You've already got a pretty good list whether you know it or not. It has a lot of assassination potential. Low armor casters are goin to have to stay well away. Kill box scenarios are your friend. Anyway, you might look into a couple of Warwitch Sirens to give some focus to the arc node jacks. Ghaspy does not like to share his focus. A Skarlock could be useful, but really necessary with your chosen warcaster. After that, though, I'd would seriously look into the Deathjack.

Also pick up a Skarlock Thrall. Nice cheap solo that gets to pop off your Casters spells. I nearly always take one with nearly all the Cryx Casters!

Need more 's in my life! |

I largely agree with what has been said, although I will add that if you do pick up any Satyxis make sure you also pick up the UA that goes with them. In the vast majority of cases if you can take the UA with a unit, you want to because they add so much value to the squad.
You might also want to look at picking up a second warcaster. They can massively change how your army plays and add a ton of variety to your games. Good warcasters to look at are Skarre1, either Denegrah, any of the other versions of Asphyxious,

There are so many neat toys for Cryx. I second getting another caster. Try something very different than your current one, like the Witch Coven.

Also, check out my history blog: Minimum Wage Historian, a fun place to check out history that often falls between the couch cushions. |

Easily done! ;-)
You will usually find him a place in a lot of lists. I usually find it more useful to cast your friendly spells through him to save your focus, this also increases the range of your casters support.
As for casters have you got any thoughts on your next one?

Venny and Gaspy3 are good hordes drops.
Personally I like Gaspy3s playstyle a bit more, but Venny can be fun too.
