Howdy all, got a new cryx list that I spent some time working on and would like to know what you all think of it. Is it best thing since sliced bread or a flamming garbage ball of fail?

Gorman di Wulfe, Rogue Alchemist 2pts

Pistol Wraith 3pts
Pistol Wraith 3pts

35/35 Points

I know there are better arc nodes out there but i'm putting them in for the mean time until I can buy the other variants. But what do y'all think of it so far?

Looks pretty solid but then, its pDenny....

I think the only 10 points that you have really to spend are the ones that you used for the mechanithralls + frankenstein and the second PW, which I consider optional. I wouldn't run without 2 Nodes, Skarlock, Squad of Banes, BLT and one PW. So you've got 10 points to spare and I'd be hardpressed to come up with something more useful than a second PW.

As for the remaining 7, you could go min biles over McThralls/Frankenstein and still have some points left. That might depend on your meta, which you prolly know best.

You could also run satyxis raiders + UA for those 7, but your list has the advantage of being all undead which makes you safe from excarnate.

I have the withershadow combine I can put in, and for the remaining two maybe put in a WWS. Bile thralls are almost 100% going to be in any future list to help take out any pesky high def models and for the raiders I have nothing against them I just prefer the look of the undead side of Cryx. I also thought of Brute thralls of putting in to help the Mcthralls tackle high armor, for 1pt its a steal

Opening up some points for a heavy 'jack, preferably the Reaper, might be useful. The Banes and BLT can handle most heavy threats, but the ability to drag combined with the enemy 'caster's tasty DEF and ARM after feat and CG will mean dragging is much easier.

Just from long and sometimes (read: often) bitter experience, it's usually good to have a heavy 'jack on hand that can use some of that 7 FOC in a pinch. Bc if your infantry gets wiped by chain lightning or the Black 13th, you've lost your serious melee ability. And pDenny isn't necessarily gonna wade in and carry the day with her pointy stick.

Even better is if you combine the Reaper with the Combine. Then you have a mobile 'jack factory. It's always gratifying to slay an enemy heavy and replace it with a Seether. I love the look on people's faces when I suddenly have an 15+ point advantage.

Just something to think about.
