This is the Age of Sigmar, so OF COURSE, the sigmarite bois are going to be present. As the Face of Sigmar, you get 3 different factions.

Stormcast Eternals Vanguard Chamber

Faction Overview

A surprisingly ranged Warband with some potential in melee and mobility. For all three ranged fighters, there is also a Leader option. Special for SCE is their Leaders have the same Fighting and weapon characteristics as the troopers just with 30 instead of 20 wounds (Lifepoints).

Pros

  • Tough Bodies: each hunter is T5 with 20 wound
  • lot of range fire: all the main stormboys have Ranged weapons, with Hunters having pistols they can shot while running and the Raptors have crossbows to pick off enemies
  • Fast moving Beasts: to make up for amour, your birds are fast and spam able flyers, and hound while only slightly cheaper than Hunters still back a punch.

Cons

  • Limited modules count and Exspensive: your paying about 200+pts for each fighter and the Hound is 150. Unless you spam birds, your getting fewer activations.
  • quickly go down to crits

Abilities Overview

  • [Double] Tireless Hunters: Add half the value of this ability (rounding up) to the move characteristic of this fighter for the next move action they make this activation. (Universal ability)
    • Fighter Commentary:
  • [Double] Warning Cry: Pick a visible enemy fighter within 6" of this fighter. Until the end of the battle round, you can re-roll 1 dice during attack actions made by friendly fighters that target that fighter. (Aetherwing)
    • Fighter Commentary: this is strong in any faction, especially one that specializes in guns. Pick any linchpin fighter then annihilate him.
  • [Double] Righteous Aura: Until the end of the battle round, add 1 to the toughness characteristic of friendly fighters while they are within 6" of this fighter. (Leader)
    • Fighter Commentary:
  • [Triple] Darting Attack: This fighter makes a bonus attack action. Then, they can then make a bonus disengage action. (Gryphhound)
    • Fighter Commentary:
