Hey guys, just got back into Warmachine after a long break, and getting into Cryx. I've got a list I've been playing around with, and I just wanted a few opinions. Additionally, I just finished my pAsphyxious model and wanted to show off! So here's the list:
pAsphyxious
War witch Siren x2
Pistol Wraith x2
Necrotech
Withershadow Combine
Skarlock Thrall
2x Ripjaws
Reaper
Slayer

35 pts

Eventually I want to replace the pistol wraiths with a unit, maybe bane thralls or knights. Any thoughts on bringing it up to 50 pts or any obvious changes? Also, the finished gaspy! Sorry it's sideways, uploaded from my phone and don't know how to fix that.

I will admit I always struggle getting the most out of my reaper when I used it. The harpoon is nice in theory but damn fiddly in practice. In all though you've got a nice selection of solos available although you may find the necrotech is a bit hit and miss given the comparitively light nature of most of cryxs jacks if you're bringing him for his repair skill. When it comes to units i've always liked the mechanithrall & stitch combo but it's hard to go wrong with banes, they do work with most if not all casters nicely.

As an incoporeal solo you'll find that quite a few players get jumpy at the thought of pistol wraiths so you may find them quite handy in "it's lurking right there... What's it going to do?" manner. as they lose incoporeal when they attack it might be worth not doing something just because you can.

You do seem a little solo heavy. A unit or two would really bulk up your numbers. Asphyxious likes his melee infantry IIRC, so Banes (either) or Mechanithralls would do you fine. Bile Thralls are always fun.

Does his feat still damage all living models in his CTRL area? If so, you may want to drop the Sirens. They have very low ARM and could get squashed on a bad roll.

His feat damages enemy living models. The warwitches will be fine.

With Parasite and Scything touch, you're going to want some higher MAT infantry, as you can boost their power by 5 (-3 arm for parasite, +2 damage for scything), but cannot make anything easier to hit.

Satyxis raiders with UA doing CMA can really destory a lot of things. Especially on a jack. I'd drop the reaper, pistol wraith, and a warwitch for the Satyxis with UA and the Captain solo for the extra range.

At fifty, drop a Warwitch and add that unit. Banes and Tartarus can also do well, but you really want things with higher MAT or a way to CMA or boost MAT (such as tartarus's curse).


Welcome back to the service of the Dragonfather!

Ah. In Mk I it hit friendlies too. I thought it still did.

In that case, I recommend Bloodgorgers. Accurate in melee, hit hard with Gaspy's damage buffs, and are medium bases to block LOS to Gaspy himself.

Thanks for the input. Played two games today using asphyxious at 35pts, trying out a few things. Using Satyxis wasn't something I wanted to initially try, since I don't have the UA, but the list I ultimately ended up really enjoying was as follows.

pAsphyxious
2x Warwitch Siren
2x Ripjaw
2x Pistol Wraith
Reaper
Blackbane's Ghost Raiders (min)
Withershadow Combine
Skarlock Thrall

Blackbane's did so much work it was ridiculous. Enough said. The withershadow and reaper combo is great, boxed a defender and got a free seether. I want to keep one pistol wraith, but two seems excessive. Any ideas what to do with the 3 points? I was thinking Madelyn Corbeau and a Necrotech.

For giggles might it be worth upping the size of the ghost raiders?

You could also add Gorman di Wulfe to weaken jacks/black oil anything with high defense.
