So what made it through the CID? What stayed the same or what changed to its final form* - anything over 9,000?
Past that... what are the top things you want to try out?

Kryssa is high on my list - I want to pick one up without having to by the entire box. Blight Archons are going to change many of my lists. I'm always looking for an excuse to put an Archangel on the board... even for looks alone  Raeks are now (again) one of my favorites. I need to play Zuriel and Azrael ... I hope the changes were enough to let me love them. Hex Hunters. So many good things. I wanted more out of the Nephilium Protector (and Big Z, Az but still). Not sure about Black Frost Shard yet but I am hopeful. |

A little off topic, but with The Troll Week 3 CID out and the Troll Impaler getting powerful attack, the Bolt Thrower is looking kinda bad to me. I'm not sure 100% Eyeless sight, thunderbolt, and +2" are worth +2pts, -1RAT, and no powerful shot. Also, the Barrage team is still putting a damper on our newly buffed Nyss.
On the bright side, I'm trying to figure out which warlocks, outside the Twins, run Zuriel better than the Archon.
I also want to try a Ravens of War list with Rhyas to get 2-3 RAT8 sprays. Would Blight blades or Raiders work better for her?
Finally, part of me is going to miss Bethayne's Mk3 feat, but going back to Mk2 gives me a reason to finally get a Throne or two.

chillychinaman - I typically don't follow other factions (my own time constraints) so I am almost always unaware of what other factions have/looking to get. From what little I know, Troll lights are mostly meh? Maybe even most of the faction but my meta hasn't seen them since before they had MMM setup (is that still a thing?). Outside of all that... for Legion's lights... I feel like we have a mixed bag. The star of the show is the Raek who is now phenominal at the point cost. Teraph now can do a job with K2 (though would it really have been out of cost range for 10 point light to have Command 10 so Counterblast can be a bit less clunky?). I am unsure if the Protector got enough but I'm happy that it got un-nerfed. But the rest of the selection is meh to sad? I like the Bolt-Thrower a lot - the threat range and eyeless sight has always done work for me. I wouldn't say no to a point drop but he's far from the worst... I want to pair the BArchon with Zuriel but that seems dangerous with the high point cost. I find myself putting the Raek/McShredder kit with them for a less bullseye target. But... it would be fun... thelat That seems like such a classic list! I am putting Swordmen back with T1 almost all my lists. My F2 list looks more like your T1 list though, the blast negation on the improved Swordmen is bonkers.

I would only run this with an armor or heavy infantry spam as my other list, because of the blast vulnerability. The Hex Hunters and Incubi are supposed to get to and tie up non-huge shooting, but that kind of plan doesn't always pan out. |

Honestly between the changes to Swordsmen and Angelius I'm honestly really excited to play Fyanna again. I haven't played in many months to begin with, but the dynamic update has peaked my interest again. If I can ever find the time or energy to play that is.
