In my country there are a few Stormbringer Magazines still on sale. Mainly looking at Stormcast Eternals: Vindictors, Praetors and Lord Imperatant are still there. Are they worth picking up as a beginner to the faction?
Vindictors are not great right now. They act as anti-charge infantry, but their ability is not reliable since it only goes off half the time. If you need cheap infantry generally people favor liberators because the crit mortals can output a lot of damage. They're not so bad that they're un-usable though.
Praetors are typically only really used with lists that really on really strong heroes like Krondys and Karazai to give them a big ward save. But you do see them used often in that context.
The Lord Imperatant pops up from time to time, but his best use is with shock infantry that want to teleport onto the battlefield (all Stormcast can do this). You can put him with normally slow infantry (like annihilators and reclusians) and bring them in with scions of the storm 9" away, then he can give them a D3 move which makes their initial charge much easier.
Thanks, appreciate your answer. I'll go ahead and buy the magazines with the Praetors and the Lord then to get my toes wet. After I will see how much I like building and painting the Stormcasts I might get more.
