First off the list:

Satyxis Blood Witches (max)
- Satyxis Blood Hag

I played a 25pt version last night and was very happy with the results. I was able to collect both soul and corpse tokens from the enemy and his poor trolls were unable to hit the raiders back in melee. After my feat turn I was left with 20 focus and a caster within charge range, 10 mechanithralls with 6 more corpse tokens waiting and 3 control points winning me the game.

Quick game; plan infantry die to Satyxis, both sorts, heavies die to my jacks, which can get pathfinder, anything that dies becomes mechanithralls and Gaspy sits in the middle laughing, supporting and killing if needed.

The question is, what do I send my last 5 points on?

Biles? Arc node? Steelhead Riflemen (min)? Assorted solos?

Wow, that doesn't sound fun to play against (like not even a little).

Cant go wrong with a pistol wraith and a Warwitch Siren.

Agreed, the plan is to play this in tournaments rather than friendlies down the local. You're probably right about the pistol wraith and siren. Withershadow Combine is another thought as well.

Withershadow would be great with a Reaper.

Either way you go its a rough list to play against.

Aren't six Mechanithralls too easy to dispatch all in one turn? Otherwise this looks good. I've been thinking about running him with a maxed out unit of Bane Knights.

This=Just plain vishous

If it was a front line unit I would agree with you but they are second line coming into the battle around turn 3/4.

And the malice & Withershadow combine is where the really money is for Cryx much easier to get dismantle/dark industries to work effectively.

You may have issues with time.
If you are not having issue with time, conversely, if you don't have issues with time, it's most likely because you are not taking maximum advantage of the units.

Good point and I'm starting to get back into practising with timed turns (deathclock hasn't made much of an impact in the UK). The 35 pt version I ran the other night was continually bumping up against the time limit.
