Laura Clews and Amy Clews, who joined the club just before the Christmas break, made their league debuts as Storm got off to a flying start.
Sadie White shot 7 out of 7 and Betsy Willey 7 out of 8 as Storm led 14-3 at the first quarter break.
The second period was much tighter but Storm nicked it 9-8 to lead 23-11 at half time.
Lisa Budd, who's carrying a shoulder injury, was rested as Emma Heller slotted back into Goal Keeper to accompany Maggie Moore in the circle.
Storm continued to pile on the pressure with both shooters again only missing one each in a 14-6 quarter win.
Silhouettes won the last quarter 10-9 as Storm cruised to a 46-27 victory.
Head Coach David White was pleased with the overall team performance: "I thought for the first time out as a new line up it went extremely well.
"The ball moved through court much safer and we had some lovely interplay around the circle edge to supply quick ball to our shooters.
"Laura and Amy certainly gave us drive coming through court, Amy fed some great balls into the circle and Laura made some killer interceptions to win the ball back for us.
"Everyone can be pleased with how they played though, Maggie, Emma and Lisa were solid at the back, Sadie and Betsy had a very accurate night under the posts while Laura, Sharon and Amy took care of centre court."
Storm 1 are next in action on Sunday 24th January in the semi final of the Cornwall Challenge Cup when they face Predators 1 at 10am at Penryn College (TISA).
