Editing Hordes/Tactics/Legion of Everblight (section)

====Light Warbeasts====

Probably the most situational section of the Legion bestiary, as none of the below are auto-takes by any means.  Rather, like most lights you're looking for something they bring to the table that you can't get in their larger (or smaller, in the case of lessers) brethren.

*'''Afflictor:''' A flying warbeast with the ability to spawn Incubi when it stabs things. So that's fun.
*'''Naga Nightlurker:''' Exists solely to boost the Legion's access to non-elemental ranged weapons and ability to overcome magical defences. No other reason. 
*'''Nephilim Bloodseer:''' Animus fucks with enemy casting, gives a +2 to Magic attack rolls made against enemies that he's within 5" of, can cast the animus of any friendly faction  warbeast within its command range, ARM 18, Flight, Reach, Brutal Charge. <s>what's not to like? the fact that this fucker's model has yet to be released.</s> They have had a model since August 2014. How outdated is this fucking page?
*'''Nephilim Bolt Thrower:''' One of our best ranged 'beasties, equipped with a FUCKHUEG ballista that knocks enemies backwards. animus grants essentially flight.
*'''Nephilim Protector:''' A defensive light warbeast with Shield Guard, allowing it to pull attacks off enemy models. Kind of runs antithesis to the Legion's balls-out offensive playstyle, so overall not very popular.
*'''Nephilim Soldier:''' A dedicated melee light in a game that doesn't favor this sort of warjack/warbeast design: guess how this is going to go?  The Soldier is good with his sword (POW 14, reach) but doesn't have much of a role due to lacking the volume of attacks to take on hordes of infantry, the raw power to scare heavy targets or the durability to tank.  For 5 points you're taking him for his animus if you're taking him at all.
:'''''Animus(Massacre)''''': Allows the target to charge without being forced, and if the affected model destroys an enemy model with a charge attack they can advance 1" and make an additional melee attack.  A decent animus, mostly hampered by the fact that it's on a warbeast that otherwise won't be contributing much.  This does enhance some of Rhyas' feat turn shenanigans though, and it's worth considering if you're playing her.
*'''Raek:''' Very cheap, and comes equipped with Stealth and various other manoeuvrability boosters; makes an excellent flanking model. Also, its animus grants immunity to free strikes, which some warcasters will adore. The main use for Raeks is to run behind enemy lines with its great speed abilities, and two-handed throw a warcaster of choice into the jaws of your local carnivean (in a list with Abby).
*'''Teraph:''' Probably the worst thing in the Legion point-for-point; not so much a bad model as one which is far outshone by the Nephilim Bolt Thrower and the Ravagore. Its animus is rather fun for ranged support, though, and all of Lylyth's incarnations love it for that alone, so it isn't all bad.
