If you were building a list to take on Legion what are some keys pieces you would be looking to include?

Well, they don't seem to like a crap ton of iron fangs or man o war!
Personally, I also like Strakhov and a bunch of AK's. All their shooting doesn't do so well against that!

I'd probably go Strakhov and full Jack.
Legion can find it hard to effectively crack armour, and Strakhov has the speed to hit them first, which they really don't like.

A jack heavy Jaws list with Eliminators is good.
You need to be ready for beasts that can sprint away so I like Karchev for countercharge, but Strakhov for speed and Torch with sustained attack is good. I would include Kayazy Elims and be ready to just run/tumble them behind their beasts so they can't get away.

Legion has no hard counter to wg shooting. No stealth, no clouds, no incorp, etc. They have those manta solos, but they're easy to remove.
All forms of freeze are good against them since they rely on defense a lot, but ignore only knockdowns, bring Juggies and boost their attack rolls. Or just S1 for maximum freeze.
LegoS is about 50/50 with them. Fangs can kill them well, they can kill fangs well, it will be decided by playing out the game.
Jack lists they will crush with Fyana unless it's Strakhov or Karchev. Strakhov is the only one non-ranged who can match their threats (also Vlad, but you're better off with wgk under Vlad) and Karchev gets around dodge and his feat allows to either boost attacks to hit through Fyanna's feat or brute force through Thagrosh's aura.
If I'd want to specifically make a list against Legion it would Vlad or Sorscha wgk with good number of Juggies.

Umm, it really depends on what legion are bringing... If it's Fyana high def spam your jack spams will lose. Since Karchev nerf he doesn't do well into it either. Sorscha1 obviously counters it.
I reckon Strak2 in LegoS does well into most of their stuff.

If you were building a list to take on Legion what are some keys pieces you would be looking to include? Did you play versus legion already and what did they play and what did you find bad for your army? There are several ways to play so need to identify what's bothering you first. Personally one of the pieces bothering me a lot are the deathstalkers since they kill 4 models per turn and you can kill then only with aoe drifting. Absolonia2 is played a lot in my meta, so I rather don't play butcher3. Some people play the twins with the ugly colossal, some play lilith shooting list with nephilims. Jackspam is usually effective but not always. |

I have had good results with Vlad1 WGK, Vlad 2 Legion of Steel & Zerkova1 Legion of Steel.  |
