AoS 2000pt Playing 2 games against stormcast this week

[Theo]

Hey guys, so I have the luck of getting to play 2 games against two different stormcast players, I know they are both bringing stardrakes and that the first guy usually plays the hammerstrike force while the second guy says he enjoys playing alot of mounted stormcast, so not exactly sure what he is bringing. Anyway, I'm kinda swinging between two different lists. The first one being a slann/kroak list similar to what blitzkriyg posted on the forum. The other one being a thunderquake, inspired by the recent adepticon winner. I have made the base for both of the lists and am now looking for feedback on what to fill them out with.

LEADERS
Skink Starpriest (80)
Slann Starmaster (260)
- General
Lord Kroak (450)
Saurus Astrolith Bearer (160)
UNITS
10 x Skinks (60)
- Boltspitters & Star Bucklers
10 x Skinks (60)
- Boltspitters & Star Bucklers
10 x Skinks (60)
- Boltspitters & Star Bucklers
6 x Ripperdactyl Riders (280)
BATTALIONS
Shadowstrike Starhost (180)
ENDLESS SPELLS
Balewind Vortex (40)
Chronomantic Cogs (60)
Aethervoid Pendulum (40)

This leaves me at TOTAL: 1730/2000

leaving room for perhaps an engine, a block of 40 skinks or perhaps yoloing it up to 9 rippers what do you guys think?

The second list looks a little something like this:
LEADERS
Engine of the Gods (220)
- Artefact : Ethereal Amulet
Slann Starmaster (260)
- General
- Command Trait : Great Rememberer
- Artefact : Incandescent Rectrices
Saurus Astrolith Bearer (160)
UNITS
3 x Kroxigor (160)
- 1 x Moonhammers
10 x Skinks (60)
- Boltspitters & Star Bucklers
10 x Skinks (60)
- Boltspitters & Star Bucklers
10 x Skinks (60)
- Boltspitters & Star Bucklers
3 x Ripperdactyl Riders (140)
BEHEMOTHS
Bastiladon (280)
Stegadon (220)
BATTALIONS
Thunderquake Starhost (120)

TOTAL: 1740/2000, again about 250 to go, what do you guys think? more rippers? more skinks?, throw some endless spells in there? im really not sure...

Thankful for any feedback or ideas that you guys might have

P.S I know this thread should be in the army list forum but can't for the life of me find a way to remove or move this thread :/ maybe a mod can help me?

Hi!

OK, SCE usually can count on a good defense, and i racall they can arrive, on some units, to have a save 2+, rerolling 1s and also healing on successful rerolled saves. (Fulminators, as we are also speaking about mounted stormcast)

ok, the first list decisely needs an EotG

The second list could need a little MWs or at least some solid rend. Insert 4 salamanders w. handlers, and the Cogs for further summoning

Yea, they deffinately have some insane saves on the stormcast so some mortal wounds would be good! I think I agree on the engine for the shadowstrike list, I will try and fit some MW into the second list I guess!

Yeah, mortal wounds or good rend. The reason why a listed sallies: -2 is nothing to laugh at.

I would take the Kroak List. SCE are wrecked by mortal wounds.
