LUMINETH TACTICS: Tier list (August '22)

Welcome to a new Age of Sigmar in-depth strategy guide! In this video we discuss the Lumineth roster as a whole and divide the units into tiers. We'll post a re-do of the tiers once the new book has been out for some time.

What units would you have rated differently? Let us know!

[@ross7191]

For me the shrine Luminor is an auto include. Only new consideration for the new GhB is that the shrine can be used by your opponents to get the battle tactic and bonesplitterz grand strategy

"Definetly avoid Ballista in all situations" => Exception: you have a good friend playing gloomspite stone trolls. Take the ballista. And the bladelords. Friends are awesome ! :)

[@strategoi]

Haha, Niva making sure there's some room for wholesomeness

[@jartravious]

There was a list without sentinels that performed fairly well at a 5 day tournament, armed forces in Illinois. Jonathon's List - Click to Expand - Army Faction: Lumineth Realm-lords - Subfaction: Zaitrec - Grand Strategy: Show of Dominance - Triumph: Indomitable LEADERS Scinari Cathallar (110)* - Artefacts of Power: Gift of Celennar - Spells: Etheral Blessings, Overwhelming Heat, Total Eclipse Archmage Teclis (740)* - General - Spells: Overwhelming Heat Alarith Stonemage (120)* - Spells: Crippling Vertigo, Overwhelming Heat, Voice of the Mountains BATTLELINE Vanari Bladelords (130)* - Bladelord Seneschal Vanari Auralan Wardens (290)** - High Warden - Spells: Overwhelming Heat, Protection of Hysh Vanari Auralan Wardens (290)** - High Warden - Spells: Etheral Blessings, Overwhelming Heat OTHER Vanari Dawnriders (140)* - Steedmaster - Spells: Overwhelming Heat, Speed of Hysh ENDLESS SPELLS & INVOCATIONS 1 x Umbral Spellportal (70) 1 x Horrorghast (40) 1 x Purple Sun of Shyish (70) CORE BATTALIONS *Battle Regiment **Expert Conquerors TOTAL POINTS: 2000/2000

[@strategoi]

Yeah, I've seen this list going around. It's interesting for sure, though one good tournament result doesn't mean it's a good list overall of course... Probably very match-up dependent, don't you think?

[@jartravious]

Fair enough. I'm interested to see if it can perform well again. Thanks for making great content 👍

[@SlamTackle]

Really enjoyed this video. Looking forward to seeing how things change when out new book comes out. My main change would be sticking the Shrine in Auto-Include. It's free!

[@strategoi]

I really did the Shrine dirty haha

[@RTBurruss]

I agree with this! It’s the only LITERAL auto-include!

[@jordanknapp7757]

You gunna do a short video on the enlightening preview?

[@strategoi]

Might make some time for it tomorrow after I've let all the options sink in!

[@Andreus9733]

Dude I was shoked when I've seen that your channel is not big yet, your video edititng is an eye candy! Love your content. I'm very glad being part of this comunnity, watching every video from the start of this channel :)

[@strategoi]

Thank you so much! We grow slowly, but in the process I've had the time to get to know some of you. And in that time comments like this one have really kept me motivated to make more.

[@starlord157]

When’s the new book?

[@smugybear]

I don't understand. Why can't foxes issue commands to themselves? They're in the leaders slot which I thought was the requirement to issue commands.

[@RTBurruss]

Because Leader and Hero give two different sets of benefits, even though they often overlap. The Leader distinction, which is only handed out in Pitched Battle profiles, only impacts list building, including Core Battalions. By contrast, the Hero keyword is listed at the bottom of Warscrolls and is the thing you’re looking for for issuing commands. The only non-Hero units that can issue commands are unit Champions, Elites, Warmasters, and Totems, and the generic Foxes are none of these, unfortunately.

[@smugybear]

@@RTBurruss ah that makes sense. In my head the hero and leader keywords were one and the same so thanks for the distinction.

[@strategoi]

@@smugybear Ryan to the rescue 😉. It's an easy mistake to make, Smugy. Let's hope they at least become totems in the next book!

[@smugybear]

@@strategoi thanks for mentioning it! I would have 100% used it incorrectly in a non-competitive setting and then it would have been a real disappointment when I found out I'd been inadvertently cheating during a tournament or something. I'm really hoping that they don't get nerfed since I just ordered mine haha.

[@strategoi]

@@smugybear Fingers crossed!

[@erictrudel1164]

Thanks for this video as usual top quality! Lumineth are still really useful in my case I play often vs a good Seraphon player and Teclis is still a good counter vs a Slann or Kroak.

[@strategoi]

For sure. As long as magic is prevalent in the meta, teclis will have a place (at least with his current rules)

[@adriendegeorges8669]

Thanks again for this very interesting video once again!

[@strategoi]

My pleasure, Adrien!

[@alexandergonsalves202]

Great video as always strategoi. I get so much from your channel. I would personally put cathaller a bit higher but that might be my pro cathaller bias

[@strategoi]

Thank you so much for these words. Comments like these keep me going! I don't know what happened to my love for the cathallar but it isn't what it used to be. When the first book came out, I wouldn't leave home without her!

[@starlord157]

New player here, do Lumineth not have any big punching units?

[@strategoi]

Hey Starlord! They do now. This list is based on the previous battletome. For punch stuff, look to Avalenor and Eltharion. They'll do just fine! Good luck 🥳

[@RTBurruss]

Man, I have a number of reactions to this video! Especially considering none of these take into account Settler’s Gain… 😉

[@strategoi]

That sounds like a separate video altogether! Wait... 😎

[@hades_deathgod9496]

I would have added a tier below good, which is bad, or not as good, because you don’t have that in between something that is good or never taken, and then I would have put lord regent there, and then I would but Lyrior right in front of lord regent, but I agree with niece picks, but you already know they low regard I have for the regent. Also cathallar should be in pure quality

[@strategoi]

Hahaha, a comment in true Hades fashion

[@hades_deathgod9496]

@@strategoi you’ll see much more of these when I’m back in action when the book comes out
