Got my Cryx Deck today!

[Vondell]

Happy panda.
Which the quote in my signature is off of the Nightwretch.

[coolwhip1]

Are the new models, the ones that will be in the faction books, in the deck as well? Or is just the models that are currently released? Just curious.

[PG_Deathraven]

Any changes from the last printout? New stuff?

[karn987]

Yeah, please tell me they wised up within the last few weeks and didnt use their stupid card layout any more? (Though I realize they probably are still using it -_-)

[2LiveIs2Die]

What stupid card layout?
I've never seen one.

[Vondell]

The deck only has cards for models released before 01/01/10, so no Corruptor card . But, I do like the card layout...looks nice. Plus a card that lists all the icons in case you don't have them memorized yet. Everything looks pretty much the same as pdf...of course, I haven't gone card by card to verify, but nothing stands out. (Although the Seether now has a left and right arm unlike 2 left arms in pdf. )

[Gargathor]

If you get the chance, could you please post how many cards they provide for the arc nodes? I've got money riding on the question, and it would be nice to know if I need to hit the ATM prior to game night on Wednesday

Great! I was hoping they'd include one. The new icon thing takes getting used to.

3 each of Deathripper, Defiler, and Nightwretch...good luck.

Thou'rt a gentleman sir! Thanks for the footwork.

[Hjelmen0]

Vondell, could you please tell me how many cards the deck contains of the following:
Pistol Wraith
Scrap Thrall
Necro Tech
Skarlock Thrall

A friend of mine wants to share a deck, but we clash mightily on those cards :P

lol, and some of us have multiple PW's and Necrotechs

[Hjelmen0]

So do I, which is the problem :P OCD dictates that I have cards for every model that has a damage track, and OCD doesn't share!

P.Wraith = 2
Scrap = 1
Necro = 3
Skarlokk = 1

Hope that helps.

Jon.

[ArchonXVI]

3 each of Deathripper, Defiler, and Nightwretch...good luck.

Three of each?
...

Who would have three of any of them? They come in groups of two...

Is PP mocking us?

[haunter1029]

So is the defiler spray or single shot.

[Vondell]

If you had a 100 pt army or larger, you wouldn't field 3 nodes? Plus, each deck is 90 cards...so, gotta make allowances somewhere.

And Defilers are SP8, but still 5 points to field...

[2LiveIs2Die]

I'm going to have to buy two faction decks?
Seriously... thats bullwaffles.

[hauntingexperience]

Not as bad as having to buy the Merc deck for 2-3 cards.

Gorman
Bokur
Orin

Does anyone use any other mercs in MK2?

I'm just going to beg some other guys at my LGS for a Bokur and Gorman from their decks I think...

No, it's worse.
Buying the merc cards at least gives you something you didn't have, but strictly speaking in rules you have to have [4x] nightwretch cards to play 4 of them.

[hauntingexperience]

I can send off some of my spare Cryx cards. I only have 2 of each jack anyways.

I will need another Pistol Wraith though. Does anyone know how many Machine Wraiths come in the deck? I hope 3.

Models without wounds will not require multiple cards.
And I don't want anyone sending me free cards, my point is they know for a fact they sell them 2 at a time, why give someone and odd number, if people will run a few more often than 1-2, just put 4 in there, and charge us another 2 cents.

Why do hot dogs come in packs of 10 and the buns come in packs of 8?

The deck box is designed to fit 90 cards(which I'm also sure whichever machine is programmed to put those 90 cards in), so it is not economical to include "extra" cards. And to put more of said cards in would cause other cards to be taken out, which would in turn probably cause complaints that not enough of those cards were put in.

[PG_malfred]

I use damage tokens to track multi-wound models. Aren't damage tracks
essentially the same between the bonejacks? Using another bonejacks card
to track would also help you identify which bonejack was which.

[haunter1029]

That's probaly true on the bonejacks. Did they clarify phantom hunter on Eshade whether he can arc a spell thru a node without LOS.

No such luck, yet...

[Fearless]

And, i suppose that while Cygnar got a point cost discount on Trenchers, and a buff the the (already excellent) Sentinel; Egoreshade is still lame. Would that be a correct assumption?

[PG_JonWebb]

I guess folks might have three defilers. One from the Denny box and two from a blister...

I need another Stalker as they come two to the box and I've got three...
Oh and another deathripper, got four of them.

Still, TBH I will just use the old cards for marking damage. It's not the end of the world.
Plus the days where I need three-four deathrippers in an army are long gone. That's 12-16 pts!

Cheers.

Jon.

For the sake of argument, In my resurgence list I will be playing, I am taking 4 nightwretches in round one.

[PG_JonWebb]

Fair enough, there will always be a counter to every argument. But with the increase in arc nodes cost I find I take way less.


I'd be interested to see your list and its progression to 50 and 75.
Denny or Coven perhaps?

Cheers.

Jon.

[Hjelmen0]

Thanks for the count, Dancin' Monkey!

[Gargathor]

Since the only reason anyone >needs< multiple cards is for the damage track (You only need one MKII card for the rules), here are two solutions.


1.) Use an army builder program.

2.) Use Mk I cards in addition to your MKIIs.

I'm holding onto all my MKI arc node cards, to use on those on those occasions when I forget to print out a list.

[biohazardjonny]

So is the defiler spray or single shot.

he is a spray now. whats with the wretch being a aoe only when boosted?
* note i only have the book not cards yet my lgs didnt have them *

[Sideshow Lucifer]

It isn't only when boosted. It's a seperate focus to make it an AOE all together.

[Hjelmen0]

Yep. You can spend one focus to make the shot an AoE, and _then_ you can start spending focus for boosts... :|

Nope.
I'm OCD and I can't do that :]

[Ghyrrshyld]

Kinkos maybe?

[Zaxon]

Are the cards in the deck the shiny coated coats that came with 2010 Caine and Dannon & Bull, or are they the same as previous cards?

[PG_JonWebb]

same as previous I believe.
No shiny in my deck.

[Spleen Hammer]

So, they're not the shiny happy coated cards, like I got in my Basher!?! Why are they so dang expensive then?

I am officially perturbed...
