He all,

I went to Crysis again this year. it is a miniatrure games fare in antwerp. Last year I had a very good time and So I and a friend decided we would go again. and thus it started...

I was planning to shop for expansions on my cryx and merc force, or if I found a really nice offer start a menoth force. In the end I had models for my cryx, mercs and a few extra models to use in a very small everblight force. (the last force consists of use as models made up out of the line of rackham's alchemists of Dirz.

what I took home:
Lich Lord Terminous €20,-
coven €10,-

Croe's Cutthroats €20,-
herne and Jonne €6,-

box of rackham with:
- 4 use as shredders
- 1 use as ryas
- 2 use as deathstrider
- 1 nephilim soldier

I also found a few very cool "black scorpion"-figures for use as undead Pirates and a undead Captain. These 5 models cost me €10,-. I might try to get a few more pirates in this style and make a unit of revenant crew. they all have a pistol and a sword, so it is possible, although the original models are also very nice...
- the 4 pirates: http://www.blackscorpionminiatures.com/product.asp?the_range=FPI&product=FPI9
- the captain: http://www.blackscorpionminiatures.com/product.asp?the_range=FPI&product=FPI8
From what they told me they are going to be making more variants of the undead pirates, so I should be able to get differing models in the same style...

The thing is that I am now looking at the lists I can make with these (except the pirates, as I am really 5 or even 6 short to make a unit.) The following lists are something I would like to try, but maybe you can give me a few pointers and tips om how to go about playing similar armies... (all are 35 points)

Cryx
Lich Lord Terminus
- Deathripper (distraction and maybe node a spell sometime)
- Deathripper (distraction and maybe node a spell sometime)
- Nightmare (reach and Ravager, should be good, especially against prey)
Bane Thralls (Leader and 5 Grunts) (basic all round heavy hitters)
Bile Thralls (Leader and 5 Grunts) (If I can set upo a nice splash when I Feat this will generate many souls for me)
Mechanithralls (Leader and 9 Grunts) (need to get a blister, but these are main bodyguard of terminus)
Necrosurgeon & 3 Stitch Thralls (have to get, but seem very good...)
Scrap Thrall (3) (these I have to get, but they act like filler)
Pistol Wraith (points filler, but IMHO very usefull too!!)

Will this list work with Terminus? Do I need to change stuff etc...

Mercenaries:
Magnus the Traitor
- Renegade (pop and drop)
- Renegade (pop and drop)
- Mangler (My only heavy for mercs, but looks like it is good against infantry and can help wreck a heavy in a pinch)
Croe's Cutthroats (Croe and 5 Grunts) (I like the looks of the unit. Poison should help in dealing wioth high arm single wound infantry)
Herne & Jonne (Got the model cheap and want to try it. Appears to be a nice addition and can wreck a heavy on a turn where a heavy was dropped by a obliterator rocket)
Steelhead Halberdiers (Leader and 9 Grunts) (I't a bit of filler, but the CMA could be very usefull. )
Eiryss, Mage Hunter of Ios (it's Eiryss, what do you think she will do?? )
Kell Bailoch (2 sniper shots with good chances to hit, yes please...)

Pretty basic list IMHO. a lot of shooting (not always as accurate, but still) and with the feat hit and run it could make for a fun turn... Does seem a but of a crutch-list though, as it would play like a pop and drop, only with the renegades missiles. anything that would make this unplayable? should I ad something or not??

My final list is for my fledgeling Everblight force. These are not MK2 yet (almost) so the points are MK1 500.

Everblight
Rhyas
- Shredder
- Shredder
- Shredder
- Nephilim Soldier
- Carnivean
Shepperd
2 deathstiders
10 blighted Swordsmen

Basically using what I have. Don't know if this list can work. Any help is appreciated...


Thanks for reading the long post and responding

Woah, those BlackScorpion undead pirates are cool.
Dammit.

I have been buying up their regular pirates to run as Sea Dogs. They make really cool stuff.

I really don't need any more Revenants, but those are awesome.

Yeah, you really do need the full unit of Pirates to get them to work.

Unless you don't like the model, you should get Rengrave and use the BS captain as the quartermaster.
Rengrave is a fun model to paint.
The Rev crew are really expensive, but they attract a lot of attention quickly.
I tried to run 2 min units in a MkII game. They stuck around til the end, but it would have been nice to have the points for something a bit more hitty.

Sorry, I can't help out much with the lists.
But have you considered running nightwretches in place of the rippers? Same points now.
The threat of the AoE can get someone to spread out more than they would otherwise.
Or 2 slayers instead of nightmare and Pistol wraith?
I haven't played with/against most of that stuff. My regular opponents play Dwarfs, Baldur, Skorne, and Khador.

Edit for spelling.

Rhyas lists seem to consist of:

Rhyas + Rhyas Delivery

The Nephilm Soldier is Rhyas Delivery.

The Carnivean is not.

Herne & Jonne (Got the model cheap and want to try it. Appears to be a nice addition and can wreck a heavy on a turn where a heavy was dropped by a obliterator rocket)

Herne and Jonne can do no such thing. They shoot out one POW 14 with a crap load of POW 7 blast damage.

@Malfred: I wrote the list based on the figures I have and How I want to use them. I know nothing of what rhyas can do yet, only that he can kill almost anything.

The Carnivean is there as an extra target and to have something to tangle with other heavy's. I mostly play against Khador, so I need something hard hitting, seeing as I don't have anything else that can do it...

@OomieStompa: I was under the impression that he could fire 3 times with the arquebus. 3 shots at pow 14 can wreck or severely handicap a heavy. Maybe not so much a Khador heavy, but surely the cryxian heavy's take quite a bit of damage...


@ all: any more comments??, I can use them...

Also as a Side note, How do I best go about building Terminus?? I can't get the beast to line up right... That and the fact his wings are very heavy makes it one of the hardest figures to gleu together. I am not even converting it ATM... (wanted to try an iopen wing conversion, but have given up on that plan after seeing the way the joints work...

Nope. It shoots once and additional templates deviate from it.

So you're the one who took that second hand Lich lord Terminus home from Crysis. I had it in my hand at the second hand fare, waited for 20 minutes to get a ticket, became extremely unpatient and thought "it'll probably still be here in a few hours when there's less of a crowd".

Kinda stupid and naiv of me, but hey. I hope you find a good use for it.

Sorry for going off topic.

All and all i think your Terminus list looks solid with enough infantery in it.
The Nightmare fits well with his reach IMHO. You could drop one of the deathrippers and the scrap thralls as i personally would max out the bane thralls and perhaps try to squeeze in Bane lord Tartaros. YMMV.

Good luck.

@ Krilau: Thanks for being impatient.

I also had to wait for about 10 minutes before I could get a ticket. They where really taking their time. Next year I hope they use another system, as this one sucks...

As for the list-comments: I am planning to spend some money on the making of this list, but not a lot. The surgeon and a pack of MCthralls is very needed. Then the 3 scrapthralls are a cheap filler to roundd it of (all in all 20 - 25 euro.) If i buy 2 blisters of banethralls instead of the scrappies I am out a bit more (like 45 - 50) not the intention at the moment as I am working on my house...

I hate gaming on a budget, but my wife will kill me if she finds out I spend another 50 on miniatures... (sometimes it is better to be single, although other times make up for it )
