Best faction and Build for legendary

[Pumis]

Curious which faction you guys think is best for legendary and what sort of deathball stack you generally use.

Best as in, beats legendary the easiest?

Dwarf/Vampire were the easiest legendary campaigns I've done. I think I've done them all on legendary now besides Beastmen, Chaos, and Skarsnik.

vampire is easiest faction to use on legendary

easy starting position, lots of monsterous units, can just merge damaged units and raise brand new ones on the go with raise dead, mortis engine and corpse carts OPness, healing + raise dead model spells as well as single damage/multi damage spells that can snipe lord and wipe out chunks of infantry

actually I found Skarsnik easy...just spam the hell out of goblins and squigs (-40% upkeep OP) and you start with a Araknorak spider...

Agreesive playstyle - Beastmen , kill > hide > repeat

Passive playstlye - Bordelux , farm ork > end turn > confed > farm Beastmen > confed > farm nosca and Chaos > win quest > end

I think woodelfs are the most easy faction on legendary. Easy to get Allies, Vasalls and almost unlimited money with a very strong army.

Not after the patch..... I played through multiple legendary campaigns, but holy hell, the current state makes it almost impossible.

Retried 5 times this patch and was beaten by 2 full Clan Angrund armies PLUS Wissensland 2,5 armies.

My Arachnarok was surprisingly usesless in killing lords as it just kept throwing them around until my units where destroyed and it routed.....

I have noticed that this applies to almost any hero killer unit. For some reason it's damn hard to kill them when they are running away with low HP.

Yeah, that what I was going at.

Probably Vampire Counts. Crush the nearby vampires under your heel asap, after turn 11 declare war and immediatly take Stirland's capital in the same turn(Vlad's ability), because otherwise they confed too fast. Rush their smaller city, end them, do the same with Averland. All of this is easily possible before turn 30. Now you have 4 territories, in which you should build tall, deal with rebellions and prepare(by the way, forcing rebellions to spawn is a good idea because it gives you a constant flow of EXP and money/items. Don't forget to add your heros to your armies to level them quicker(exception being Necromancers).

Play nice with the dwarves(as in, never attack their settlements, bribe them a bit, never use hero actions against them), because they are a pain in the ass you don't really need otherwise.

Chaos will come and ignore you completely(they even ask for non-aggression pacts). Watch as they steamroll the Empire, claim the ruins, make a military alliance with the dwarves if you can, fight Chaos after stabilizing your new holdings.
