	*'''Asphyxious the Hellbringer (Gaspy3):''' Gaspy's final incarnation is a bit less... ''overbearing'' than his previous. He's still good, and definitely usable, but not as crushingly strong as Lich Lord. He's still durable, but has lost his ability to teleport and traded in his murderous, blasting-focused spell list in for one focused on infantry buffs. He's one of the few true support 'casters in Cryx, though he can still enter combat if needed. Very different and unique, and a lot of fun.		*'''Asphyxious the Hellbringer (Gaspy3):''' Gaspy's final incarnation is a bit less... ''overbearing'' than his previous.

	**'''Vociferon:''' Not actually a warcaster, but an attachment stuck on to Gaspy3. Functionally a walking soul collector, only not actually good due to some special rules that make him liable to explode rather than just do his job and hand Gaspy some soul tokens. Mostly just sort of... ''there''.		**'''Vociferon:''' Not actually a warcaster, but an attachment stuck on to Gaspy3.

Nontheless, Denny is an absolute monster on the tabletop, though she's not as capable as some other Cryxian 'casters in melee combat. Rather, she packs a list of debuffs so long it makes the dick yo mama took last night look microscopic in comparison. Fragile, but she can pick apart almost any opposition with ease if played carefully. She's also the best Cryx caster for running Mercs: a list with Nyss Hunters, Boomhowlers, and Master Gunner McNeil all supported by Denny's debuffs is incredibly effective		*'''War Witch Deneghra (Denny1):''' The former Battlebox warcaster for Cryx, and a <s>fantastic starting choice for any new Cryx player</s> terrible choice for a new Cryx player since her power level is over the top and you may end up too used to her insane defensive (Stealth) and offensive (huge amount of debuffs) tech to the point that it will be a crutch.

	*'''Wraith Witch Deneghra (Denny2);''' Unlike her original version, Denny2 does not have a long list of the best debuffs in the game. Instead, she focuses on being able to move your opponent's models around, or stop them cold. Her feat is an absolute bitch: not only does it provide a brutal defensive debuff to your opponent's models, but it flat-out prevents your opponent from moving for a turn. To repeat - for one turn, YOUR OPPONENT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE HIS MODELS. AT ALL.(Can now be shaken off) If your opponent has not yet moved his models in close enough to contest zones, well, you have one more turn where they're not contesting zones. If your opponent left his caster in front of his army, confident that nothing you have can reach him - you can move something obviously threatening in range to attack, and he can't send something in to kill it or screen his caster (or move his caster away). If your opponent left his army at that ''perfect'' position that you can't charge him, but have to get in his charge range - well, now you get to move up AND get the alpha strike. One of Cryx's premiere tournament 'casters, and for good reason. Also has one of the best Tier Lists in the game with Body and Soul (Tier 4 bonus allows you to place offensive upkeeps on enemy units WHEN THE GAME STARTS).		*'''Wraith Witch Deneghra (Denny2);''' Unlike her original version, Denny2 does not have a long list of the best debuffs in the game.

			*'''Bane Witch Agathia:''' The Battlebox Warcaster. She shows off what the Cryx are good at for new players; high focus, good debuffs, giving units Ghostly to move through terrain, a little bit of teleportation, and using the souls of killed opponents to kill their friends. Easy to kill and most likely not to be fielded by players once they learn the game.
	*'''Goreshade the Bastard (Goreshade1):''' Basically Dracula, if Dracula lifted something fierce, and also was about as straightforward as a sledgehammer to the face. He exists to walk up to the enemy 'caster and pop his feat, which summons a Min unit of Bane Thralls to charge the poor bastard. If you can pull that off, great. If not, you're kind of fucked.		*'''Goreshade the Bastard (Goreshade1):''' Basically Dracula, if Dracula lifted something fierce, and also was about as straightforward as a sledgehammer to the face.

	**'''Deathwalker:''' Not a 'caster in her own right, but Goreshade1's bottom bitch. She follows him around on the battlefield, being pretty much pointless save for a debuff that she applies to nearby enemies (which generally means she's about to get gutted). She does give Goreshade an extra life when he dies, though.		**'''Deathwalker:''' Not a 'caster in her own right, but Goreshade1's bottom bitch.

	In terms of gameplay, Cryx is by far the trickiest of the Warmachine factions. They rarely win any stand-up fights, as most of their units are hilariously fragile, but their whole strength is in being able to pick and choose their battles. They are by far the most mobile of the Warmachine armies, and they also do by far the highest amount of damage when on the offensive. In large part, Cryx could be said to be the Warmahordes equivalent of the [[Dark Eldar]].		In terms of gameplay, Cryx is by far the trickiest of the Warmachine factions.

	Cryx's weakest point is its heavy warjacks. Its infantry is simply too good, thus making the opportunity cost too high for most heavy warjacks; the points would be better spent on Moar Baenz. It's also worth noting that helljacks suffer from extreme fragility, which makes their point costs a large risk - your most expensive 'jack might explode without ever getting to do anything. Unless you're ''seriously'' looking to run some helljacks for shits and giggles, even the options noted here as being good are really not worth much consideration. Even if they're ''good'', Cryx has other options that are ''better''. If you REALLY want to run jacks, just play Mortenebra.		Cryx's weakest point is its heavy warjacks.

	*'''Cankerworm:''' Generally considered one of Cryx's most flexible and universally useful 'jack options. Mobile, survivable, hits much harder than you might expect, can snag any awesome weaponry that your opponent's 'jacks wanted to use against you and turn it against them. Especially good with Gaspy, but more than usable for any Cryxian 'caster. It requires support to work, though, as it's more of an opportunist, diving in to clinch the assist, than a frontliner.		*'''Cankerworm:''' Generally considered one of Cryx's most flexible and universally useful 'jack options.

	*'''Deathjack:''' Everyone knows Deathjack. Women want him. Men want him. Cryx players want him. Other factions fear him. He's by far the most expensive 'jack a Cryx player can field, but god ''damn'' if he doesn't put in the work to make it worth every point. In essence, he's a Slayer on steroids. He lacks ranged options, but hits like a fucking truck in melee. Anything he closes with ''will'' die. On top of this, he's more durable than most helljacks, both in terms of statline and in terms of special rules; he ~~heals~~ himself ~~whenever he collects souls from his victims, because oh yeah~~ he can ~~do that. And he turns~~ them into focus. And he generates focus for free on top of that. And it can cast spells from your warcaster's spell list. Absolutely brutal.

	You ''do'' have them, even if they aren't always going to be much of a hindrance. Your ranged game sucks: almost all the "ranged" attacks in your army are almost certainly going to come from either a single solo, the pistol wraith, or your caster's spells. You're generally fragile. While your forces are cheap enough that you can usually make up for that lack of staying power with sheer quantity, enemies running the denial game with counters for high DEF are going to make it an uphill battle, ''especially'' if they brought long-ranged firepower.

While Banes are still incredibly powerful, you need to apply more strategy and use of support models and jamming units to ensure they reach their target and demolish them.

It's because you added some Tartersauce, boy-o! <s>Tartarus is pretty much the best solo Cryx has</s> (you can't take him in Body and Soul, nor do you see him in 30 Bane Knight pSkarre lists), because he takes your Banes (which hit like a truck, assuming they can hit) and makes them absurdly good by letting them hit things. He can Curse a unit or model to increase your charge distance and also inflict a debuff (with Dark Shroud, that means they're suffering -2 ARM and -2 DEF), bring dead Banes back to life, and basically ruin every opponent's day harder than they thought possible. BLT will add to your Thralls with each weakened, living model he mows down, or more accurately, reaps with Thresher. You can actually end up with more Banes than you fielded, so you may want to bring extra. It's a shame that you can't get souls from this. Remember that he's not a Necrosurgeon and your Banes aren't McThralls, though, or your overall strategy could suffer. He can also catch a bullet, bomb, or boosted spell before he enters the fray, but this isn't as scary of a prospect as it initially appears when you realize that he basically just exists to get your Bane units where they need to be without too much of a dent in their numbers.		*'''Bane Lord Tartarus:''' Oh, are they cross because of the Bane Thrall sandwich you've force fed them?

	**'''Satyxis Blood Hag:''' The UA for Blood Witches, and just too good to pass up. She gives the rest of the Witches Incorporeal for added mobility and survivability, and cancels out nearby enemies' Tough and healing in the bargain.		**'''Satyxis Blood Hag:''' The UA for Blood Witches, and just too good to pass up.

	*'''Satyxis Raiders:''' More horny demon pirate ladies. What more could Cryx ask for? They're fast and chew through light infantry brutally fast. Everytime they hurt a Jack they cause 1 point of damage to the casterd. Like the Blood Witches, absolutely brutal with Skarre where they do ~~stake~~ with her Backlash spell.		*'''Satyxis Raiders:''' More horny demon pirate ladies. What more could Cryx ask for?

	**'''Satyxis Raider Sea Witch:''' Another UA that's just too good to pass up. She makes the Raiders pretty much immune to ranged attacks, grants Pathfinder, and if that wasn't enough to make you nut in your pants, comes with a mini-feat that gives the Raiders another die on damage rolls for one turn.		**'''Satyxis Raider Sea Witch:''' Another UA that's just too good to pass up.

	*'''Soulhunters:''' Robot zombie centaur grim reapers. <s>Unfortunately kind of shit since they're geared towards taking out infantry, which Cryx already does plenty well with better units.</s> What are you smoking? These things have 3 attacks each, have SPD 8 (THEY CAN RUN 16") and go Incorporeal with Darraghe Wrathe. Not to mention they're light cavalry. Add Scything Touch or a debuff (like Parasite) to target heavy warjack/warbeast and these guys will destroy it. Most Cryx anti-infanty get shot to bits before they reach their destination, but Soulhunters will tear shit up before the enemy can pull the trigger.		*'''Soulhunters:''' Robot zombie centaur grim reapers. <s>Unfortunately kind of shit since they're geared towards taking out infantry, which Cryx already does plenty well with better units.</s> What are you smoking?
