35pt pDenny anything galringly wrong with my list?

[hereticwolf]

So I'm very new to cryx however I think I have a solid plan for a 35pt list
pDenny
2x Death ripper
Nightmare
Skarlock thrall
Bane lord tartarsauce
10 bane knights
2 pistol wraiths

Basically its all ghost walking madness to the face. Freeze the caster in place w/ Pwraiths
Let the knights fall and return nothing like reaching out and touching someone w/ an extra d6 dmg

Nightmare is just there to eat things and possible chow down on a caster
The rippers are there for mobile spell platforms and a bit of extra dmg

So what do you guys think?

[Sanctjud]

Lack of Siren is IMO criminal.
Nightmare is...primarily fat.
As much as I love knights, I generally assume Bane Thralls go with her, to compound the mass stealth.

Agreed on all points.

[Gopz]

what would you replace Nightmare with?

[Lamoron]

2x Sirens + WSC... the last point to go Thralls instead of Knights.

[The Junkie]

Just echoing what Lamoron and Sanctjud said.

[hereticwolf]

Why are Thralls better than knights

[Sanctjud]

Not better, just maximizes stealth, while the skarlock can ghost walk them.

You already have Ghostly in the list and a Skarlock to cast it every turn. So that's one thing the Knights don't gain for you. The Knights arm still fails to any direct shot, but stealth prevents that from happening. Sure you miss out on reach, but what can ya' do. pDenny can debuff enough to make the Banes super accurate. BLT is not needed in the list if there is something else you wanted. pDenny is really really strong and because of that she can run almost anything without issue.

pDenny
Skarlock thrall
2 x deathripper
Bane Lord Tartarus
10 bane thralls + ua
2 x pistol wraith
2 x warwitch siren
withershade combine

Seems strong but feels a bit naked with no big jack. Does it need one?Maybe I'm too used to Khador.

Stealth should let you get in close without being shot too much except for AOE's which get lucky. Legion might be problematic though.

2nd wave probably deathrippers arcing spells into them (preferably the caster).

3rd wave follow up with the thralls, while WSC and pistol wraiths bring up the rear, taking out solos on the way and maybe even sneaking behind the enemy caster.

One good things is that there are a lot of threats coming from multiple directions. Does this roughly sound how this list would play out? Thanks from a Cryx neophyte

pDenny can easily run without heavies.. I had a slayer in a 35pt list and didn't even need it lol she's good with range, ultimately.

I don't know. I mean I do agree with the statements made, but there are so many ways to play pDenny list. And I think you were just trying to understand if there was anything completely out of the ordinary. There isn't anything extremely wrong with your list. You do have two arc-nodes and a potential pistol wraith assasination (but no warwitch for that needed extra focus to pop-and-drop).

If you like the style of a ghostly theme, your list will do alright. There's no glaring obvious things wrong with it. A slight change I might make to your list while staying in theme is to swap that skarlock out for the warwitch siren though if you have one. It will give you the potential to give that free focus out to your node to do the run, feat, parasite, pistol wraith kill and it will stay safer. Your skarlock is typically a 'ghost walk' supplier, but most of your other stuff can do that on their own.

It feels dirty when your heavy hitter is stealthed as it moves up the table against those ranged lists that like to soften them up as they approach upfield. Such a warm feeling. Haven't used Nightmare in a while, but it's a bout time I put that on the table again (and no fear? seriously, his name is Nightmare).
