By now I am sure everyone has seen the reveal, but seeing as there is no thread about it I figured I would start one. I give you "The black industries" theme force. privateerpress.com/community/privateer-insider/insider-09-15-2017I am new to Cryx myself (just recently purchased a large army off of Ebay), but I definitely love Jacks and this seems like a really solid theme force right off the bat. A free 7 point or less light jack for every 30 points of Warjacks is amazing, easily netting us 21 free points of lights. The 2 inches of extra deployment cannot be overstated, and with our quick jacks will let us book it up the field turn 1. Finally, all heavy jacks pick up carapace (+4 armour vs shooting attacks and free strikes). This last theme benefit is really intriguing to me (especially in a Cryx army), and unless I am mistaken will be really solid into shooting lists. I don't fancy being a shooting army when the enemy is packing arm 21 through 23 across the board. It's a good time to be in Cryx! |

I have played primarily Circle since I started playing but have also played some Legion. I have always found the game is at its best when Cryx is at the top. I recall very fondly playing my Krueger2 lists in MkII vs Cryx (Skarre1 20 banes / 30 mccanithralls). Those were the days! I am excited to see what the other side of that coin looks like  |

Lucky for you I had emergency cookies prepped just for this. I knew we could count on you to be prepared. The Dragonfather would be proud of you if he was capable of that emotion. |

I am excited to see what the other side of that coin looks like That's likely because games are almost always fun when you're winning, and it's about how the game goes when you're losing. When you lose to Cryx, you likely murdered 50+ guys and it just wasn't enough or done quick enough, but hey at least I got to kill most of the Cryx guys things. When factions like Trolls or Khador are on top they armor brick super hard & when you lose you kill next to nothing & it feels like you didn't do anything. It's the Haley2 issue, few people enjoy a game where all they did was run forward & lose. That doesn't happen against Cryx unless you walk into an early assassination. Cryx always has easy to kill models. |

Cryx always has easy to kill models.I couldn't have said it better myself. Cryx always seems to be a nice counter to those types of Brick lists as well, which helps keep the game in a good spot balance wise IMO. |
