I've played warhammer (40k and fantasy) in the past, but I want to move into a game that's a bit cheaper, and warmachine seems to be on the money. I've heard a lot about how important synergy is in warmachine, so I want to know, does this list have good synergy? (It doesn't need to be tournament competitive, I play casually for fun)

Warcaster:
Iron Liche Asphyxious

Jacks:
Deathripper
Deathripper
Cankerworm
Stalker

Units:
Satyxis Raiders (Leader plus 9 grunts)
Satyxis Raider Sea Witch
Mechanithralls (Leader plus 9 grunts)
Brute Thrall
Necrosurgeon plus 3 stitch thralls

Solos:
Satyxis Raider Captain
Skarlock Thrall
Warwitch Siren

35 points total. I'm not sure about the stalker, but I don't know what this list needs.

Honestly looks like a good list, the only thing you might be missing is hitting power - your brute thralls are about the only thing over POW14, so you'll run into trouble against some ARM heavy lists.

You could try to take out the Stalker, a death ripper and the warwitch to fit in a heavy (not sure which, as I'm not a cryx player myself) or a unit of bane thralls plus U/A.

Iron lich Asphyxious can easily arrange a +5 damage swing by combining Parasite and Scything touch, meaning he will have effective POW 20 combo strikes from the Mechtralls (or just 2x POW 16 attacks each if you'd rather have that), or effective POW 14 weapon master Satyxis when they mini-feat. If there's one thing the list does not lack it's hitting power.

That said the list has a lot of light jacks, which Asphyxious will have trouble fuelling. I would take out at least either the Stalker or the Cankerworm and get some more stuff into the list. You also really, really want two Necrosurgeons for maximal recursion.
