Dracothjay Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Since the book has been out, I haven’t had the time to play Legion of Night, but this Tuesday I’m against a fellow friend for my first game using the book. As everyone has had a bit of time to test now, what legion is excelling? If any legion excels for that fact. I know it’s a broad question, but I’m wondering what seems to be more powerful?

stratigo Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 So far, a lot of people are gravitating to the legion of sacrament, with some grand host lists too. I do think legion of night is really strong, but will take a bit more time to unlock the best way to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 i think they all can be strong AF depending on your play style blood - alpha /hit hard sacrament - control & debuff night - tricks & maximise on peoples mistakes GH - control & debuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hawkins Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I just had my second game with Legion of Sacrament (vs. High Elves) and I liked it a lot. I used the Deathmarch Battalion and between that and the 3" move from the command trait, I was moving 7" in the hero phase. I think it's got some of the best artifacts, including two that are essential for protecting characters from shooting-- Wristbands of Black Gold for a 4+ "ward save," and the Shroud for -1 or -2 to hit rolls for enemy shooting.

This is definily the way to go when facing a shooting heavy army. Deathmarch Battalion + mastery of death command trait and the 2 shooting debuff artefacts. Black knights that move 19" and a guaranteed 6" charge is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon Knuckles Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Unfortunately FAQ has hurt this strategy a bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could put a white king on a horse and just have him run around with the knights all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon Knuckles Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 yes the wholly within. Like I said, it hurts "a bit." Still enables that crazy BK movement and charge, which is the most important part imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jgregs Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Cool, I actually like the visual of a mounted wight king and like 15 black knights running around the board at warp speed. Or a wight king on foot just launching the black knights at the enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon Knuckles Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Right on. I also like the visual of the opponent's face when he eats a first turn charge from a big unit of buffed up Black Knights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other two wouldn't benefit from the Deathmarch move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
