New to Legion - Rhyas 15-50

[Thyrshol]

I've mainly played Warmachine, but would love to try out Hordes.

Ive settled on Rhyas as a warlock I would like to try, but am unsure on the lists for her.

Thoughts on these various lists?

rhyas isn't a great warlock by any stretch of the imagination. she is fairly regarded as our worst lock. however, bringing her with proteous offers some interesting drag flip possibilities. she works well with scythean and the battle engine as well. carny is fine but you rely on him surviving a round of attacks. obviously swordsmen when you get to higher points are great with the ua, BFS are great too (dont fear charging with them, they are battle wizards)

if you have settled into her as your choice good luck.

No they're not.

As to the lists. Rhyas benifits far more from a Ravagore (safe fury asset, forces engagement through ranged power, while keeping the feat / throw opening), or a Scythean (cheaper for the similar overall power, Rapport to ensure Bloodbath happens, Feat + Reach is great, and can set up an amazing bloodbath). I'd also call double swordsmen over kill, you want some ranged game, double min swordsmen just means you protect less with Stealth. Better off with a single max, and some support. You also need a shredder.
