Siege vs Legion need advice

[thecapn226]

I got a game against legion coming up soon and wanted to know if this list is good. I haven't played against legion yet and the list he is running is;

Absolonia?

3x shredders
Carniveran
Typhon

Shepard

I want to run my 25pt siege list against this

Siege
Defender
Ironclad
Squire

ATGM+UA
B13

Any ideas on this?

i would drop the Black 13, only because Siege has magesight and theyre a little redundant with the gunmages already there. You need Reinholdt with Siege, he is virtually an autoinclude. So with three points left i would add in Arlan for some focus efficiency and a Stormsmith to pop annoying solos.

Agreed, B13 is redundant against that list.. While a great support piece they are definitely more of infantry/solo killers with excellent toolbox applications.. with that extra four points you have room for either a better melee jack... OR.. a hunter,gorman, eeiyriss... Upkeep removal will really hurt an absy player...Other than that I like the list... Gunmages can really keep the remaining beasts out of your face with thunderbolts.

edit: noticed poster above me mentioned reinholdt, he definitely needs to be considered with siege.. and you will need him eventually assuming you stay with cygnar.

If its Shepard, you're ******

So drop b13 and add in a stormclad maybe? Or ol rowdy? I don't have arlan yet.

[eKraye]

you may want to post more of your models.. if you're taking arlan I would tie that defender to the gunmages with arlan trailing behind the defender to power boost... so you can really max the defender at the low points scale... because if you boost on the defenders crit brutal on feat turn on either of those beasts then boost the damage on top of the crit brut you've got a pretty decent chance at just wiping a beast out... and if not - easily taking him out afterwards. (preferably typhon...)

still eeiyriss to drop animi (if she does that, I don't recall because excessive healing is a pain.)
