Hey, just got my Cryx book and was looking at the Tier lists and what I own.
I can get Denny's Witching Hour Tier list to Tier 4 at 35pts.

I am trying to decide how to push up to 50.
Current 35pt list is:

Denny1
Skarlock
WarWitch Siren x2
Scrap Thralls (for the 4th solo)
Deathripper x2
Nightwretch x2
Defiler (free because of the other 4)
Slayer x2
Mechanithralls (full unit)

I only own one McThrall unit and no Biles.
I think I want to add another WWS, a full McThrall, Necrotech, and 2 Pistol Wraiths, or some other combo that swaps a Slayer for a Seether.
This way I only have to buy the Siren and the Mechanithralls.

Any other suggestions?

I just don't see the point at 35 of going with tier 4. I'd drop to tier 3 and add pistol wraiths and min biles or something and dump the Slayers. Then at 50 points go for tier 4. I just can't see an effective Denegrah list without 2 pistol wraiths. Plus at 50 then you can add jacks that actually work with her, like a Reaper and a Levithan.

Really? I haven't run Pistol Wraiths since shortly after MkII dropped.

They just didn't feel worth it. A slayer at 6pts feels like I get more in return.

I don't know anything about her tier lists, and I'm sure there are other people who could help but don't have the Cryx book...

You gotta keep the slayers, without them their isn't enough hitting power. I think at 3 points the pistol wrathes are too expensive.

Witching Hour is:

Only Non-C jacks, Biles and McThralls, Necrotechs, Pistols, Scraps, Skarlock, and WWSirens.

T1 gives FA+1 to Sirens for every helljack and AD to Sirens.

T2 4+ solos gives +1 starting roll

T3 gives a free bonejack if you have 4+

T4 If you have 2+ Helljacks, each one gets Advance move.(like scout move in 40k).

Odd that her tier list would deny you the jack with an affinity for her...

Its a fluff thing. Nightmare didn't exist before it killed Deneghra.

Haley and Deneghra fought. Denny had cut off one of Haley's arms and pinned the other to the ground.
Haley broke into a slayer's cortex and took it over, holding Deneghra in place.
Then she used her feet( groan) to spin her spear, and cut Deneghra in half.

Once she was brought back as Epic, she created Nightmare from the Slayer that killed her.

Well... I did not know that. Awesome.
