Cryx Jacks Death Jack
Iron Lich Overseer Withershadow Combine Warwitch Sirens solos with Battlegroup Controller, Necrotechs Black Ogrun Iron Mongers (new Cryx mechanic unit due in early 2018) Scrap Thralls Soul Trappers Cephalyx units
Benefit 1: Can take 1 Mercenary solo and 1 Mercenary unit
Benefit 2: For every 30 points of warjacks can take 1 cryx light warjack costing 7 points or less (no Stalkers)
Benefit 3: Heavy warjacks gain Carapace (+4 ARM vs. ranged)
Benefit 4: +2" of deployment
Wow! That's a cool 'jack theme for Cryx. Lot's of possibilities.

Carapace seems crazy strong. I understand that Cryx Jacks die too easy to shooting, but they'll be impossible to take down at range with this.

Well now. This pretty much serves as a hard shutdown of ranged lists.

I see this theme and then I look at secret masters and I just wonder...What the heck. Welcome to Gaspy3 Jack spam...because we need more jack spam in MK3. How do they test these lists and think they are balanced?

From the fact that it's listed as a specific benefit of this theme, it looks like they've decided not to allow a merc unit in all theme lists.

Carapace DJ takes an average 5 damage from two boosted Stormwall shots. This is dumb. Now it will be harder to kill Cryx at range than Khador. Two shots from one of the best guns in the game barely scratch it.

Oh no people will have to do something other than only bring shooting lists to tournaments! All is lost! The game is doomed! Doomed I say!

I am more concerned about negating free strikes at this point. That could be a problem. I think the meta will adapt though. With infantry coming back we'll see more models denying landing zones and maybe even things like Silver Line Stormguard.

The gold standard for Warjack theme just shook up.
Slayers? Where are you?
