I have only ever played a demo game of warmachine and at my local hobby shop there are mainly Khador, Cryx, Menoth, Circle, and Troll players.I have some questions for anyone experienced with LoE
1) I've heard that they have very weak defense but they are fast and strike hard. Is this the general playstyle?
2) I really like the warbeasts and I've heard that Legion is (one of) the best for running warbeast heavy armies. Is this accurate? (I don't care too much for most of the infantry)
3) Most players at my shop are warmachine players, is there a good balance between fighting hordes vs warmachine?
4) Most of the players at my store run semi-competitive to tournament tailor lists (which I like playing competitive) is Legion a reasonably good army to field and how difficult would a new player have playing them?
Thursday night is warmahordes at my shop and I'm going there to watch some games and learn about the rules more. I'm excited to get into this game
