I just started warmachine and although cryx guys aren't chaotic they're enough evil to me! Because this is a very small list so it needs some refilling. Comments are appreciated, and tips on how to expand this battlegroup are taken happily.

Iron Lich Asphyxious -6
Cankerworm 5
Nightmare 10
Seether 9
Skarlock Thrall 2
Bane Thralls (Leader and 5 Grunts) 5

Total:25p.

Now I need some comments or else . Also, I'm really into warjacks so a warjack heavy list would be kinda nice.

That's.... not 15 points.

It's 25 points, so maybe he missed the 1 for a 2 .

I think the NM is a bit much for the list and the lack of arc nodes is quite upsetting for pGaspy.

Agreed, it's a bit top heavy. Drop one of the heavy warjacks.

Yeah, i fixed that list. I forgot to count the nightmares points in. Im planning to add some bonerippers and a defiler to bring some versatility to the list. Since i have mostly of the played warhammer faba or 40k so i totally forgot the arc node special rule . Still needs some refilling.

Drop the Nightmare and throw in a Light Jack you can use as an arc node and the Bane Thrall UA. That'll Balance you're Focus allocation and Power up your Thralls.

as long as he can make his tough rolls and take out canker worm and put in the withershadow combine this will help out a lot as they can make a new jack with same base as the rect marker with dark industries also try and see if you can get tartarus in there somewhere as he can make more bane thralls

I think I would drop the nightmare and add a couple arc nodes (2 defilers or defiler + deathripper).
The death chickens really enhance your threat range and vectoring.
Keep the Canker, its bite, while only P+S of 11 equates to a 22 once you figure in its armor piercing, plus its ability to repair itself and salvage weapons (shooting people with their own weapon......too funny).
Withershadow, while useful (I use them a lot), don't count on there Dark Industry, much harder in practice than theory. Any opponent familiar with them will kill off one of the three to eliminate the ability. Personally I have only been able to take down a light jack with them. Although they do combine well with the Reapers harpoon drag attack.
Adding a machine wraith is always entertaining as well. You are not always going to steal a 'jack with it but your opponent can't ignore it either, so it causes them to divide their attention. More of a harrassment item.
Getting a scarlock in there is also a big plus, gives you one free spell every turn.

Good luck and happy hunting.

Malice plus Withershadow is pretty good. I've gotten a couple Seethers from that combo.

One I turned a Defender into a Seether and he killed Kraye.

Good times.

That said, you should definitely have a couple Bonejacks instead of Nightmare or the Seether.

Maybe one Bonejack and Bane Thrall UA? Tough+Dead Rise are well worth the 3 points.
