So, I promised a bat rep for for Vayl 1 from my weekly game night last night. However, it wasn't a great game as my opponent did not respect what the list can do. I stopped taking pictures after turn 2. I'll give you the quick and dirty though.
My list hasn't changed,

(Vayl 1) Vayl, Disciple of Everblight [+27]

My opponent’s list was something like the following,

I won the roll off and chose to go first which I’ve found this list wants to do 95% of the time. I did have a couple proxies. I used my Archangel as a second throne since I couldn’t fit the AA, two thrones, and the rest of my lists in my bag for the night. I also forgot my seraph at home so had to proxy a ravagore for it.
Here’s my deployment and a shot of the board and the scenario.
and my opponents,
First turn I run everything forward including Vayl aggressively but staying out of heavy charge ranges.
My opponent runs up a little too aggressive in my opinion leaving his gladiator in charge range as well as his cylcops raider and most of his nihilators into the right zone.
On my turn 2 I move Vayl up into the forest slightly, feat, and cast incite. BFS kisses the Gladiator. One Angel kills the gladiator. Another leaves the Raider on a couple boxes. Between the throne and the neraph all the nihilators on the right are killed. The Seraph slipstreams Vayl back to behind the forest and everything else backs up with the feat.
On his turn 2 he charges in his two cyclops into the right throne and right hellion killing neither. I dark sentinel move my neraph away from ambushing bloodrunners so they can't run to engage. The rhinodon on the left charges in and kills the left hellion and puts some damage onto the throne. Morghoul moves up to the flag and feats. Blood runners ambush from the right.
I stopped taking pictures here as I was already sure that this wasn't going to be a great game for an in depth battle report.
My turn 3 I basically mop up his force. Vayl backs up and casts incite again while. Thrones and an angel on the left outside of feat clear that zone while the right throne kills the two lights benefitting from Incite.
Opponent concedes
The only thing that is really interesting here is that the forest in the middle of the board really allowed me to get work out of Incite while still keeping Vayl safe. As I’ve said before SR 17 terrain placement and access to slipstream really make using her somewhat aggressively and the feat more viable.
I'll be playing more games with this list and seeing how it goes. Will try to post up more and better bat reps here when I can.
