So this is a list I came up with to create a "thematic, fun army". Basically it is Lylyth1 leading a bunch of striders in a scout formation.

Legion Army - 75 / 75 points
[Theme] Ravens of War
(Lylyth 1) Lylyth, Herald of Everblight [+30]
- Angelius [17]
- Harrier [3]
- Naga Nightlurker [8]
- Nephilim Bolt Thrower [11]
- Seraph [14]
Annyssa Ryvaal [8]
Strider Deathstalker [0(4)]
Strider Deathstalker [0(4)]
Blighted Nyss Raptors (min) [11]
Strider Blightblades [10]
Strider Blightblades [10]
Strider Scouts [9]
- Strider Scout Officer & Musician [4]
The list actually turned out to have more teeth than I would've thought. A couple of things I've noticed playing with the list:
A) The high speed + high threat + ambush means you can keep your opponent on their back foot and can often end up with more than a few models in their backfield.
B) The high defense + stealth is difficult for a lot of armies to overcome. Sprays often miss (unless they can boost) and AOEs are fairly unreliable, they often need good scatter to really catch anything. Good spacing can mitigate both of those as well.
C) The battlegroup will remove 1-2 heavies at most in a match, which can be enough if applied to critical pieces. Otherwise I've found that jamming and ignoring other heavies to be fairly viable while you aim for the backfield and caster.
D) Lylyth1 has some trouble with fury management (obviously) but you can utilize some high thresholds to mitigate it. But it often means she's camping 0-1 fury a turn (usually with Dodge up).
Anyways, I didn't design the list to be competitive, mostly just a fun "themey" list. Which I find it is and enjoy it quite a bit. It's different than what I am used to playing in Legion (beast-heavy).
