====Celestant==== *'''[http://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/warhammer-aos-lordcelestant-en.pdf Lord-Celestant]:'''(130pts) An okay hero on foot that can shoot d6 shots at an enemy within 12", and has 5 attacks in melee that can deal 2 damage apiece. His unique traits allow him to deal out mortal wounds instead of regular attacks when he rolls 6s to hit, and he can issue All-out Attack for free, once per battle. A lot has changed since the Lord-Celestant first graced the tabletop, to the point where if you want a melee beatstick to go with your Battleline, the Lord-Celestant should be the first hero you consider. You probably don't want the vanilla Lord-Celestant for your general however, now that his mounted versions have become much stronger, and the inclusion of the Lord-Imperitant into the game. * '''[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 can use the All-Out Attack command once per game for free. 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. To simplyfy, his Dracoth can spit out some mortal wounds if you get lucky, but you will never want to rely on it, as it only spits out d3 mortal wounds on a 4+. The Dracoth's Claws and Fangs will surely tear out enemy battleline, or even a hero if he gets to rip into them, and whenever you roll a 6 for a save, he gets to deal out a mortal wound to whoever had the gall to try and hit him. Pick the Glaive or the Lightning Hammer for best results. **The Celestant's Weapon choice: ***The Stormstrike Glaive that deals more damage on charges, its pitiful damage of 1 becomes a 3 if the Lord-Celestant charged this turn. ***The Lightning Hammer that deals 2 Mortal Wounds on hit rolls of 6 instead of rolling for damage ***The Tempestos Hammer, which only gets 3 attacks at 3+/2+/-1/D3 Damage, but you can stack an additional D3 onto each hit if he charged this turn. While this can deal the most damage in a single blow, it also comes with the worst rend out of his 4 weapon profiles. ***Lastly, a Thunderaxe that only deals out a single point of damage, but gets 2 extra attacks if the Lord-Celestant is fighting against a unit with more models than 1. **With Stormcast Dragons now a potential army option, he's potentially a budget leader option to lead your Dracothian Guard into the charge. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-stormcast-stardrake-en.pdf Lord-Celestant on Stardrake]:'''(500pts, Behemoth) aka Rage Made Manifest. Hoo boy. Looking at the stat-wheel, this guy compares quite well to ''Nagash'', with eighteen 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+/-2/2 damage, which is a good profile, but not stellar for such a huge model, and a tail attack which is D6 attacks at 3+/3+/-1=2 damage. The Celestant on top adds to the beastie by wielding either the same Hammer with better rend, or a Sword with more attacks. He also bears a Shield, which 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 shoot comets, which are now a 4 attack ranged weapon with 30" to shoot, and Rend -3 and Damage 3, 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. He also has a once-per-game ability to issue one free command to a Stormcast unit within 12". And he can also adjust casting rolls for all Wizards around him by +/-1. Simply put, this guy is not an auto-win button, but he raises holy hell by having a huge threat bubble and crapping out an enormous amount of Mortal Wounds all over the field. **Tempted to bring him as the general for an all-dragon list? You bet your are. The Lord-Celestant on Stardrake is a nice middle-ground between picking the Knight-Draconis, or going with big Karazai or Krondys. While not as much of a blender as Karazai, and not a caster like Krondys, this Lord-Celestant isn't going to stop until something kills him dead, or he breaks the enemy line for the rest of your dragons to take care of business.
