So, is anyone else excited about the upcoming release of Karybdis? I've seen his picture, but I was wondering if anyone had any leaked info about him to share. What do we know about him? I believe he's supposed to be Aiakos' character jack, is that right? I've been enjoying playing Aiakos2, so I sure hope he fits well with the assault them of his feat!

Despite my usual salt I am really excited for new models in cryx and really hope he does well. Both karybdis and Morty2 I am really excited about, and the cain solo I hope is good, but I am probably going to convert something for him, I think that model looks like shit personally.

Im hoping for something cool. But part of me is expecting meh. The other part of me is reserved. Ive made the decision not to purchase new releases if the new models fill a role our models used to do until they created the gap with mk3. But if its a unique addition i will probably make the purchase.

Was real excited to pick him up then saw the 54$ tag on DGI. Want to see the rules real bad.

After seeing the menoth jack and cygnar jack, i hope hes on the same power curve. But i fear theyre playing cryx super close to the chest. Which leads to stuff that works but is pretty boring.

I agree, but I also like to collect and paint models, and who knows he might be good one day.

He will have a special action to place a cloud on himself and have Prowl, that's pretty much all that got leaked. Prowl might be just with Aiakos, I don't quite remember. Then, stuff we can reasonably deduce: - SPD 5, Pathfinder, Amphibious and Steady, because it's a crab jack. Also most likely DEF 12, ARM 18, though there is precedent for upping armour on character jacks, so if we're lucky he will be ARM 19 (the only precedents for upping defense are Barathrum, but they probably didn't want to touch his MK 2 stats, and Erebus, but that's his thing)
- It's likely that he will have MAT 7 because characters often get an extra MAT.
- By the looks of it, he will most likely get the Kraken treatment and have 4" melee in activation and 2" outside of it.
- I kind of hope he won't have a gun, because it will just drive up his cost for probably no real benefit.
If just my deductions are true, especially if he turns out to be ARM 19, I'm really excited to play him with Gaspy 3, I've been wanting something that can reliably keep Unyielding, the reach and knockdown immunity will be perfect.

He's a crabjack. He'll have a gun.

yea, look at the model again. there is a gun directly under his head. probably range 8 or something with a d3 shot at pow 10. bc assault on aiakos feat so they had to give him *something*

I'm actually hoping for a spray of some sort - that plus a cloud and those tentacles makes it more squid-like! :-p

Maybe with cont corrosion on the spray, yep - either that or with an actual pow - I'd rather the spray be able to do work as well as blind - a pow gives damage as well as blind against heavies, while cont corrosion gives options against infantry

If Kribby was a squiddy gorman I'd be ecstatic.

He also has knockdown on a stick which is huge for low rat riflemen. I think Aiakos2 can have an interesting ghost fleet list, I'm just too obsessed with Terminus right now to work it out.
