	*'''Lord-Imperitant:''' (175 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.		*'''Lord-Imperitant:''' (175 pts) The commander among Dominion's generic heroes.

	*'''Knight-Judicator:''' (~~205~~ 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-Judicator:''' (200 pts) The newest lieutenant-type hero.

If you intend to run a ranged Stormcast army, this one is an auto-include.

	*'''Knight-Draconis:''' (255 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.		*'''Knight-Draconis:''' (255 pts) The new hero mounted on a dragon, and the one to take to make Stormdrake Guard Battleline.

	* '''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads//ENG_Stormcast_Everblaze_Comet.pdf Everblaze Comet]:''' (100pts) Comet of Cassandora, Stormcasts edition. When it comes down, it hits everything within 10" for a bunch of Mortal Wounds determined by a D6 roll - on a 1, the unit takes a single Mortal Wound. On a 2-5, the Unit takes D3 Mortal Wounds, and on a 6, the Unit takes D6 Mortal Wounds! Also, all Wizards must subtract 1 from their casting rolls while they are 10 inches or closer to the comet. This spell got, well, reduced in points, and in value. It can no longer keep spitting out mortal wounds round after round, this combined with the fact that it costs 100 points, forces you to be '''extremely''' cautious about where and when to put it.		* '''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads//ENG_Stormcast_Everblaze_Comet.pdf Everblaze Comet]:''' (100pts) Comet of Cassandora, Stormcasts edition.

	*{{AOSKeyword\|The Phonecium}}: Kinda hard to work with here. Stormcast are expensive. Sure, you can send packs of chaff to fuel your big boys' strikes, but that's just whack. Aetherwings can make decent enough chaff, tho, and the anti-charge ability can give you some control about when they die. Plus, you can paint them as mini Phoenixes!		*{{AOSKeyword\|The Phonecium}}: Kinda hard to work with here. Stormcast are expensive.

	**As we wait for Cities of Sigmar (or Dawnbringer Crusades, or Redeemers, or whatever GW wants to call the soup faction now) to get a new exclusive book, Stormcast got several new options for taking Cities of Sigmar units in a {{AOSKeyword\|Stormkeep}} list instead of the other way around, and there is the Sacred Charge Grand Strategy and Pioneers of the Realm Battle Tactic that you can get mileage out of, if you're feeling up for it. Potentially, this is a good way to take something from the Cities list that can do just as good as Stormcast (if not a little better, or more specialized than Stormcast are) and save on points, or potentially just make an interesting, weird list using some of the unique options from Cities of Sigmar. Just remember that your mortal companions aren't as tough and as enduring as Stormcast are, and that additional protections will be needed to ensure that they survive the fight- especially if you're playing with the Sacred Charge Grand Strategy.

	*'''Yndrasta, the Celestial Spear:''' (320 pts, Unaligned) Dominion's big centerpiece [[Sanguinius]]-chan is quite a dangerous showing. She's a flying {{AOSKeyword\|Thunderstrike}} hero with a 3+/4++ save and equipped with some very dangerous weapons. Both of them wound on a 2+ with -2 Rend, but the spear deals d6 wounds at range while the sword only deals 3. This is especially a problem for monsters, as she also has a 3" aura that forces any monsters she faces to act as if they've suffered 10 additional wounds, meaning that her very presence can nerf greater daemons and other monsters before she attacks them. That said, she's not entirely offensive. Friendly Stormcast and Cities of Sigmar units within 12" can ignore battleshock and once per turn she can raise one model for a Stormcast unit with a wounds characteristic of 3 or less - incredibly useful since now you aren't only gaining back those models for attacking but also to act as reloading kamikazes. Send her monster hunting for best results, then send her after enemy heroes.		*'''Yndrasta, the Celestial Spear:''' (320 pts, Unaligned) Dominion's big centerpiece [[Sanguinius]]-chan is quite a dangerous showing.

			** Do note that while she ruins almost every monster in the game, do not under any circumstances have her engage Skarbrand, as ol' big red at -10 wounds will delete Yndrasta and any other unit engaging him.

He's Sigmar's favorite Stormcast, and it shows. His tempestos hammer, Heldensen, deals 3 wounds rather than D3. In addition he has a ranged attack that always deals d3 mortal wounds on a 4+, making for a nice shot for softening up enemies, but nevery something to rely upon. He gets 2 extra attacks if he's charged, and he automatically grants battleshock immunity to all {{AOSKeyword\|Hammers of Sigmar}} units within 24". Curiously, he's picked up a new trick this edition, allowing you to grant 1 {{AOSKeyword\|Hammers of Sigmar Redeemer}} unit wholly within 12" of him an extra attack for all their weapons. If you take Vandus to the field, run him alongside your Battleline as a linebreaker, where he can deal the most damage. Sadly, despite a decrease in points, he's not as useful as the generic option in a dragons-only list.		*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads/Vandus_Hammerhand_CB_Web%20-%20cropped.pdf Vandus Hammerhand]:''' (215pts, {{AOSKeyword\|Hammers of Sigmar}}) Dracoth-borne Lord-Celestant of the Hammerhands, the first chamber of the Hammers of Sigmar.

Well here you go- The Mustash man now doesn't have to import his guns, and with the advent of a new Battletome, this thing has gone from ok, to terrifying. The Ballista has two firing modes, you have to pick one when you shoot with it. The first is a single 36" shot at 3+/2+/-3/D6 damage. The second is 2d6 shots at 18" at 4+/3+/-2/1 damage. Use the first firing mode to take out heroes, monsters, and chip damage at multiwound infantry, use the latter to lay the pain against hordes. Similarly, don't forget to put this thing close behind your Battleline so it can Unleash Hell on your opponents. An enemy hero getting a surprise Lightning-charged Shot to the face right before combat will not be particularly pleasant for them. Otherwise, consider keeping a spare hero (like one of your wizards, or the Lord-Imperitant) near the ballista, so it can benefit from all-out attack while it puts rapid fire volley after volley into the enemy hordes. Dakka has never tasted so good.		*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads//ENG_Celestar_Ballista_Stromcast_2018.pdf Celestar Ballista]:''' (140pts, Artillery) Did someone want Quad Heavy Bolters in AOS?

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 1" range. While the Mathhammer of old was still technically viable, the problem is nowadays that they've lost a way to shit on Death and Daemons like they used to. Here's the long and short of it, the Tempest Blade and Stormstave is better against infantry, while Grandstaves are better against multi-wound elites- the only problem is that the Grandstaves still don't have rend!!! With Stormcast going back down to just Lore of the STorm, Evocators only know Empower, but they can still unbind a spell just like the good old days- it's just that they don't have the Wizard keyword for Prized Sorcery Grand Strategy. Let's go over Empower first. Pick a friendly {{AOSKeyword\|Redeemer}} or {{AOSKeyword\|Sancrosanct}} unit within 12", if you cast Empower on them, they get +1 to wound until your next hero phase. This spell turns Liberators into fairly offensive infantry, and Sequitors and Vindictors into efficient infantry when paired with All-Out Attack. Their other ability is Celestial Lightning Arc. After the Evocators fight in combat, pick an enemy unit within 3", and roll 2 dice for each model in that unit- for each 4+, that enemy takes a mortal wound. Not as powerful as they once were, Evocators are still a force to be reckoned with. Specifically, these guys are well at-home on the ground, moving up the battlefield with your infantry, buffing them and aiding them in battle. Just remember to activate these guys first for combat.		*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads//ENG_Evocators_Stormcast_2018.pdf Evocators]:''' (230pts, Min:5) A cabal of Magical "Paladins" (No Paladin Keyword, so no battleline, sorry).

Also a solid ally to any Order faction that doesn't have wizards of their own. <strike>Has gained a small merit to note now that Spirit Flasks can be used to dish out mortal wounds to an enemy, and then potentially kill the Knight-Incantor, proccing Blaze of Glory. Is it really worth it though? Probably not</strike> Alas, none of this is a thing anymore, nothing to see here. Anywho, they're best taken as your budget wizard.		*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads//ENG_Knight_Incantor_Stormcast_2018.pdf Knight-Incantor]:''' (125pts) The on-foot wizard from Soul Wars. Nothing to write home about in melee, and not a particularly impressive caster with only 1 each cast and deny with no bonus. The Knight Incantor does, on the other hand, come with a Voidstorm Scroll, a once-per-game ability that can be used before rolling to make an Unbinding roll automatically succeed. This can deny your opponent a critical spell, breaking a combo or saving one of your units. Finally, Her unique spell creates a Storm that gives -1 to Charge and Run of all enemies within 18".

	*'''Knight-Arcanum:''' (135 pts) From the Dominion Boxset. An otherwise ordinary wizard who acts as a 3" bubble of denial for predatory Endless Spells - no spell can go into or through this space, which can give you a bit of breathing room. Their unique spell acts like an Arcane Bolt that can pick who it hits in exchange for any overcasting benefits, and its range is boosted for every {{AOSKeyword\|Thunderstrike}} unit wholly within 12" of the caster. The Knight-Arcanum's melee abilities are notably a worse iteration of both the Knight-Incantor and the Lord-Arcanum's melee. While promising d3 wounds, having to wound on 4+s means that the Knight-Arcanum is best spent away from the thick of it. At the end of the day, the Knight-Arcanum's real role is endless spell denial, put her in her back line where your opponent is liable to drop their predatory spells, and keep her with your battleline that you want to stay alive. Any honestly, she has to compete with the Knight-Incantor, who is both cheaper and better at shutting down enemy magic at the source with her voidstorm scroll.		*'''Knight-Arcanum:''' (135 pts) From the Dominion Boxset.
