Throne makes oracles fun.
Its either a great archnode, or fun to threaten 14"

I see a lot of talk (rightly so) about Typhon being a big draw away from Oracles.
What I'm surprised I don't see is talk about the blighted Nyss Warlords. I really love these little guys with Vayl2, as she gives them a great (14") melee threat range and pathfinder, exactly what they need to thrive, while they bring the armour crack that she typically struggles with.
win-win?

The warlords make great objective holders and would benifit from boundless charge and slipstream. I havnt seen any lists that use them with vayl 2. Might be interesting.

I build Vayl 2 specifically to leverage the assassination threat. If it doesn't help me reach out and touch their caster it doesn't go in the list.

If you're looking for inspiration on the warlord-Vayl theme, here's my latest list:
Vayl2 (no theme) Typhon Azrael Seraph Naga Warlord Warlord Deathstalker Deathstalker Ogrun Bokur Shepherd Shepherd Shepherd Hellmouth
Infantry is seeing a comeback in my meta, and I don't like my expensive heavies getting swarmed by weaponmasters so in go the deathstalkers. Warlords are surprisingly good at finishing off units, so that's solid as well. The two character beasts are absurdly expensive, so the bokur helps ensure you get value out of your beasts rather than getting them shot off the board. Succy is actually great for sticking a cloud on Typhon, but if you're terrified of ranged assassinations you can give Vayl concealment or alternatively let the Naga hold the cloud and position it to hide Vayl. Initial work on heavies will be done by Typhon and Azrael (can't afford to be shut down by choir or windwall, so the Naga makes an appearance) while board control is managed by the threat of the warlords and the Hellmouth. If you see a sniper battery on the other side, just shove Occultation on to the Hellmouth, otherwise it should probably sit on Azrael, with default setting for Typhon being cloud + excessive healing + Admonition.
Enjoy. -und_ed
