*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads//ENG_Castigators_Stromcast_2018.pdf Castigators]:''' (75pts, Min:3, Max:18) cheaper Judicators with a smaller unit size and a Skybolt Bow with less range. Like the Sequitors, Castigators have an ability that allows you to choose between 2 different upgrades: during the shooting phase, you can choose to Re-roll 1s to hit or increase their rend by 1. You could also benefit from both by having a Lord-Arcanum use its command ability. Also has d3 exploding hits on 6+ against '''Daemons''' and '''Nighthaunts'''.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads//ENG_Celestar_Ballista_Stromcast_2018.pdf Celestar Ballista]:''' (120pts, Artillery) Did someone want Quad Heavy Bolters in AOS? Well here you go- The Mustash man now doesn't have to import his guns. The Ballista has 2 firing modes, a 36" shot that hit on 3+ or 4 18" shots that hit on 5+. the best thing about the Ballista is that each successful hit turns into d6 hits with -2 rend. Hordes and single wound elites beware.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads//ENG_Evocators_Stormcast_2018.pdf Evocators]:''' (225pts, Min:5, Max:20) A cabal of Magical Paladins (No Paladin Keyword). Each Evocator model can choose between Tempest Blade and Stormstave or Grandstave - the paired weapons get 4 attacks at 3+/3+/-1/1 with 1" range, the Grandstave gets 3 attacks at 3+/3+/no rend/2/ with 2" range.

**The table below is based on a unit of 5 with no rerolls. If the unit Empowers itself, then they do 33% more wounds irrespective of load out.

:*Based on the MathHammer above, there isn't much in it. A whole unit of Evocators with Grandstaves will on average do two more wounds against hordes but about the same against more heavily armoured foes. Grandstaves will have the advantage against ethereal foes (not to mention the reach making it more likely they will get in). The Blade and Stave will be much better against units with rerolls however as the rend will have a much greater impact. All in all it is probably better to have a mix although large units will want to lean on the Grandstave more heavily due to the extra reach.

:*Unlike true PALADINS, Evocators only have a 4+ save, but on the other hand, they're still Move of 5. A unit of Evocators counts as a single Wizard so long as it has at least 2 models, and it has access to the Empower spell and the Lore of Invigoration(thanks to an errata) but they cannot cast Arcane Bolt or Mystic Shield. Where Evocators really shine, though, is their ability Celestial Lightning Arc. First, it allows the unit to re-roll save rolls of 1 in the shooting phase, but second, it allows the Evocator unit to, after attacking, roll 2 dice for each Evocator in the unit, and each 4+ deals a mortal wound to an enemy unit within 3" of the Evocator unit. This works on a unit-by-unit basis instead of model by model, so so long as one Evocator is within 3" of an enemy, you can choose that enemy as the target. On average, you'll do one mortal wound per Evocator. A good way to use this is to select the Evocators as the first unit you activate and pile them in so that one model is within 3" of an important character, resolve all your attacks against another unit, and then deal the mortal wounds from Celestial Lightning Arc to a character, most likely killing the character before they get a chance to attack and denying your opponent critical support abilities. As you can tell, Evocators are very very good right now. Unless you have a compelling argument otherwise, you should be running them.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads//aos_warscroll_stormsires_cursebreakers_en.pdf Stormsire's Cursebreakers]:''' Only usable alongside Averon Stormsire. A pair of Evocators with 1 extra attack each and rerolling 1s against Death and Chaos.
