I'm new to Warmachine (only played 1 game so far with borrowed units) and decided to start with Cryx. My choice was mainly based on the look of the faction. I have a 50pt list and a 25pt list and will be playing a Khador and probably a Protectorate player. The Khador guy is hell bent on destroying me so I know he is building against Cryx (based on our last game where he played Cygnar and I played Cryx with a totally different list of what I have now). I just want to have a decent show, regardless of wether I win or loose (if I end up destroying him that would be a cool bonus ).

Right now my strategy is to get my banes close enough to take down some jacks and use Cankerworm and casting through arcnodes to take down infantry and the opposing warcaster. Like I said before, I have only played one game.

Any tips/comments/suggestions/khador hate strategies/etc is greatly appreciated. I own everything listed and I have about another $80 to spare if need be and I have a pDenny as well. Thanks for the help in advance.

Now here are the lists:

25pts:
Lich Lord Asphyxious -6
Cankerworm 5pts
Nightwretch 4pts
Bane Knights (Leader and 5) 6pts
Bane Lord Tartarus 4pts
Skarlock 2pts
Withershadow Combine (3) 5pts
Bane Thralls (Leader and 5) 5pts

50pts:
Lich Lord Asphyxious -6
Nightwretch 4pts
Deathjack 12pts
Cankerworm 5pts
Bane Knights (Leader and 9) 10pts
Bane Lord Tartarus 4pts
Withershadow Combine (3) 5pts
Skarlock 2pts
Bane Thralls (Leader and 9) 8pts
Bane Thrall Officer & Standard Bearer 3pts
Gorman Di Wulfe, Rogue Alchemist 2pts
Necrotech 1pts

Also, would this list play better with egaspy or pdenny?

If this is for casual you are going to lose friends Standard eGaspy build, looks solid.

Good luck to your opponents.

Also, should I keep the Withershadow Combine or use a unit of Bile Thralls?

I like the Bile Thralls. With excarnate and the purge attack you can open holes for the assassination run. Also, you can purge your own guys to get fuel for the feat turn if your stuff is not dying fast enough.
