Calling this list "Flash of Blades", cause why not. I feel like there needs to be some life in this forum again. I didn't win with the list, but I still did fairly well considering I haven't played at all since the Legion CID ended. I went into Wolds with Bradigus in this list.
Rhyas, Sigil of Everblight +30 - Blightbringer 32 - Zuriel 17 - Mekanoshredder 4
Blight Archon 8 - Raek 6 - Raek 6
Yssyla 0 (Req Pt.)
Blighted Nyss Warlord 0 (Req Pt.)
Blighted Nyss Legionnaires 13 - Captain Farilor & Standard Bearer
Blighted Nyss Swordsmen 15 - Blighted Nyss Swordsmen Abbot & Champion 0 (Req Pt.)
Turns out +1 SPD, +2 STR, +2 ARM, and Parry is a really good combo for both Legionnaires and Swordsmen. Not to mention the potential for +4 ARM for either unit through Dragon's Blood. Plus Rhyas likes hiding behind the huge based Blight Bringer. Unfortunately I lost on scenario after my assassination attempt with Zuriel left Bradigus on three boxes. I definitely need some sort of damage buff for Zuriel, but not sure what I want drop in this scenario. Although maybe if I had been able to set up a shot with the BB on a model nearby Bradigus I could have used Rhyas instead, but honestly I placed my models poorly after turn 1. So its ultimately just poor positioning on my part.

I run a similar list with Fyanna... What about dropping Farilor&Standard Bearer for Hermit or the like?

Is there a particular reason for Yssyla over Craelix? I think the guaranteed 3 shots and weapon master melee attacks make him a stronger candidate for for your requisition slot?
I also think Farilor & Co. should be swapped for something. I'm thinking a Forsaken or Succubus to lessen the Fury load on Rhyas.
I think moving Zuriel to the Archon and dropping a Raek would be a consideration. If you also drop Farilor, that'll give you 10pts to spend on BFS for accuracy and damage fixing plus a shepherd to tend to your Blightbringer.
Finally, I have a slightly off-topic question. A legionnaire can participate in multiple CMAs under Rhyas' feat right?

I don't have many minions... but the Hermit is hard to pass up (and I'm proxying him with my sweet Wizard D&D figure... cause I'm a nerd like that). I generally don't care to play with minions but the damage boost is hard to pass up. Looking through the list - Farilor (to me) seems to give you the least bang for your points?

A legionnaire can participate in multiple CMAs under Rhyas' feat right? I just wanted to try her. Plus I like Puppet Master for assassination runs. Craelix is probably the stronger option though. Farilor is definitely a weak option so I’ll definitely swap him for something. I’d rather keep Zuriel with Rhyas so he gets his natural stealth. But I can definitely see losing a Raek and Farilor for BFS and a Shepherd. I believe the answer is yes. At least thats how I played them.

Agreed on Farilor. His mini feat is cute but not required.
