Where to go from here?

[transmetro]

Hello all. I just started Cryx, and I'm looking to expand my army a bit. I already have the following:

Warwitch Deneghra
Skarre (both versions)
Slayer
Deathripper (x2)
Defiler (x2)
Deathjack

I'm wondering mainly which units/solos to pick up, since I'm planning on getting the plastic helljack, and should be good on that front for a while. Also thinking about picking up Asphyxious, but still, the question is what units to use to fill out the army.

I'm thinking a unit of mechanithralls and a brute or 2 to start, but was wondering what else would be good... figured this would be the place to ask!


I'll mainly be playing against Khador and Cygnar, if that helps.

thanks!

Satyxis Raiders, bane thralls, and bane lord tartarus.

I'd also suggest the Nightmare, a helldiver or two.

[NoGamingInMississippi]

Bane Thralls and Tartarus for sure.

I also believe the bane thralls and Tartarus would be a good call. The Bane knights are pretty neat with eSkarre.

[transmetro]

would you guys recommend bane thralls or bane knights? What's the difference between the 2?

[hauntingexperience]

Thralls have stealth (survives gunlines abit better) and dark shround (makes them hit harder)

Knights have reach so they have a larger threat range. They die like flies in MK2 from what I've seen though.

If you want to run Bane Knights, take the full 10 and Tartarus. Because, well, many are going to die. They even get a fix off of their buddies dieing ala vengeance (or something).
On the other hand, you can safely run a minimum unit of Bane Thralls without worrying whether they'll reach the other side of the board before they die.

Bane Thralls
-Stealth = survivable
-Dark Shroud = hit harder than BK
-Cheaper
-Stupidly powerful with Denny's feat and debuffs

Bane Knights
-Reach = greater threat range
-Vengeance = even more threat range...and attacks
-Ghostly = more maneuverable...aka more threat range
-Benefit from a caster with occultation (now all they need is dark shroud...)

You'll want Mcthralls when playing Skarre as she likes some cheap fodder in here list.
