I think that Kryssa in theme might actually be pretty good. The list has a ton of anti infantry power,and against jackspam you can use Precision Strike on the Soldiers to rip out cortexes so that the jacks can't shake shadow bind. My plan is something like this, possibly paired with a Fyanna2 Ravens list for ADR shenangins: conflictchamber.com/#ba1b_-0ug3g_cOcOaLaLaLbkbla_b0befUbbLegion Army - 75 / 75 points [Theme] Children of the Dragon !!! Your army contains a pre-release entry. !!! You are using a pre-release theme. (Kryssa 1) Kryssa, Conviction of Everblight [+31] - Azrael [21] - Nephilim Bloodseer [8] - Nephilim Bloodseer [8] - Nephilim Soldier [9] - Nephilim Soldier [9] - Nephilim Soldier [9] Blighted Nyss Hex Hunters (max) [15] - Bayal, Hound of Everblight [0] Blighted Nyss Swordsmen (max) [15] - Blighted Nyss Swordsman Abbot & Champion [0] Blighted Nyss Sorceress & Hellion [6] Blighted Nyss Warlord [5] Blighted Nyss Shepherd [1]

Oracles don't allow forsaken in theme. So while you can say Abby2 loses nothing it isn't entirely true. The theme lets you take models/units with magic ability. Forsaken have magic ability. They can be taken. You just blew his mind.

I never paid attention to that on the forsaken. That means anything that prevents spells prevents those abilities too. Thanks for informing me

Someone posted a Fyanna2 list on the Legion FB page that was something like:
Theme: Oracles of Annihilation
Fyanna2 - 3x Angelius - 3x Neraph - Raek - Naga Nightlurker
2x Sorceress & Hellion 2x Forsaken
With how annoying Angels are to assemble and how decidedly 'meh' I find Neraphs, I never thought I'd find myself considering buying a third of each...
In all likelihood dropping the 3rd Angel for a Seraph and some Shepherds/Spell Martyrs is the better play. It's also potentially worth swapping a Sorceress & Hellion into a Succubus.

forsaken does not have a magic ability per my not being able to gather an extra dice from BnB's MK2 feat.....believe it was ruled as such in the old forums.

I can't speak for MK2 because I never played Legion in Mk2, but I'm literally looking at the Forsaken's card in War Room and it says Magic Ability above blight shroud and consume fury.

I was figuring that you'd have been interested in Oracles for at least the beast heavy lists, so I was wondering what you were playing that wouldn't work.

The free solos you get are going to be forsakens and hellions unless you take hex hunters, then you'll do bayal. My Abby2 list I've been running get strictly better now because it was already in theme. I drop a shredder and now get a neraph in the list and a few hellions. Abby2 Proteus Scythean Seraph Neraph Naga Raek Blight wasps x 2 Shredder x 2 Forsaken x 2 free Hellion x 2 free If not the 2nd hellion then a succubus for free upkeep and a cloud on Abby or another beast for LOS blocking. You can also give naga stealth which I like. So I'll likely do the succubus over a 2nd hellion.

Lanz and JVM you guys have to sort out different avatars. It's confusing following this thread. @jake I like your Abby2 list. I'm a little bit surprised that you continue to find Wasps useful these days. Maybe it's just my meta but it seems like all the single wound infantry that gets played have guns. I'm not sure how to deliver them to an army like Winter Guard Kommand that spams Rifle Corps and Mortars.

. . . . This is everything I've put together this year and have been testing or running. I normally don't discuss all my lists at once because I like a secret dark horse approach to conventions but it's whatever. I have a vayl1 list I'm testing right now and I'm unsure of what it will be. I've done no thags2 testing and I've played enough games with saeryn to be very upset. Bethayne is another that I just tilt my head to. Wow. Thanks for sharing all that. Lots of great list ideas to ponder. Have you tried building any Kallus2 lists that make use of Battle Lust? Seems like such a great spell to waste. Have you tried dropping the carnivean in your Lylyth3 list for Raptors or Scouts?

Wasps are way better than anyone gives them credit for.

I'm sure you can and it would work pretty well. I use to use striders with lylyth3. I have since taken them out. Most of the work they did, lylyth can do
