Just watched the battle report and pretty much everything I was worried about your LotFP list came true unfortunately. Not using artefacts for one is already a big no-no. For what should be an infantry army (because of the command of recursion which is exclusively for infantry, not any unit) and spamming endless spells type army (with the reroll spells) in my eyes, the artefacts/command traits really help for that. Fiends do nothing unfortunately, and a unit of 3 Varanguard is a lot of point to invest in something that at the end of the day is pretty squishy. Going Eternus should only be ok if you commit to almost full Varanguard with at the very least a big block of 6. Also at their price points, considering Legionnaires as cheap screens and objective grabbers could really do a better job than fiends despite being slower. They also would've defended the back of your army for example related to the KO deepstrike. They can be taken with the centaurion, which is meh but a great artefact/command holder. Don't expect like world champions lists or anything, just my two cents off what has been discussed in chats related to an army I'd love to run soon!
@@TheVardek13 Hey! Glad to have you here Vardek! I agree with you that fiends are not very good. The 4+ strike last potential can have its threats sometimes, but the problem is that us striking first is not really a big deal haha.. Reason for no artefact and heroic traits is because they are terrible ones in loftp. So Eturnus coming back on an 8+ is a big big ability with great threat. I really enjoyed this list so actually brought the exact same list to a one day tournament in Sweden and went 3-0 with it. It for sure has play but once people figure the army out I think it will die off. I think however it will be a great list in team tournaments because you will always be able to score high. 3 varanguards was basically my MVP unit in the tournament because I was unlucky enough to go against 2 OBR lists, where Jesper Melander who came second in GWs world championship was one of them. Without the varanguards I would have for sure lost against both the OBR. I was a bit worried that 3 wouldn't do enough damage but they are just nuts haha.. Hopefully you stick around for more battle reports and we always like to hear the thoughts of other players out there! Have a great new years!
Gorgeous demons!
@@jakubmikulastik1957 Thank you Jakub! Really appreciate it. They sure are pretty!

Recursion is for infanty or calvary- not a major distinction since that basically just adds bloodcrushers, but worth nothing.
