Hey guys right now i have a full Legion army, but am looking to get a warmachine faction. Im hoping to buy everything i need for cryx in one purchase so im looking at spending like $700-$800 or more if needed. Im pretty sure what units solos and casters i really like and will get but i dont know much about the jacks. Im definitely gona pick up a deathjack, cankerworm, seether, and a battle box. But was wondering what other jacks you would highly suggest i get. Like i said i would like to purcahse everything i need from cryx in one purchase so please suggest any jacks you think i might need.

First off I would strongly suggest NOT buying it all at once. I personally like to playtest models just incase I don't like playing with it although it may look good on paper. Other then that I love my Deathjack. Nightmare is also a solid choice, awsome manuverability! Never played with a Seether but what could be wrong with them? One of our helljacks that I feel is very under rated is the Reaper. Assuming you boost to hit with its harpoon and spend a focus for an extra melee attack after the first, thats two focus spent on three powerfull attacks that can almost not miss. As far as bonejacks are concerned you will absolutely need some Deathrippers and Nightwenches, up to you if you want to spend that extra point for the Defiler. Have heard good things about Stalkers also. Hope this helps.

Or you could be like me and buy everything (other than mechnithralls and styxis)
I have 2 of every non character jack and max unit of all the infantry. 2-3 of every solo. Every single character unit and warcaster.

Go ahead and tell yourself you'll only spend 700-800. The addiction will get you soon enough.

I do think you should wait until the MK2 faction books come out though, just to be "REALLY" sure.

I'd wait for the plastic 'jacks personally... with the use of some magnet magic you'll be able to stretch that cash pretty far.
