Doom Herald Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 I'm working on a 2500pt list using Shadow Legion (Chaos Daemons). I'm hoping to get some suggestions and thoughts on the list and strategies. The list is at the bottom. * First off, I'm going to be using Fellgor Beastmen and using their rules, combined with the army wide Deep Strike, dropping them on the objectives in the middle of the board on T1 to start getting early VP off of objectives in T2. Im still not 100% sure this would work, but it seems to be the consensus I can find online. Follow up with sticky what I can with Cultists. Beasts of Nurgle are mostly going to be for deepstrike screening early game and as needed later. Soulgrinders are going to mostly sit in the back and use indirect fire and Phlegm Bombardment until enemy units get closer. Fateskimmer and Screamers are going to use their fast movement and their ability to drop mortal wounds on vulnerable units before following through with a charge and using the Enhancement and melee weapons to finish units. They seem to be a versatile melee unit that can take down whatever unit as needed. Raptors are going to be a more dedicated anti-vehicle / anti-elite. I'm unsure if I'm going to go the Melta or Plasma route with them. Finally, my Chosen will be more of an anti-infantry / melee unit. Wardogs will also be anti-infantry. Be'lakor will fight infantry with range or close in on armor as needed. I plan to make good use of Binding Shadow, to maneuver forces, especially with the Chosen and Raptors, since the Lord attached to them will make the stratagem free. The Firebrands are there to hopefully provide emergency healing to Be'lakor if needed since their weapons can force battleshock tests. I'm also hoping I will get a little bit of usage out of the Wardogs battleshock rule. The Shadow of Chaos rule means Battleshock might actually do something useful. While I'm not counting on it, the little bit of help from it might prove useful. 2.5K (2475 points) Chaos Daemons Onslaught (3000 points) Shadow Legion * CHARACTERS Be’lakor (375 points) • Warlord • 1x Betraying Shades 1x The Blade of Shadows Fateskimmer (120 points) • 1x Arcane Fireball 1x Herald combat weapon 1x Screamer bites • Enhancement: Malice Made Manifest OTHER DATASHEETS Beasts of Nurgle (65 points) • 1x Putrid appendages Beasts of Nurgle (65 points) • 1x Putrid appendages Screamers (160 points) • 6x Screamer • 6x Lamprey bite Soul Grinder (180 points) • Daemonic Allegiance: Nurgle • 1x Harvester cannon 1x Iron claw 1x Phlegm bombardment 1x Warpclaw Soul Grinder (180 points) • Daemonic Allegiance: Nurgle • 1x Harvester cannon 1x Iron claw 1x Phlegm bombardment 1x Warpclaw ALLIED UNITS Chaos Lord (120 points) • 1x Daemon hammer 1x Plasma pistol • Enhancement: Fade to Darkness Chaos Lord with Jump Pack (105 points) • 1x Plasma pistol 1x Power fist • Enhancement: Leaping Shadows Chosen (250 points) • 1x Chosen Champion • 1x Boltgun 1x Chaos Icon 1x Plasma pistol 1x Power fist • 9x Chosen • 8x Accursed weapon 6x Bolt pistol 5x Boltgun 4x Combi-weapon 3x Plasma pistol 1x Power fist Cultist Firebrand (45 points) • 1x Balefire pike 1x Close combat weapon Cultist Firebrand (45 points) • 1x Balefire pike 1x Close combat weapon Cultist Firebrand (45 points) • 1x Balefire pike 1x Close combat weapon Cultist Mob (50 points) • 1x Cultist Champion • 1x Autopistol 1x Brutal assault weapon • 9x Chaos Cultist • 9x Autopistol 9x Brutal assault weapon Cultist Mob (50 points) • 1x Cultist Champion • 1x Autopistol 1x Brutal assault weapon • 9x Chaos Cultist • 9x Autopistol 9x Brutal assault weapon Cultist Mob (50 points) • 1x Cultist Champion • 1x Autopistol 1x Brutal assault weapon • 9x Chaos Cultist • 9x Autopistol 9x Brutal assault weapon Fellgor Beastmen (70 points) • 1x Fellgor Champion • 1x Chainsword 1x Plasma pistol • 9x Fellgor Beastmen • 9x Autopistol 7x Close combat weapon 1x Corrupted stave 1x Great weapon Fellgor Beastmen (70 points) • 1x Fellgor Champion • 1x Chainsword 1x Plasma pistol • 9x Fellgor Beastmen • 9x Autopistol 7x Close combat weapon 1x Corrupted stave 1x Great weapon Raptors (170 points) • 1x Raptor Champion • 1x Astartes chainsword 1x Bolt pistol • 9x Raptor • 5x Astartes chainsword 5x Bolt pistol 4x Close combat weapon 4x Meltagun War Dog Executioner (130 points) • 1x Armoured feet 1x Daemonbreath meltagun 2x War Dog autocannon War Dog Executioner (130 points) • 1x Armoured feet 1x Daemonbreath meltagun 2x War Dog autocannon Exported with App Version: v1.41.0 (98), Data Version: v687 Tallarn Commander 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386771-2500-py-shadow-legion-list-advice-and-criticism/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
