So, the legion forums are pretty dead. There's a thread about Nephilim and CotD, but thats pretty much it. Lets get some discussion going! Anything relevant to Legion, lets just get some sort of discussion going (yes, I know, this is going to be a cluster f*ck, but, better than no activity at all).

Well I recently discovered that the playstyle I like in wargaming and drew me to legion back when it all started, is now much more prevelent in grymkin. Why don't we have a king of nothing or madcaps or the amount of synergie this faction has? Old witch2, what a beautiful caster in this regard. I feel like this faction can do so much with so little different units, everything has a place, and the models are just amazing to me.
All legion seems do these days is annoy and frustrate me during listbuilding, after which I don't even feel like playing any more. Lists I do feel enthusiastic about involve chosen which I don't have and are expensive past the point I can't look past it.
At this point all I want to keep are the models to field Und-ed's twins list and some list with eThags (he's da boss) and I will probably sell all the other stuff.
Maybe I'm not the only one who feels that way?

I'm trying to stay positive so I don't write anything. Outside PT Legion is a mess and I'm fed up with that.

Well lets break legion!
I mean seriously after my deep dive into cygnars Sons of the Temple theme i really want to break legion in the same way.
My goals will be to have fun and lose. Yah kinda strange but if i can force my opponents to become flustered or ask if im crazy i take that as a win.
Some janky things i like arethe archers with the loader putting out 2man cras into parisighted targets.
Wht about you all?

I've been working on getting my minions army painted and generally have had a lack of time to game at all.
It just seems like every other faction I'm playing is getting new shinies while Legion just seems stagnant. I've got lists that seem to work for my meta and no real external stimuli to force me to change the lists.

Any info on how viable an Archangel would be in Ravens maybe Oracles? I have most of the other pieces of Ravens and would like to run something different but still have some justification for the big brute besides warming the shelf with my anime waifus.

I sort of gave up on playing Legion, and largely even thinking about Legion. Once everything became "Primal Terrors, don't even bother to try anything else" I entirely lost interest. I've moved onto factions with more than one functional theme.
But by all means, don't let me stop you. Just explaining why I haven't said much and to larger degree why I think everyone stopped posting much: Primal Terrors is so much better than everything else and yet so one dimensional there just isn't much to talk about.

This is about the most succinct summary of the situation I have seen in a long time. People will start talking about things when there is actually something worth talking about.

This. This is why I homebrew so damn much. Hell, I've started a massive project that probably isn't going to go anywhere, but here I am. Revamping the entire theme force system. Fixing models. Creating new warlocks/warcasters. New Characters, new units, solos, structures, battle engines, and warbeasts/warjacks.

Occasionally I see an OoA list using Archangels, usually with Abby1, that looks original and good enough to play. Thrones seem decent enough too to not play PT. But... Again, I'll just play a fully functional faction that doesn't require me to buy almost entirely new models from my mk2 collection. All my money goes to Skorne, and has been for the last couple years.

Is Legion really in that bad a spot? Speaking as an outsider, I had thought your Primal Terrors was a bit like our Armoured Corps; suddenly we had something of an all-comers list, which meant we could use the second list as a more interesting counter-list.
Or is PT just too good into everything?

Or is PT just too good into everything? I wouldn't say Legion is in a completely bad spot, just has some stagnation when building lists. PT answers a lot of questions that Legion were struggling with in mk3, but people are already starting to tech against med base infantry spam (again).
Legion just really needs another CID like how the did the PT CID. It is just that having to play the waiting game for our models to become worth playing again has people jumping ship to other factions that have more recently been revamped via CID.

I don't like the thematic choices they made, allways want to go out of theme and playing legion feels unpleasant right from the moment you start listbuilding.
