    Thanks in advance for any help and feedback...

    Context: Actively Played WHFB v6-8. My gaming ended along with end timesand death of old world, but looking to jump back into the hobby as life circumstances again allow for a little more hobby time.

    Always liked semi-competitive games with friends and local (usually 1 day) events.

    Been silently observing/reading this forum and other AOS content on YouTube a lot lately. Noob to AoS but somewhat well read. Lot of gameless theory crafting. :)

    Here goes:

    Thunder Lizzy
    12 Drops & 4x battalions - 1985 points
    Grand Strat: Undecided???
    Triumph: Inspired

    Warlord
    Chief on Steg - General - Prime War Beast - Cloak of Feathers - Streak Bow
    Starseer - Fusil of Conflag - Hand of Glory
    10 x Skinks - Boltspitter & Club

    Command Entourage - Magnificent
    ScarVet on Carno - Blade of Realities
    Priest - Heal
    Priest - Curse

    Alpha-Beast Pack
    Steg - Sunfire Thrower
    Bastiladon - Solar Engine
    Bastiladon - Solar Engine

    Heartland Hunters
    5 x Cold One Knights
    5 x Cold One Knights

    Notes:
    - Drops - Yep 12! Figured I'll have enough to do if given 1st turn but can screen if it appears opponent wants to attack 1st.
    - Sunfire thrower? Perhaps a second alpha option in lieu of Chief alpha? Pre-game move, plus Priest run/shoot/charge = opportunity to get in range with throwers to melt a block - maybe surprise an opponent? Also saves Chief/General to Rd2 so that he doesn't die to alpha counter...
    - ScarVet with Blade instead of Amulet as I felt list might need more punch? And extra rend goes well with Starseer spell if I can get it off. Also, this guy never saw the table in WHFB. He's been waiting to go play for a like a decade.
    - 2x Bastiladon- Two reasons...a) there seems to be a lot of monsters and Chaos to shoot currently, and b) a little crutchy...figure these are pretty easy to use comparatively, so they help me get back into things.

    Cheers!

    First Error, Stegadon are Battleline (a Troop) in TL, so they can't be in a Behemoth slot. There's a difference between Monster and Behemoth, although most Monsters are Behemoth.

    Second error, Warlord Battalion requieres 3 heroes, you have 2.

    Now, let's take a look to your list. Do you plan to fight hordes with your Stegadon? If no, Bow instead of Throwers.

    Your Priests are likely to die to shoot, as there's no way of using "Look out Sir" because you have 3 screens.

    How do you plan to get CP to use your abilities? A Starseer and the Heroic Action won't be enough; at some point you'll be using Moment of Glory (+1 Save & +1 Wound) with both of your Behemoth Heroes.

    Since your Knights are screens and you'll likely be charged with them, why using Hunters of the Heartlands. If they were a unit of 10, I'd see some sense on it.

    Super helpful, NecridHydra.

    I forgot to list Starpriest. She'll join the Warlord Battalion. As for the, priests not having lookout, that's a great point. I was already on the fence between two groups of Knights and a block of 30 Skinks.

    How about switching those units, adding Starpriest, swapping Curse for guidance, Triumph to Indomitable?

    This approach offers a more natural target for Priest buffs, but may make CP crunch worse due to skink battleshock...

    I like that list, but as I said before, Stegadons on TL are a Troop, so maybe, you can fit a second Warlord instead of a Command Entourage and gaining an extra Command Point and Enhancement instead of a Enhancement.
