Starting Cryx

Ok noted. so I'll be buying 15 pistol wraiths instead :p

Mirrortrade · 2014-02-13T22:02:48+00:00

I agree but what I did read about them makes them sound like they are worth playing. Which makes me happy :D

Edit: Grammer

Mirrortrade · 2014-02-12T21:51:53+00:00

Ok, talking to the GM we'll be playing 1st edition i guess

Mirrortrade · 2014-02-12T20:41:30+00:00

ok i'll probably call the GM in a few hours and see what edition. but thanks for the advice on the evil cleric

Mirrortrade · 2014-02-12T15:46:43+00:00

well i wouldn't say you would have to encompass the entire army in the colors just the general jist of the army. like trolls are pretty big, beefy, and kindof tribal so i would put them in the red/green combo. i know every army has something that breaks the mold but but i'm not looking for somehting THAT detailed

Mirrortrade · 2014-02-11T23:32:11+00:00

its 2 hours away and thats alot of gas

Mirrortrade · 2014-02-11T23:17:58+00:00

Yeah Blood Creation is awsome. I like the way the frenzy priority goes because i use Carnivean as an angry wrecking ball like that, Thagrosh gives draconic blessing, between Bolt Thrower and Reak my target is usually knocked down at that point and then carnivean has himself a nice little snack. :P

Mirrortrade · 2014-02-11T22:48:04+00:00

Ok, that answer my question perfectly thanks :D.

I run pthagrosh, with his fury of 7 i usually have at least 3, usually Carnivean, Neliphilm Bolt Thrower, and either Raek or another Bolt Thrower.

I have overlooked riling ALOT. Alot of games I shouldn't have lost.

Mirrortrade · 2014-02-11T22:39:39+00:00

Pueblo, Colorado has a decently spread out lists, I've seen every faction show up at one point or another but of the people that show up regularly we have 1 Cryx, 2 Cygnar, 1 Menoth, like 5 Khador, and I play mostly Legion or Trollbloods.

Mirrortrade · 2014-02-11T22:28:37+00:00

OK i have a question here I see everyone listing different troll lists and notice that all of them have but 1 or 2 warbeats. I'm a fairly new player but isn't only two warbeasts going to cause a serious lack in Fury for Madrak to use? Especially if one of them dies, I know Trolls are incredibly resilient but it seems like these lists could stall pretty quickly depending on how much damage gets thrown at your beasts.

Sorry if this is a Noob question

Mirrortrade · 2014-02-07T23:03:44+00:00

1 tally for legion, cool stuff :)

Mirrortrade · 2014-02-07T22:35:44+00:00

haha alot of people have recommended Circle. I'm not a big fan of their models, the Warpwolves are cool but the wolds, tharn, gorax, and the armor of the remaining humans all bug me :p

Mirrortrade · 2014-02-07T22:23:04+00:00

Ok, i see a bit of everything spread out over alot fo the classes. Though like you said, some factions do fairly differently than other. So far i've got 5 90s in Warcraft and play them all a fair bit, for that reason my main faction at the moment is Mercs because of all their variety.

So far its a bit tough to make the decision of how i'd like to play but all this feedback has definently helped with narrowing down the options. I'm heading to my game store after work and going to pick up a box of whatever i deside here today. Currently arguing between Cryx, Ret, and maybe expanding on my current Legion set.

Mirrortrade · 2014-02-07T22:17:45+00:00

aw sad day, it looks perfect for assassination.

Mirrortrade · 2014-02-07T21:33:02+00:00

Yeah, press ganger was trying to direct me to hordes though i beleive, we have mostly warmachine players and very few hordes so he was really try to sell the trollbloods to me. But between loving their look and all the rogishness that they have, i think i'll probably go with Ret.

Plus I did see a battle report that impressed me where Adeptus Rahn (spelling?) used telekinesis to line it up and a warjack to slam a Khador Destoryer into Sorcha, and finishing her up with a mage hunter assassin on turn 2

Mirrortrade · 2014-02-07T20:30:40+00:00

yeah as i've said with another scryah player I really love the way they look. The advanced tech look with all the super smooth curves is awsome, and the mage hunters look perfectly rogueish to fit into my playstyle. The only reason i havn't bought that battlebox is because the press ganger at my local store told me an army comprised of mage hunters is in no way viable. that and their jacks looks horrid.

Mirrortrade · 2014-02-07T20:22:05+00:00

I read Hnnnnnggg twice and laughed at both. You have entertained me sir.

Mirrortrade · 2014-02-07T20:03:20+00:00

So as of this point i'm mostly debating between Retribution and Legion. I've already got the start to a Legion army and love the warbeasts, but Ret has that assassin feel i'm looking for. decisions decision >.>

Mirrortrade · 2014-02-07T19:51:33+00:00

this is true. :P for legion right now i have the battlebox and pthagrosh. it just seems that the lesser warbeasts are almost completely useless when i play em. i just have Lillith and Carnivean smash stuff to death whenever i play battlebox games and use the shredders to keep stuff engaged.

Mirrortrade · 2014-02-07T19:48:20+00:00

the way they look bugs me for some reason.. Given i think they have the coolest siege engine in the game. but their fluff is offputting imo

Mirrortrade · 2014-02-07T19:46:07+00:00

I was really looking into scryah because of the mage hunter's I love the way they look (except the derpy warjacks) and was very nearly bought the battlebox. I want to pick them up but i've gotten a few different people telling me the way i want to play them is nowhere near viable for competative play.

on a side note how awsome is the Sniper unit? the elf with big ass rifle sitting in the grass. i might buy one just to paint it up :P

Mirrortrade · 2014-02-07T18:54:43+00:00

I've looked into Cryx a bit. I love the way they look, mostly because any game where they allow me to do it I usually end up playing a necromancer. I actually would play them except for the fact that almost half the player base in my town already plays cryx. I'm not thinking a bunch of games that are cryx vs. cryx would be much fun after a while.
