I'm a little bit concerned about your Abby2 list. Despite playing in Oracles you only have three "combat" heavies - Proteus, a Scythean and an Angelius. A ton of points are spent on stuff that doesn't do much in the way of fighting in the form of the Bloodseer, the Harrier and to an extent the Naga. The highest POW attack the list can make is 19 on the Scythean (though an armor pierce from the Angelius under Feat acts as a much more powerful attack I'll grant). Assuming your Abby2 list is intended to be the list that handles armor skews I think it's going to come up short against stuff like Amon with a ton of Dervishes and Crusaders, Karchev or Harkevich spamming Marauders and Juggernauts and other similar skews. Maybe consider losing the Scythean for a Carnivean so you can bring some higher POW attacks and look into getting rid of the Bloodseer and Harrier and spending those points on another more combat capable beast, even if it just ends up being another Raek.

Don't have any experience with running or dojoing Children of the Dragon so can't help you much with that one.

Abby2

Seraph
Neraph
Naga
Raek
Blight wasps x 2
Shredder x 2
Forsaken x 2
Hellion
Succubus

The wasps get to apparate

What matchups do you like the blight wasps into? Maybe it's just my lack of practice with them but in a lot of the armor natchups they feel clunky,like they don't have a real purpose.

But yeah aby2 was good without the free points, now she seems nuts with very few sacrifices made.

I'll be tweaking her a bit here and there with playtesting.

Personally when I play Abby 2 I look for a gunline answer as my pair, usually this means Vayl 2. I honestly don't think either your Kallus or Twins list makes a great pairing for Absylonia but between the two I'd go with the Twins since they're more difficult to assassinate.
