Journeyman Rules:
Spoiler:
Week 1 - Battlebox
Week 2 - 15pts (Must contain Battlebox units)
Week 3 - 25pts (Must contain Battlebox units)
Week 4 - 25pts (Must contain Battlebox units, although a caster swap is allowed)
Week 5 - 35pts (Must contain Battlebox units and use original/swapped caster)
Week 6 - 35pts (No restrictions)


Week 2 - 15 points
Spoiler:
- pLylyth
- 1 Carnivean
- 4 Shredders
- Forsaken / Succubus / Shepherd + Spell Martyr

Which would suit a 15 point battle box game better; Offensive Forsaken, Shepherd + 1 Spell Martyr or free upkeep Succubus?

Week 3 - 25 points
Spoiler:
- pLylyth
- 1 Carnivean
- 4 Shredders
- Forsaken / Succubus / Shepherd + Spell Martyr
- Ogrun Warspears + UA


Week 4 - 25 points and caster swap
Spoiler:
- pThagrosh
- 1 Carnivean
- 4 Shredders
- Ogrun Warspears + UA
- Shepherd

Stuck between the Warspears + UA + Shepherd or Striders + UA + Succubus/ Forsaken. Any advice or experience here?

Week 5 - 35 points
Spoiler:
- pThagrosh
- 1 Carnivean
- 4 Shredders
- Ogrun Warspears + UA
- 1 Scythean or Stiders + UA
- 2 points free

Scythean or Stiders + UA ? What'd fill the last 2 points the best?

Week 6 - 35 points No Restrictions
Spoiler:
- pThagrosh
- 1 Carnivean
- 1 Shredder
- 1 Naga Nightlurker
- 1 Scythean
- Ogrun Warspears + UA
- Shepherd
- Succubus/ Forsaken

How does this look for the final list? And again, Forsaken or Succubus?

Thanks for reading!

Week 2: 1 forsaken will not be enought fury management, and Lylyth struggles to keep her beasts in her 10" control bubble. I'd recommend two shepherds, 1 for fury management, the other as insurance and to help extend her forcing range.

Week 3: Same

Week 4: Looks good, could definately do Striders+UA with another shepherd. It really depends on your opponents and how infintry heavy their lists are.

Week 5: Scythean for sure and two shepherds.

Week 6: Is up to you. I'm a fan of one of each of the big beasties for pThags as it opens his game up and enables him to spam SG on each which puts them to ARM 22 in melee. They brick up and then the rest to taste. Ogrun+UA with his dmg buff are amazing, so I could see your list working well, but I love Ravagores. Melee heavy lists can suffer against control feats so if you go this route, beware.

The only thing I would add, is that if you want to run Thagrosh1, you'll want a Succubus to help spam spiny growth. And to reiterate, Thags1 likes his heavies.

hivemind66: Thanks! I like the Shepherd model so including more sounds good to me I do like Ravagores too. My thoughts would be to take out the Scythean and Forsaken/Succubus to make room for a Ravagore and another Shepherd, rather than remove the Warspears.

Mechanomancer: I'd love a Succubus and a free upkeep on Draconic Blessing would great. The trouble is finding room for it. Drop the Shredder for it?

Would the Ogrun unit be worth dropping for another heavy? I feel like I'd be losing some offensive output and target saturation.

Not a Legion Player, but I have to say it is pretty damn solid. I am doing the same thing as well for this league, but I am playing Mercs with the pMagnus battlebox. I would say try and put the Shepherd in there in week 5, although I am not sure if it is a 2 point solo, I know it is used commonly in a Legion list from what I have seen, and it works.

Thanks! Shepherds are great solos and I'm noticing the common theme is to max out on them

On a side note, I looked up the pMagnus battlebox. Daaaaaamn, that looks mean!

Funny thing was that I was playing against Circle today in the same league that you are doing now. My opponent relaxed all of pKaya's fury so she could pull it all on her next turn. He did not notice, as did me until I checked my control area, which was less than 1 inch out of it with the Renegade in about the same position. Guess where the Obliterator rocket aimed at and almost killed?
