Hey everyone. I'm a fairly long time player who is just now transitioning from the ruins of the old forums here. I'm also a recovering Skorne player! I'm currently taking a break from my first love and coming back home to my summer home faction of Legion. As a result I've been trying to come up with 4 lists I really like (I'm trying to keep 4 lists on hand for all my factions to test and modify). I wanted to share the results with you, as I think they're interesting and hopefully some of you might think about tweaking them and using them yourself or providing me with some feedback.
Ravens of War
Fuel Cache
Vayl1
Angelius
Angelius
Neraph

Seraph
Forsaken
Death stalker
Death stalker
Sorceress on Hellion
I've done a lot of swapping around with the models and lists I wanted to play. This list resulted from me trying to take someone who could pump up the cheaper heavies and make them fairly mobile. Originally it was Lylyth 1 but then I had greater plans for her. The idea of this list is that it offers fairly adequate infantry removal with some extreme Cat and Mouse play. Leash, repulsion, sprint, attractor, slip stream, and cat and mouse means it should be exceedingly mobile. Incite and chiller makes the beasts fairly decent. It leaves a handful of Vayl's tools unsupported (mostly not having typhon for dark sentinel) but I'm excited to try a list focused trading up and hit and run tactics.
Oracles of Annihilation
stockpile
Lylyth 1
succubus
ravagore
ravagore
bolt thrower
bolt thrower
teraph
teraph
naga nightlurker
naga nightlurker
forsaken
forsaken
black frost shard
Originally the list with Vayl in it, I decided to swap the casters to make something a little more interesting to me personally. The idea here is pretty much just a gunline but with some insane quality of shots. Feat, parasite, and kiss with access to crit shadow bind and thunderbolt makes me feel like it could be really interesting list. It doesn't shoot as much as Lylyth 2 lists of yore, but I think it offers much higher quality of shots.
Kryssa
fuel cache
Azrael
Nephilim Protector
Wrong eye/Snapjaw
Warmoger War Chief
Blighted Ogrun Warspears
War spear Chieftan
Blighted Ogrun Warspears
War spear Chieftan
Hellmouth
Hellmouth
This is where the true madness begins. I knew I wanted a list with Azrael and double warspears. I knew it needed to be someone who buffed them. In this list the goal is to make use of tactical supremacy and ashen veil as well as feat to make them a little more mobile, a little harder to kill, and hit much harder. Since the Hellmouth benefits from feat as well it can really crank some damage on things and makes a suitable ashen veil target for spreading it around the board. Wrong eye and Snap jaw serve as a second heavy but also provide star crossed to the set defense, ashen veil, war spears to make them very difficult to remove in melee.
Fyanna
effigy of Valor
Zuriel
Typhon
Raek
Raek
Anyssa Ryvaal
Raptors
Strider scouts
Officer and musician
forsaken
shepherd
spell martyr
The most experimental of the four, I started with the idea of making an all stealth list and quickly moved on to something a little more complex. My thought is that it can play a fairly adequate ranged game with some solid counter punch. Ironflesh can go on the striders to make them immune to blast and the feat can be used to push the defense of all the models in the list to almost unreachable levels. Two versatile heavies should help her clear zones as well.
