a normal move with her, you can instead remove her from the battlefield, then set her up again more than 1" from all terrain and objectives, and more than 9" from all enemy units. Unlike Neave Blacktalon, the Knight-Zephyros can benefit from Command Traits, Artifacts, and can be part of other Stormhosts. In short, she's a great skirmisher and is a useful asset to keep in your backline to cut off any pesky throw-away squads gunning for an uncontested objective (looking at you, skinks). The biggest thing holding her back is the low damage of her pistol and axes- while she gets a fair bit out of it, she's going to struggle duels against dedicateed enemy melee heroes. Send her to handle chaff and enemy infiltrators that are prowling your backline, and use her to protect your vulnerable slow rear or artillery.

*'''Lord-Imperitant:''' (170 pts) The commander among Dominion's generic heroes. His weapons aren't too bad, with a ranged weapon that spits out random attacks and a pet gryph-hound to support him. Most useful of his abilities is that he can issue a command each turn without spending CP, which is quite useful. Also helpful is their ability to guide fellow Thunderstrike Eternals in deep-striking, letting them arrive within 7" of an enemy unit rather than the typical 9" - in case your unit REALLY needs to get stuck in immediately. In the fluff he's the strategist leader, in play seems to confirm him as this, as his most useful features is his free command ability and reduced deep strike. While he can reliably pump out four attacks with his hammer, and has an 18" shooting with his baton with fairly reliable hit, wound, and rend, he's not exactly a damage dealer, or a tank. Stick him into the thick of it at your peril, since he would be better positioned behind your Vindicators. That said, consider bubble-wrapping him with Praetors so he doesn't get focused-fired before you can drop your Annihilators. The biggest drawback to this lord is just that his deepstrike ability only works with keyword Thunderstrike, meaning you're going to have to bring all the new toys along to get any mileage out of it.

*'''Knight-Judicator:''' (200 pts) The newest lieutenant-type hero. The Knight-Judicator's the big brother to all your little Judicators, and allows you to take the new Vigilors as battleline when you field him as your general. He's got a greatbow that has a range of 30" with 2 attacks at rend -3 and 3 damage a piece. He also has a once per game ability to pick a point on the field and deal D3 Mortal Wounds to all enemy units with 6" on a 4+. He also comes with two gryph-hounds, which come with Warning Cry. If you intend to run a ranged Stormcast army, this one is an auto-include.

*'''Knight-Draconis:''' (300 pts) The new hero mounted on a dragon, and the one to take to make Stormdrake Guard Battleline. He can make one unit of Stormdrake Guard battleline. He hits hard, with his dragon's breath weapon dealing mortal wounds, even giving out a single mortal wound on rolls of one. He also comes with a 4+ spell ignore. Also note that after this hero attacks, your opponent picks 1 model in the unit that was attacked, then you roll a die. If you rolled greater than the wounds characteristic of the model that was picked, it is instantly slain. Once per battle you can also pick 1 Stormdrake Guard unit if they are wholly within 12", and they can shoot their mortal wound breath. The Knight-Draconis wants to be leading your Stormdrake Guard into the thick of it, and while he doesn't get a bevy of customization options, he does get the Aeonfire Blade, one of the nastiest weapons with 2 damage, and rend -3. Give him all-out attack, and there's a good chance your enemies will be tacking 10 wounds just from the rider alone. Not to be outdone, the Stormdrake is a force to be reckoned with as well, who only has slightly worse attacks, wounding ability, and rend than the rider. Oh yea, and he gets Monstrous Rampage.
