Q: Is the book exploring the history of different hosts?
A: There are some small fluff blurbs for the different colour schemes (see the picture above). Besides that, you get a little bit of lore with the host specific battalions (Hammers of Sigmar, Hallowed Knights, Celestial Vindicators, Anvils of the Heldenhammer, Knights Excelsior, Celestial Harbingers, Tempest Lords and Astral Templars).
Q: Does the book give any hints of what stormhost tactics would fit best for those stormhosts that didn't get rules for? I play Blades of Dawn, but I don't know which battalion works best for them.
A: Sadly no specific stuff (atleast I haven't found them). But it's stated that they are quite flexible but stormhosts may be influenced by an influx of new members. Also, there are a few new hosts, but some of the old ones (like Lions of Sigmar) didn't even got a colour scheme reference.
Q: How many / which maps are inside the book?
A: There are two pages with maps from Aqshy and Ghyran, showing sites and stronghold across these Mortal Realms. There is also Hammerhal, a city that dwells both in Aqshy and in Ghyran at the same time.
Q: What does the vexillor do now since it had a huge point drop?
A: Pennant of the Stormbringer got nerfed. Rest is unchanged as far as I can tell.
Q: Has the book rules for the Errant-Questor?
A: Nope, but you get the full rules aswell as point costs with the model anyways.
Q: What does lightning strike do now?
A: It gives the battalion the scions of the storm ability, and if you have a stormcast eternals only army you can modify the rolls.
Q: Does this book replace the Stormcast section in the GHB or are you still allowed to bring those battalions in matched play?
A: It say's the rules and points are used "alongside the rules in the General's Handbook". So I guess everything from that should still be valid ('till the release of GHB 2nd edition).
