I've been looking into this since before the new themes. I'm sure there is a nice Raven or children list for her somewhere.
Stuff you loose if you don't play her with ogruns:
- her ritual. IMO she can live without it and still be a nice caster. Not really a reason enough to play her in oracles with bokurs
- BGB. Outside of ogrun the most profitable target is obviously the hellmouth, so maybe raven ? I guess it's okay on raptors too. Of course she can always cast it on herself and have some profit of it.
Stuff that makes a her want warriors
- Fury... is warriors only and you want to use it.
Stuff that can work with anything
- Carnage, which is a very rare universal mat fixer in Legion.
- her feat. Yes I know warriors only, but in fact you can even apply it with like dumb hellions that charges, roll 3d6 to hit and apply grievious wound, and debuff the target's ARM. Even running shepherd or ambushing striders can apply the ARM debuff cheaply, and then beasts can use it.
I see her as an offensive version of Fyanna :
- fyfy has admonition and a defensive feat.
- mamy has hex blast and an offensive feat.
- both have warrior-only arm buff, a str buff, and gallows.
- mamy has carnage that can greatly help our poor-quality melee options ie mostly our cheap infantery.
Anamag's str buff is restricted to warriors so I'd say the beast-heavy lists are more for fyfy, while anamag would support offensive units better in theory... as long as they have their own defense mechanism or are cheap and don't care to die.
Her other unique trait is the general application of grievious wound (again, you want something like high volume of infantery attacks if you want to exploit this).
I'm not sure how to fine tune a list based on this. Not enough time to playtest it.
Maybe something along the lines of :
- Ravens
Anamag
Golab
Seraph
2x Harriers
Craelix
forsaken
2x Stalkers
Annyssa
2x Raptors
Rotwings
Hellmouth
You have a clear target for every spell, she can support everyone in melee (most notably she fixes the birds MAT problem, even golab really like to be MAT9 or 11 against a lot of targets), and the list can hit really hard in melee for a mobile force, + you have the anti-heal tech. The raptors with Annyssa can spend their time usefully killing stuff with arrows before the feat turn. The list also has a decent caster kill component with the raptors.
I don't know. It's a list I've been building for Kallus2 really. Then I realised it was very close to my Fyanna list before the coming of the theme forces. It did perform well at the time. It'd be more fun to play with Kallus2 or Fyfy in my opinion.
The other list axis - with lot of striders/cheap infantery like grots and rotwings... well, every time I make her a list along those lines, I end up thinking that the list would certainly perform better with Kallus1... so sad.
