Thanks for pointing out, it's actually only 10 Points left tho since the Rift wasn't updated, costing 80 points now ;-) sadly only 3 Endless spells allowed since last GHB .

double post, please remove

thanks a lot :) i tried to replicate the style of marco frisoni with his osl technique, on an amateur level ofc.. usually it is still Pinks (5) for the summons , their job is to reinforce the battlelines usually in front of the 30 plagues or to the flanks, but depending on the situation e.g. the corrupter has ported and needs troop support to hold an objective -> i go with plaguebearers. For me personally the Unit count is fine, high objective count (5+) or moving objectives can be a challenge of course, but in general to prevent to get outcapped in such scenarios you need to prioritize and focus on your killing power/porting verminloard to clear enemy units from higher point mission targets and tank with the rest. I found that the List has a great tournaround potential mid to lategame. Usually you have ~2 summons by then, the corrupter is in melee wreaking havoc (preferably at the flank or in a place where he is not insta-gibbed) with the other heroes / whatever is left supporting and you got some value spells off turns before. Kairos Gift of Change creating spawns to slow larger units (with spawn placed at the edge of the victim unit) in combination with the other endless spells and units supporting can be a game changer on its own, since it often completely renders some enemy assets useless for several turns. Belakors ability on a unit with the Verminlord casting the Vortex after is another little of several fun "combos" - it's even useful to use Kairos special one time dice trick to help get it through in such a situation. Cannot claim to have mastered the list in a long time but it has potential imo.

Played 2 tournaments recently in a very competitive, shooty/casting heavy meta , had decent success with the following list (2:1 wins each, losing to tzeentch and bonegrinz) : Allegiance: Legion of Chaos Ascendant - Mortal Realm: Ulgu LEADERS Kairos Fateweaver (400) Verminlord Deceiver (320) Verminlord Corruptor (280) Be'Lakor (240) UNITS 30 x Plaguebearers (300) 10 x Daemonettes (110) 10 x Daemonettes (110) ENDLESS SPELLS / TERRAIN / COMMAND POINTS Umbral Spellportal (70) Warp Lightning Vortex (80) Darkfire Daemonrift (50) even after the nerfs (which hit hard, but were kinda necessary) LoCA is a lot of fun to play and still solid 2 Tier imo. Since you cannot rely on summons alone anymore and double FNP gone, i upped the battlelines from 3x10 to 1x30+2x10 to improve board presence. Bela often disables Death Stars and is my double turn protection. List has a total of 9 Casts each round available with Strongest Endless spells (even tho Kairos can cast only 1 of them), summoning is a bonus and possible tide-turner lategame. Corrupter with the blade is an absolute blender. Porting from Deceiver is still very strong and adds flexibility. List lacks some synergy because Kairos cannot cast the strongest endless spells and despite the high cast count DMG from normal spell is mediocre also it's 7 drops. Would love to play Rotigus but again, Kairos can't cast his spell.. planning to test the K'daai Fireborn soon. Excited for new Demon Tomes in the Future, since each can contain something the legion can profit from potentially.

This hurts a lot when legit.. no more double FNP.

well, of course the pricing affects everyone in a different way - for me personally, once i decided to go with a certain faction i get all the models i want for my lists from the cheapest sources possible. Since i am playing mainly AoS on a competitive level, plenty of factors come into play here too naturally, but at one point i compare the investment when buying different Faction Army's as a whole and when i notice substantial price gaps, i simply go with the cheaper one. In the long run i might end up with one or two army's less in both Systems than initially planned. As long as i enjoy the hobby, i can overlook that a record profit company is raising prices on a more or less regular basis, because thats how it works when you own the market with such a popular system... there is an abstract pivot point tho, and should e.g. pricing go thru the roof one day or quality vs price would be off in my opinion, i would switch to something else hobbywise completely simply.

Been following the Topic and Lumineth news in general for quite a while now (HE were my first "proxy" Army back then) and while i like what has been released so far: the Model Range feels somehow incomplete atm, tho the consensus seems to be that we have seen all models by now. Even with the mountain theme in mind i do miss the Dragon/Phoenix style Monster and ballista-style warmachine quite a lot..

New edition was announced, "release of many new models", Necrons were mentioned in particular. New Rules, lots of Point Changes, Codexes will stay valid as PA naturally. FW stuff will change mostly. Wave of new Codexes incoming and something about a new Crusade mod for narrative play.
