With Sundered Fate well and truly under way, I thought I would take a look back at one of the newer Warcry factions - Chaos Legionaires. I am going to break the faction down, give you all the pros and cons, go over their stats and rules, and well as give some advice on how to build your Warband based on the contents of the Chaos Legionaires box.

This is the band I planned to start Warcry with , now having a rethink. Great models , and a very helpful video , many thanks.

@wargamesontoast Год назад

The models are great, but the faction itself is smidge bland unfortunately

@TheTillyman123 Год назад

Great video, I would love to see a video on the new terrain!

@wargamesontoast Год назад

That’s an interesting idea. I will absolutely try and get something done covering the terrain!

@jiturnha Год назад

Great video, sad that the warband isn't good as like you I love the models. I'd be very interested in Darkoath Savagers or Horns of Hashut, so hope to see those soon!

@wargamesontoast Год назад

Rotmire and Horns of Hashut are likely the next two I will do, and I might actually set up a poll for the 1st edition warbands since so many people are suggesting different bespoke warbands (which is awesome) Glad you enjoyed the video!

Merci beaucoup pour vos conseils

@hjorhrafn Год назад

I appreciate the honesty shown here. It seems neither of us enjoy RNG abilities, so just reading them had me cold on the faction, but the bland was really killed them. I will say, I really like the design of the falchion, spear, and two-handed axes. Small praise, but at least it is something.

@wargamesontoast Год назад

The visual aspect of this faction is spot on. I’ve played a few times since this video and every time I’ve felt rather bored playing them. Can confirm I rarely used any of their abilities outside of the Mutandor’s charge. I don’t think I’ll be picking them up again unfortunately

@Suryp Год назад

I like not having duplicate models, i replaced one of the big axe guys with a chaos sorcerer lord (The anniversary model from warhammer+ sorta fits the look of the legionaires) Have yet to try them out in a game tho :)

@wargamesontoast Год назад

I am a fan of running more unique models. Gives the Warband a tag-tag look and feel that I am rather fond of.

@robertviscomi8199 Год назад

Great video. I found they aren’t flashy or excited but are really solid stat wise. They do well in pairs using the shields to react to get another guy engaged with them. I would also argue they aren’t too dice dependent because their abilities are wildly mediocre. So allying in something is awesome because only the tripples are good.

@wargamesontoast Год назад

Their stats are their selling point that’s for sure. I feel like when it comes to my comments on dice dependency, I was more talking about how their abilities are way too random, so you use more dice for less payoff. My gripe with them is that universal abilities like Onslaught dump in their uniques, and that makes them feel a bit too bland for me. They do very well with Ally support though. You can perfectly squeeze in a Marshall by dropping 3 Shields I believe

@robertviscomi8199 Год назад

@@wargamesontoast yeah you’re 100% right. Sloppity bilepiper is an interesting one here to help boost everyone up to five or even a blood priest/ great bray shaman for a pull. Lots of things to try.

@wargamesontoast Год назад

@@robertviscomi8199 Any bonus to movement is always going to be valuable in a faction as ponderous as Nurgle. You’re spot on with the Shaman too, as that guy is such a good value ally in so many chaos factions.

@mcscruff3813 Год назад

Great video and analysis, very glad I found your channel and I'm definitely hoping to see it grow! Plans for a dive into S2D soon-ish?

@wargamesontoast Год назад

Hey, glad you enjoyed the vid! I am looking to dive into the Slaves To Darkness in the future, but I wanted to try and get some of the bespoke Warbands out of the way first. I’ll try and get something out together once I clear out the rest of second edition (basically just Rotmire Creed and Horns of Hashut)

@CGOLAN Год назад

I really like the suggestion what is the best approach for assembly. I thing the video with a suggestion what is the best assembly configuration with 2-3 boxes would be also cool.

@wargamesontoast Год назад

I actually slotted in a “what to buy next/first” section in my Rotmire Creed video, suggesting hitting up eBay and grabbing an extra model as your first expansion. I think I’ll do something like that in the future :) Thanks!

@CGOLAN Год назад

@@wargamesontoast That is good to know. I am a Chaos fan, but for Warcry 2.0 newest warbands I do still have only a single box per Warband and had no time to analyze what to expand :)

@FidesAmoTerrapomum Год назад

Great vid, glad you gave an honest take. If you could change only one thing about the Legionaires what would it be? When you say they're swingy, is that mostly because of the abilities?

@wargamesontoast Год назад

I’m glad you like the video! If I could change one thing, it would be to make them more reliable. Even something as simple as changing Brutal Swing to +1 damage and crit damage instead of +1-3 crit damage. That way they aren’t relying on RNG quite as much. Chaos Legionaires work on the tabletop - they aren’t bad. They just don’t seem to have the reliability of other factions because their abilities vary so radically in their effectiveness

@CGOLAN Год назад

I have analyzed this warband and the final conclusion is Chaos Legionnaires ruleset was created for Warcry 1.0 - somebody who was preparing rules probably missed to update the abilities card or even a whole warband... Simplest solution IMHO would be: [Double] Shield Ram: Use existing wording from Compendium (Spire Tyrants or Slaves of Darkness), [Double] Brutal Strike: Use wording from Beheading Strike from Compendium (Soulblight Gravelords), [Triple] Headlong Charge: change to [Double]. With such a change I would go with for example: #for some fun with Mutandors: Decuriarch + 3x Mutandor + 3x Hornshield with Mace + Hornshield with Sword (1000 points, 8 activations, 124 hp). #for some fun with: using slaughterprist to trigger a reaction to move Ogroid: Decuriarch + Ogroid Myrmidon + Slaughterpriest(185) + 2xHornshield with Axe + 2xHornshield with Sword (1000 points, 7 activations, 130 hp). #for some fun game with similar combo with monster: Decuriarch + Chimera + Great Bray-Shaman + 2xHornshield with Mace + Hornshield with Sword (1000 points, 5+monster activations, 123 hp).

@wargamesontoast Год назад

They certainly need something to get them up to snuff I think.

@danielandrew6334 Год назад

I think the swingyness of the abilities gels with the overall base toughness and strength for the fighters, thank heck for the generic abilities for these chums though. But yeah i get that vibes of not feeling especially 'unique' when you are relying on universal abilities :D

@wargamesontoast Год назад

Oh deffo. Their base stats absolutely carry them and help make up for their randomness. Ngl, when they pop off and one shot enemy leaders, it’s pretty darn hype. They almost feel tailor made for ally support too

@danielandrew6334 Год назад

@@wargamesontoast Indeed, made generic so you don't feel bad on swapping some out :D

@ojkasper Год назад

About the abilities: Technically you can both activate (quad) Wrath of the First Prince and (triple) The True Master's Favour. You are getting above the 6 initiative dice when using wild dice. It does need a bit of luck to get correct roll but it can be done. If not for the wording 'this activation' on the Brutal Charge, you could even use (quad) Wrath of the First Prince and (double) Brutal Swing at the same time, but you need to sacrifice an activation to do it.

@wargamesontoast Год назад

Total mind fart on my behold there!
