im back part 2

so this is turning out to be a bigger longer and uncut edition of coming back to the blogging scene and now the juices are flowing im having trouble stopping.  So lets re cap with the list

abby1
proteus
archangel
carnivean
naga
sorceress and hellion
sorceress and hellion
ice witches
shepherd
forsaken

so ill go over a few choices and build up the current combos I'm using and we'll work our way down the list.  the theme oracles of annihilation for those reading that don't have much legion experience the main deal maker is starting with upkeeps in play is super good when abby is a fury6 warlock and has 3 upkeeps on her card its really good. 

now the giant dragon shaped elephant in the room the archangel and the secret sauce that is abby1 I think this is the best place for him for those wanting to use him in games and here's why.  with playing god hes sp8 threats 13" free charges and 21/19/19 and ashen veil makes him a pseudo deff 13 in combat some help to hit from puppet master and he has been getting plenty of work done for me. he still needs to be cared for and kept away from scary heavies that will wreck his face. I keep him back an soften things up with his gun and animus a pow16s if they hit are lethal and repo away and screen him (you can swop the naga for farrow Valkyries for shield guard).  Then should they fail to kill him feat heal an go crazy again LOL.

the seraph is a threat extender and mat fixer this pushes the humble carnivean to threaten 12/22 melee/ranged respectively with playing god also wild aggression makes him so good assault that can be pow16 as well and upto 7 attacks or 7 at 20/18/18 with playing god.

the sorceress and hellion explains the previous statement those wondering how you get 7 attacks with playing god is because of this beauty.  the hellion has a special rule called aerial coordination which lets flying beasts charge for free! hold up last time I checked he didn't have wings and that's true but like red bull abby gives him wings and free charges all round making this very fury efficient. wind ravager also helps mitigate some shooting but im finding against low mat ranged units running them up and jamming can be just as effective and asks a difficult question 

proteus with unyielding snacking rapid healing and a feat that fully heals him back up he's going no where fast! except directly to someone's face sporting an impressive 15" threat comprised of slipstream playing god and a 4" reach. with 7 attacks at 16/18/18

abby on feat turn can charge in and free up models pns15 mat7 with a 10.5-12.5" threat is nothing to sniff at.  She also uses blightburst to mess up order of activation and cycle key spells namely playing god. I've also been playing around with refuge on abby at the start with the intention of getting her into combat and then sprint away.  ill also mention that playing god is really easy to cycle and use as the effects only end when abby activates.

this is the core of the list that does the heavy lifting

the ice witches mainly hand out puppet master so far for re rolls but they have sprays to clear flags and zones

shepherd/forsaken is fury management

the naga is here for wraithbane mostly

and that's where I'm at with abby1 the next list is anamag in PT next time!

im back!

its been far to long but I'm back enjoying the game more than ever and I'm on a mission.

Absyolonia, Terror of Everblight - Making legion great again !!
So legion have been through CID and I'm loving the dragonspawn, I want to go over a caster I've been playing recently in my pairing and that's Abby1.  I've been having loads of fun with her in my games mainly because I feel like she is the secret sauce for one big sexy dragon.  Lets re cap on her card for those that don't play legion and not familiar with her skills and abilities.
abilities
elite cadre forsaken - friendly forsaken get ashen veil
resourceful- free upkeeps on models in its battle group
spontaneous mutation- abby can suffer damage during her activation to gain 1 of the following for each point suffered, the damage cant be transferred.

ashen veil
warp strength +2 str
wings +1spd and flight

her claws have grievous wounds

spells and feat
blight burst is a round spell aoe4 cost 3 rng10  enemy non warcaster models cant spend focus/fury or channel spells

playing god cost2 range 6 upkeep - targets a warbeast and they are affected by spontaneous mutation and once per turn are a free transfer (spoiler its awesome)

refuge cost2 range6 upkeep - as long as you hit a model you can move away ignoring free strikes another kool spell

wild aggression cost3 range6 upkeep - run/charge slam and trample power attacks for free and boosted melee attack rolls 

feat- panacea models in control range have all damage removed(yeah that's right!)  and they gain rapid healing and it lasts for a round
