So, I recently purchased the Minions faction deck cause I really wanted to dive into Oracles of Annihilation. But I'm getting frustrated. The only two benefits to minions Oracles gives are being able to spawn Incubi from small based living warrior minions, and handing out corrosion to enemy models that end their activation within 2" of a minion model. The incubi are alright, and I'm familiar enough with them to know how to make them work, but I'm really concerned about survivability for the second benefit.
So my question to you guys is, are their any good minion models that can buff each other, both in terms of survivability and boosting offensive power? I've seen Underchief Mire and Gundrun the Wanderer, so I know there are some defense buffs in there along with being able to hand out pathfinder and/or hunter, but I'm sure I'm missing quite a bit. Oh and of course Starcrossed, which helps everything.

As a rule we're a pretty squishy faction. Farrow Valkyries are the unit with the best staying power, and you've already listed the solos with the majority of our defensive buffs. In faction we crutch on the Dhunian Archons to up our survivability any further.

I'm not a Legion player, but if I was building an oracles list I would not focus heavily on the corrosion part and just treat it as a bonus. For minions you will want to take things that help your army out without needing faction buffs, as oracles still doesn't make them legion models. Notably multiple farrow valkryie units for shield guards and/or croak raiders for oil which can make several legion ranged beasts more fury efficient.

Yeah, and thats what I was afraid of to be honest. I don’t like it when themes have benefits that you don’t really want to focus on. |
