I miss the animus Killer Instinct.

Keep in mind, I have not played in a year, so all of this may be crap:

- Teraph - since day one, it never was competitive. Change Critical Fire to Continuous Fire, and even that won't be enough.
- Nephilim soldier - in the fluff this should be the most frequent beast among Legion, so something must be done to see the same on the tabletop. Reduce points to 7?
- Lessers - they lost their role as Fury batteries (because of the Spirit rule and because of ample Beast points that leave a functional battlegroup for any Warlock), not worth to get through the Vessel, not worth to get the Beast Mistress, animi are definitively not worth it and Stinger and Wasps were not worth it from the start. Not all needs to change, but something should.
- Grotesques need to find their place, they should be the quick moving throwaway pieces.
- Lylyths need some trick to be competitive again, for instance if her shot is directed to a Shield Guard, that shot gains AP or something (so the Crabbit or Ogrun Bokur in question are reliably dead for Shield Guarding, and if it is a Heavy it likely loses a system/spiral)
- Against Infernals (and other Hordes) we could use more Poison. So far we have it on Craelix, Anyssa and Raptors - best the beasts have is Critical Poison. Some source of Erosion may be nice too.
- Shepherds are used because they are cheap, not good. I am willing to use a 2-3pt Shepherd who does more.


In general, we have some cohesion problems that won't go away just by polishing some models. Bloodseers problem is that there is not enough good animi, and we got denied some things all other factions have (Dragoon, character lesser warlock, we are one huge base behind others, we rely on high DEF yet Tenacity is gone and everyone has high MAT, we are the shooting faction yet Shield guards abound, everyone has arcnodes now, etc.) I mis MKII. I hope Archon and the Virtues bring something nice and useful.

Forsaken bomb should have the same effect on Essence as it has on Focus and Fury. Keeping the fluff consistent (in game effects would be minor)



Edit: Same for Energy Siphon. Only three models have it in the whole game, so not too much work to correct it.

'all nyss, lights and lessers' is a bit lazy huh?

1- Azrael- Releasing a brand new character warbeast that's dead on arrival is a very bad message. He should get a second initial with his claw (P+S 13 or whatever), a point drop and an actual animus. Literally any animus in the game would be better.

2- Bethayne1- They spruiked her as a new legion direction in the edition change and like many things she was an utter failure. Make her feat just 'FF models gain flank faction' and give her a couple more beast points. Her spell list is decent anyway and Belphagor is interesting enough. Regaining his immunities would be really cool. I also wouldn't be opposed to her MK2 feat coming back.

3- Nephilim soldier- overly expensive light beater that has never had a place in all its various rules. I'm thinking 8 pts and have an animus of 'target nephilim gains gang fighter.' The idea is for them to work alongside nyss right?

4- Nephilim protector- 8 pts and safeguard back, thanks. Retaliatory strike on this guy is terrible and pointless.

5- Succubus- Legion warlocks are a bit all over the place in what they want or would be too good, but I think around our various abilities we lack something to help spell slinging casters. So I say either just make her 3 points or give her *Arcane Secrets.

6- Afflictor- Sprint animus, so we have access outside Golab. He lost his one purpose in the edition change, which was to be the cheapest flying slam bot in the game.

7- Stinger- flat poison on its tail, erosion on its gun, get suicidal attack back, pick up gunfighter.

8- Hex hunters- stealth, cost 8/13, Bayal for 4.

9-Blackfrost shard- remove all their separate abilities. Give them base stealth and brittle frost.

10- Legionnaires- elite defensive single box infantry just don't work, that's why they're at the bottom of the list. I guess throw every ability possible on them and see what happens. Give the unit set defence, give the UA mage static, reduce them to 7/12 and 3 for the UA.

It's a bit hard to reduce it to 10 choices. I wanted to put Vayl1, Blightblades, Annyssa, Grotesque assassin and Blight Wasps on here.
Blight wasps are actually the worst model in the faction, I just consider them deleted from the game.

I firmly believe that Bethayne1 will be included in either the upcoming dynamic update or the CID.
