I fear you won't be able to kill anything. Relatively low pow across the list with no damage fixing.

How do you kill anything? If 2 heavies are on an objective, how do you remove them?

I haven't been paying much attention lately, but how does that work? Do you get 2 incubus models or 10 for free? Actually, since this was a "leak", I'll guess they haven't answered any questions about it...

It's just a bit weird, since 5 incubi are not "a small based solo". It'd be a bit like the option for "a free lesser warbeast" giving someone two reptile hounds.

Storm Division's free solo can be 3 Stormsmith Stormcallers.

Then that's probably how it works, but it's still weird

actually, pretty sure storm division calls out that instead of a single solo you can take 3 stormcallers.

Actually I don't see it attrition at all. You have staying power but not much punch with it. The most powerfull thing you have is Zuriel. All of that on a caster without any damage buff. Your opponent will just take his armor cracker list and murder your stuff. For starters I would take more Soldiers and Bolt Throwers, if you're set on this theme. Then maybe Swordsmen + UA + Warlord? I mean, you need something that hits hard in the list.

cainuslupusThis sounds like a good idea. Bulk up on Precision Strike take out some cortices/aspects. It's a shame that you can't take Assassins though, at least Saeryn has her deathspurs.

Deathspurs are probably better, really. With a bolt thrower in there, she'll have a 12" range on them, so she can apply it to as many as 3 targets and probably stay safe from retaliation, whereas an assassin is likely to get one major target for one turn and then die.

LanzThe reason I brought up the Assassins is to not put Saeryn in range of any threats. with Snipe she has respectable range to apply GW, especially with 3 shots, but it's still a risk. Same reason I like to take Martyrs even when I have Zuriel.

I've been entirely disinterested in Children of the Dragon since getting before making the Legion Theme Leaks thread. It's only tonight that CoD has become interesting and only because I'm gearing up for Iron Gauntlet and 3 list Masters in May and don't want to play a triple Oracles pairing.
Legion Army - 75 / 75 points [Theme] Children of the Dragon
(Kryssa 1) Kryssa, Conviction of Everblight [+31] - Azrael [21] - Nephilim Bolt Thrower [11] - Nephilim Soldier [9] Blighted Nyss Shepherd [1] Incubus (5) [0] Spell Martyr [1] Blackfrost Shard [9] Blighted Nyss Hex Hunters (max) [15] - Bayal, Hound of Everblight [6] Blighted Nyss Raptors (max) [18] Blighted Nyss Swordsmen (max) [15] Objective: Bunker (probably?)
Thinking is Azrael is great with Kryssa and benefits from Unyielding a lot. Children of the Dragon is the only theme that lets us play Swordsmen which seem to be a key unit for Kryssa. Hex Hunters love Cloak of Ash, Raptors are generally great. The Incubi are only in there because they're free and because Hex Hunters and Swordsmen will likely die a lot so having replacements is nice. The idea is to pair this with Abby2 and Lylyth3 both in Oracles.
Is it worth playing Kryssa in CoD or am I better off playing Ravens of War instead?

Personally, I've been trying to make Kryssa work in the thene by bringing precision strikes to cripple cortexes/spirits and hex hunters to shadow bind the crippled jacks/beasts. Then they can't shake the bind, and are stuck swinging at a hex hunter or 2, especially if they lack reach to get to the soldiers. My current plan is something like this: War Room Army
Legion of Everblight - New neph theme
Theme: Children of the Dragon 2 / 2 Free Cards 75 / 75 Army
Kryssa, Conviction of Everblight - WB: +31 - Azrael - PC: 21 (Battlegroup Points Used: 21) - Nephilim Bolt Thrower - PC: 11 (Battlegroup Points Used: 10) - Nephilim Soldier - PC: 9 - Nephilim Soldier - PC: 9 - Nephilim Bloodseer - PC: 8
Blighted Nyss Warlord - PC: 5 Blighted Nyss Warlord - PC: 5 Blighted Nyss Sorceress & Hellion - PC: 6 Blighted Nyss Shepherd - PC: 1 Blighted Nyss Shepherd - PC: 1
Blighted Nyss Hex Hunters - Leader & 9 Grunts: 15 - Bayal, Hound of Everblight - PC: 0 Blighted Nyss Swordsmen - Leader & 9 Grunts: 15 - Blighted Nyss Swordsmen Abbot & Champion - Abbot & Champion: 0
THEME: Children of the Dragon ---
