I figured it could be fun to get a morale boost going here in the forums! So, lets play favorites. When I say favorote, I don’t mean which is the best. I mean, that there is something you like for its look, style, or whatever. For example: you could say you like the Legionnaires. They are by no means the best unit Legion has to offer, but maybe their aesthetic really just strikes your fancy. Of course, thats not to say you CAN’T pick something as your favorite because its the best thing Legion has.
Anyways, enough rambling.
Who is your favorite Legion warlock?
What are your top 3 Legion warbeasts?
What are your top 3 Legion units?
What/who are your top 3 favorite Legion solos?
What is your favorite Legion theme force?

Oeh I like this in Who is your favorite Legion warlock? eThags, without reservation. Kind of a love at first sight thing. Powerfull sculpt and I'm glad he now has the rules to back that up. What are your top 3 Legion warbeasts? Azrael, just beautifull Zuriel, same, please give him the gladiatorlike fightingstyle his looks demand Blightbringer tied with the shredder on third, cuteness in all it's glory What are your top 3 Legion units? blackfrost shard, again I just love the models and the idea of character units Hexhunters, an allcommers unit if ever there was one. Maybe not as usefull this edition, but I like em The pot, Tool is an awesome band and I love that song... Oh wait. Gotta love bringing more of them little uns onto the table What/who are your top 3 favorite Legion solos? edit: spellmartyrs, beyond usefull /edit grotesque assassin, zuriel's little brother, love the looks Forsaken, allways usefull, allways scary Beastmistress, awesome sculpt What is your favorite Legion theme force? I have none, our themes are beyond restrictive and feel lacking in essential ways. Probably oracles though. It can have most of my favourites and the special rule is fantastic.

Disclaimer: I have a super customized Legion army so most of my choices are for my aesthetic (I've done a dark jungle theme with a ton of converting) and the work I've put into them. Who is your favorite Legion warlock? Ninja Twins, they're a super cool unique concept and really fun to play. What are your top 3 Legion warbeasts? Scytheans are definitely number one. From the first time I played into Legion I was hooked and had to get my own. Which I then converted into hulking mantis dragons. Typhon is number two, I built my own from scratch out of greenstuff and all the Legion warbeast bits I had lying around. He's bigger than an extreme Carni and totally badass, and who can say no to all the firebreath and ten million bite attacks? Zero people. The only thing I wish is that I could build him some Pathfinder Shredders. Although probably a weird answer, I've converted one into a baby Scythean with some tiny genestealer scythes and named him Leonardo DiShreddio. He has almost as many heavy kills as some of my bigger warbeasts thanks to being such a good finisher with Flank. What are your top 3 Legion units? Can I say Blightblades three times? One of the few models I didn't convert but man are they great. Ambush is a constantly undervalued rule. The Hellmouth. It's not hated by everybody else for no reason.. Also...Brigands. Not specifically Legion, but I played Minions before I played Legion and they are a fantastic unit. Lyl1 handing out Parasite means that they can take down non-Khador jacks on decent rolls. What/who are your top 3 favorite Legion solos? I like Warlords. Mine has Darth Maul facepaint, so that's pretty sweet. Fyanna is cool thematically, and that means I still put her on the table, even if she's not the best solo ever. The best though, are Incubi. Man, people hate these guys, they give factions without a lot of good spot removal (like Grymkin) absolute fits. What is your favorite Legion theme force? Despite all the hate, probably Children of the Dragon. Nephilim are super cool and I have a couple of sweet Soldier conversions using Zuriel bits.

stay positive... stay positive. Oh forget it *raaaaaawr You all need to be more friendly! - Unikitty, lego movie
Sorry, it just made me think of that scene. The boards are almost always negative and an unending source of salt. It seems out of place that we have to specifically start "happy" threads. But I digress.
Warlock - Kryssa (Followed by Bethayne and Vayl 2 )
Top 3 Warbeast: Azrael Archangel Scythean
Top 3 Units: Strider Scouts I do in fact really like the Legionnaires and have put far too many hours into trying to make them work swordsmen
Top 3 solos Annyssa Ryvall Craelix Warlord
Theme Force: Out-of-theme

Warlock: Twins. Great concept, great minis, amazing gameplay. Bethayne with her belphy-suit is a close second, but her gameplay isn't nearly as much fun as the twins.
Beasts: Azrael (gorgeous mini, crazy ranged damage), Zuriel (Love the model, hate the rules) and of course the Angelius (The model so pretty it convinced me to start playing WM/H)
Units: Who plays Legion for the units??? I suppose I can't neglect the super-cool hellmouths, so they get a nod, but that's it. I don't play Legion for units. I like the look of blightblades and striders, but really haven't had much joy with them on the table.
Solos: Deathstalkers! I love painting cloaks, and they're super-useful on the table. Now if only they weren't theme-restricted...
Themes: Primal terrors has to win by default, if only because all of the other themes are just tiny balls of stupidity wrapped up in poor game design.
Sorry, my positivity ran out once I hit themes. I'll try to be better, but I promise nothing.

Warlock: Rhyas1. Always been my favorite.
Warbeasts: Carnivean, Archangel, Blightbringer. Yes, I loved the archangel back when it first came out!
Units: Hex Hunters, Warmongers, Chosen. It's weird not having to work my butt off to make the Warmongers viable. I don't have the Chosen yet, but I'm so happy that they're there.
Solos: Craelix, Forsaken, Deathstalker. 2 Deathstalkers have been a part of pretty much every Legion army I've ever run. Craelix only doesn't make it into every list because of theme restrictions. And I love me some forsakens. Even if I rolled 5 1's and 2 2's on a fully loaded Dire Troll Mauler.
Theme: Primal Terrors. It's just good.

Favourite lock - vayl, tags, twins. I really miss vayl1... i tried to make her work but so far no luck.

Solos - deathstalker, spell martyrs , forsaken

Who is your favorite Legion warlock?Twins. Cool models, hard to play, lots to plan each activation/turn. Great feeling when you make it through with cool shenanigans. What are your top 3 Legion warbeasts?1/ Neraph. Best quality/price. Lots of tricks. Cool model. 2/ Seraph. A bit pricey but splitstream is required in current games. And flare is such a nice tool in the kit. Plus apparition makes him really sneaky. 3/ Scythean. Because I fracking love to answer "she's murderous " when my opponent asks "why is your beast rolling 3 dices to hit my wardude outside your control range ?" What are your top 3 Legion units?1/ Valkyries. So much tech in 3 models that I usually forget half of their rules each game. They do more than their share each time. And awesome models. 2/ Raptors. Killing stuff at range in total impunity. Nice old models. 3/ Hellmouth. Because tentacles. What/who are your top 3 favorite Legion solos?1/ Annyssa. Cool model, finally has rules to go with it. 2/ Craelix. Stupid fluff (he's drooling on his arrows lol), but nice feeling when he slithers across the battlefield while killing ennemy grunts. 3/ Spell martyr. Doing their work selflessly since mk2. What is your favorite Legion theme force?Oracles. Because Primal's models are mostly dumb to play. And as we only have 2 theme forces...

Who is your favorite Legion warlock? Kallus2. Love the sculpt, love his rules and really fits my playstyle.
What are your top 3 Legion warbeasts? 1. Azrael. Has to be one of the coolest sculpts.
2. Archangel. With its new rules it can actually do more than just look cool on the table. 3. Naga. That little beast makes it into almost every list I build and I'm always missing it when I don't have one.
What are your top 3 Legion units? 1. Chosen of Everblight. Dragon-ogrun-centaurs. Need I say more? 2. Swordsmen+UA. With the ability to generate potentially 25 wm attacks with cleave/overtake they can mulch infantry. 3. Hellmouth. Cause I need more salt for my mine.
What/who are your top 3 favorite Legion solos? 1. Deathstalkers. They don't make it into as many lists as I would like but they always pull more than their own weight. 2. Sorceress and Hellion. I rarely ran this solo in MK2 but now with the free charges for flying beasts I've had to pick up a 2nd one for some lists. Also the large area of no-shooting always throws a wrench into my local meta. 3. Nyss Warlord. I got to live the dream and have one battle lusted warlord charge a harmed heavy jack and one shot it. It was glorious.
What is your favorite Legion theme force? This is a hard one. Before PT came out I was running predominately CotD. Lots of infantry and hard to kill beasts backing it up. Now that PT is out I find myself turning more towards that theme for the extra deployment and free hellmouths.

Caster: 1. Twins. Playing for years with multiple factions, they are the most fun and satisfying caster I've ever played. 2. Abby2. Not just for everything she brings, but also for her shocking and hilarious ability to facetank the world. 3. Thags1. For MK2 rather than MK3 really, because he is a reliable old friend.
Beast: 1. Neraph. He trades high damage for... everything. If I'm not just trying to kill a khador heavy or whatever then I love my neraphs for everything they bring. 2. Angelius. I always have a use for an angelius and never regret them (other than wishing it was a neraph+5 points). Love armour piercing, because even with all the armour in the world at least it will do SOMETHING. 3. Raek. Cool utility and annoying light, plus I love giving my casters countercharge.
Units: 1. Raptors. I don't use them much due to our themes, but I was shocked at the start of the edition when they retained their power and went to FA2. 2. Ice witches. They're just useful and the right price. 3. Hex hunters, through lack of a better option. I haven't played primal terrors much and our other themes aren't much to look at, but I do find I use these guys a lot.
Solos: 1. Nyss sorceress. I used them before it was cool! I used them from time to time in MK2 but in MK3 it is just all the time in Oracles and Children. 2. Shepherds. Cheap and effective, they do their job. 3. Incubi. They are the biggest reason I try to run Children, not the other stuff. They're just so amusing. Annoying without being hellmouth-annoying.

Anamag in Primal Terrors. Why? because the list is so bonkers good and covers so many matchups, Granny blighty allows me to get really creative with my second list xD
Best unit? Farrow Valkyries, same reason. They allow me to play casters and lists, that just weren't really feasable if one wants to go far in a tournament. (And im doow to three casters left in may "play all legion casters in a tournament game" challenge.

This is hard!
Who is your favorite Legion warlock? Lylyth 3 - (only because no one has really mentioned her yet) super fast and resilient, I'm a sucker for mobility.
What are your top 3 Legion warbeasts? Typhon - 'nuff said BlightBringer - huge support model Ravagore - makes room for the big boys to play
What are your top 3 Legion units? Raptors Chosen Hellmouth
What/who are your top 3 favorite Legion solos? DeathStalkers Forsaken Annyssa Ryvall
What is your favorite Legion theme force? Out of Theme Oracles (soon to be Primal Terrors?)
