Hey friends, making a Vanari Legion style list, a legion from the beautiful fortress city of New Tor Yvresse, advised by Eltharion himself in his new form.

I’m not really competitive, but I’d like a list that feels competent, and able to fight against Ossiarchs with Katakros, Idoneth, Skaven, and KO. Don’t want to thrash them but hopefully have a fun match up out of it.

I understand Lumineth have a bit of stigma around them, so I’ve tried to make a list that doesn’t incorporate some of the nasty tournament builds, (god... people use 70-80 Sentinels and feel good?)

Anyway! What do you guys think? Any advice is welcome, thank you.

—[Tor Yvresse Legion]—

Iliatha (just the rules, using my own scheme)

Heroes
- Lord Regent Syrielle Nobleheart (General. 4+ revive Artefact, +1CP at start of game CT)
- Light of Eltharion, Warden of Tor Yvresse
- Calligrave Ninathar
- Loreseeker Salendti

Battleline
- 20x Wardens
- 20x Wardens
- 20x Sentinels
- 10x Dawnriders
- 5x Bladelords

Other
- Ballista
- Ballista

Endless Spells
- Sanctum of Amyntok

I really like this list, I think I will have to try something just like it honestly. I’ve been thinking about other spells to try on the lore seeker. Namely soulsnare chains or the aethervoid pendulum.

Seems a solid list, that can do well so long as competitive armies taking their competitive lists don't show up.

I've been thinking about what to do with the Loreseeker as well. Some big gakoff nuke to drop on the enemy after popping in to their face. Cherry on top, use him to assassinate a hero at the same time if possible. Aethervoid Pendulum looks to be the best at a first glance.

Going to step in to the thread with my own list I want to try, in a sort of similar theme. It'll be quick for me to get it ready, it's not aiming for excessive cheese, but hoping to be strong and a little fun. My local group can be competitive on some days, and casual on others. Usually comes down to planning what sort of game we're after.

Heroes
-Light of Eltharion
-Alarith Stonemage
-Scinari Cathallar
-Scinari Loreseeker

Behemoth
-Alarith, Spirit of the Mountain

Battleline
-20 Vanari Wardens
-20 Vanari Sentinels
-10 Vanari Bladelords

Other
-Alarith Stoneguard
-Starshard Ballista

Endless spells
-Hyshian Twinstones

==================
Other list, going for slightly lower drops, and giving the pendulum a shot.

Heroes
-Light of Eltharion
-Alarith Stonemage
-Scinari Loreseeker
-Scinari Cathallar (Auralan Legion)

Behemoth
-Alarith, Spirit of the Mountain

Battleline
-10 Vanari Sentinels (Auralan Legion)
-10 Vanari Sentinels (Auralan Legion)
-10 Vanari Wardens (Auralan Legion)
-10 Vanari Wardens (Auralan Legion)
-5 Vanari Bladelords

Other
-Starshard Ballista
-Starshard Ballista

Spells
-Aethervoid Pendulum

==================

With both lists, I'm still undecided on Grand City, leaning towards Iliatha for the first and Zaitrec for the second.

The second list is likely stronger since it lets me spread my army out some more, and has a lower drop count. Zaitrec to help skew the number of spellcasting I can successfully do in my favor. Looking at Relics, I'd likely give the Gift of Celennar(6+ FNP) and Fast Learner (extra unbind) to my Cathallar. Depending on the game, she may just sit on the new scenary piece and hang out with the battleline.

Considering another relic on the Loreseeker. Blade of Leaping Gold for +3 melee attacks sounds pretty good to me.

General gameplan is to use the Mountain Spirit to back up an offensive of defensive line, trying to take objectives or hold them. Try to get Loreseeker on to enemy heroes if they let me. If not, use it to cause chaos elsewhere.

Bladelords can get disgusting against horde units like clanrats or goblins. I did a little simulation of just 5 bladelords in a line, with a group of clanrats facing off against them in a very basic front v front attack. With 29 Clanrats in reach of the bladelords in total, they pump out 72 or so attacks.

Can you give loreseekers relics? Are they not unique? Sure I saw that on a YT vid.

That would be... kind of silly. I skimmed through a youtube review of Broken Realms: Teclis to check out the new relics and command traits and Grand Army rules, and to find points.

I didn't read anything about them being unique, so I could have just missed it. It's not in their warscroll. I sort of assumed since the Relics were opened up to ALL Scinari models, instead of just the Cathallar, that it would extent to everything with the Scinari keyword.

Yeah unfortunately the Loreseeker is listed as Unique and so takes the same restrictions as named characters. I was gonna give him the Iliathan 4+ resurrect relic haha but you can’t. They may FAQ it though.

Your lists look cool though, glad others (Runt Nosher too) are thinking similar ideas.

I hope the intent was to stop the Loreseeker from being taken multiple times, which was something I was actually planning on doing. And not to stop them from taking relics or command traits, because that would be kind of dumb. They've got some rules, and potentially strong points with popping in and dropping endless spells, but their damage output isn't actually anything too amazing on their own.
