Just reached 35 points of Cryx. To celebrate, I'm asking for list advice.

Name of the game is debuffs. pDenny locks up a 'Jack with Crippling Grasp, helps the Seether out by Parasiting it's target. Deathrippers are Arcnodes, but also useful for tying up ranged 'Jacks/enemies. Defiler follows the same, but isn't for tying up stuff in CC. Mechs distract, and are good for hitting 'Jacks if necessary. Biles kill infantry and attempt casters. Gorman stalls enemy 'Jacks and tries to Black Oil whatever he can. Pistol Wraith also stalls, Banes wreck house.

Personally I'd drop a Deathripper to max out the Mechanithralls and take a Necrosurgeon. I'd also downgrade the Seether to a Slayer to pick up a Warwitch Siren and a Necrotech with Scrap Thrall.

Your list looks solid but I personally would want more 'cold' bodies on my side of the battlefield. Certainly not a bad list and I see no reason it won't perform as you intend.

The list looks nice and is a lot like my pdenny list. I always like to take an extra pistolwraith and a siren instead of the defile tho. Maybe exchange Gorman with a witch as well, or maybe using it for another model. (I don't take mercs with my cryx...)

I think you are fine with 3 arc nodes. without them you have no reliable way of debuffing without putting Denny in danger.

Personally, I would run with Nightwretches instead of Deathrippers. I don't like the temptation of putting Arcnodes into melee.

You should max out at least one unit, I suggest either the McThralls or Bile Thralls. Banes do fine at 6 with stealth.

I agree with the choice of Seether. Gives a focus and run/charge for free is great.
If you are looking to swap anything, I would drop Gorman OR PW to max a unit. Both give good abilities, but sometimes you need bodies.

I do really want to max out those McThralls, for sure. I'm thinking about taking out Gorman for the max unit, but he preforms really well with the whole debuff theme going down (And -4 to MAT and DEF is too good to pass up) However, I may take out the Pistol Wraith and max out the Thralls and give them a Brute. I'll play test a bit more and see where it goes.

I'm really wanting a Siren too though. Powerful stuff, what with Venom, Shadow Bind, and whatnot. Denny feat combined with Shadow Bind puts enemy casters at -5 DEF, which is just beautiful.

They only have MAT 5 though and you can't give them focus. The real reason to take a Siren IMO is for the focus they give to your jacks. Less focus spent powering your arc nodes for running means more focus for spells/boosting jacks.
