What I'm looking to do is to build 2 lists (1 from Cryx and 1 from Cygnar) that are designed to face each other head to head, be close enough to equivalent that it'll come down more to skill and luck of the dice instead of 1 dominating the other due to 1 being stronger than the other (would prefer that if one must be stronger, it be the Cryx, since I'll usually be playing using the Cygnar). Another thing I'm looking to do is to attempt to ensure that both lists stay roughly equal with or without spells/feats/special attacks/etc.. (using only basic Focus manipulation for running/charging/boosting/etc... and basic movement/shooting/melee/etc... for those games without spells/feats/special attacks/etc...). Most games with either of these lists will be played with family and close friends (most of whom have little/no wargaming experience) with Cryx vs. Cygnar.

The lists are both 14 point lists if my understanding of the points system is correct (I'm still a noob to Warmachine, and have only used Battle Groups so far).

Cryx:
Iron Lich Asphyxious
2x's Reaper Helljacks
Slayer Helljack

Cygnar:
Commander Coleman Stryker
Charger Light Warjack
Defender Heavy Warjack
Ironclad Heavy Warjack

Would these lists achieve the goal that I'm looking for? If not, what changes would you recommend to either list to achieve the goal?

Thanks in advance.
