Where should I go from the Battlebox?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

From this point you need to start thinking about what type of army you want to start to collect. Depending on how big your looking at expanding you now have three light jacks and one smallish heavy jack, which is about as many or slightly more jacks than a single Caster can handle, (you spred you Focus out to much) so any other jacks you buy will be tacticaly replacing the current ones. So your next step is warrior models either troopers and / or a solo or two as they act independantly. Not knowing what you want to run your force as i'd suggest Bane Thralls,

To help decide what type of force you want to collect look at the warcasters. They are very central to any army, even with the same force some times just changing your Caster can completely alter the way it runs. Try proxying a different caster with just the force you have now to see what I mean.

Bane Knights. Bane Thralls, Skarlock, Warwitch, and Tartas Sauce.

Just like every other Cryx list i've seen.

Pick an infantry unit you like the look of. The common ones that you'll see are either of the banes, Stayxis Raiders or mechanithralls.

The other units are ok generally to good if used in the right list and right manner. The ones I mentioned are good generally to very good if supported correctly.

Do you want to be competitive?

Casters :
Denny 2. She's like Denny 1, but on crack.
Goreshade 1: brings a good spell list, feat bring a unit of Bane Thralls to the table... have people mentioned Bane Thralls are good because they are.
Terminus: if you manage to actually assemble him, he is fantastic. His model is awkward to put together. He is very very simple to use. He makes cryx infantry fantastic, as if they were not already.

Infantry option 1: Full Bane Thralls with UA.
Its in almost every competitive Cryx list out there in and out of tier. Mid speed, reliable, heavy hitting, stealthed, better then average MAT.

Infantry option 2: Mech Thralls, with a Brute Thralls. They kill jacks and infantry alive because of combo smite. Again, survivable, very useful for other models in the army.

Solo 1: With either of the above, Tartarus is fantastic even if you don't bring Bane Thralls. Mid speed, heavy hitting, thresher.

Solo 2: Pistol Wraiths. Fast, accurate, magical attacks, neat ability if they hit the same model 2x. I think they like most of cryx generates souls.

Solo 3: Slaughterborn. He's a troll. He's angry, he swings, shifts, swings, shifts, etc. With the unit or without, he's fantastic.

Well that depends are you wanting to continue with denny are are you wantintg a different caster?, then build your army around the caster find out what works with the caster you have chosen...

Ive heard Lich Lord Terminus is good with Egaspy (dunno much about Gasphy3 though).

For what its worth, my preferred progression from the starterbox...
