I am curious if anyone here has tried Brawlmachine and if so what are your thoughts on it? Specifically where Crix is concerned.

I have been playing it quite regularly. It's great fun, because the game is so small and fast paced that control and striking first are a lot more valuable. Also because the format is small, people tend to have less tools available, so Incorporeal or Ghostly for instance, even soul collection, get proportionally better.
I've been trying out some rather janky casters, such as Aiakos2 or Mortenebra2, and they're actually not as bad in the format as you might think. Rushing the scenario and/or dealing as much damage as you can are definitely viable strategies and those are the things that Cryx are good at.

I unfortunately have not had a chance to do brawlmachine. With my playgroup, if we want a small game we will often do riot quest, if we want warmachine, we tend to do the 75 pt standard thing. Let me know how it is, as it seems fun.

Let me know how it is, as it seems fun. I can really recommend giving it a shot. It's a nice change of pace without being a replacement for standard SR games. Because of the small size, and relatively large part of your army invested in the battlegroup, it's a bit more of a scenario rush and there's a lot more value in exploiting good positioning over it being a slug fest like it can be at 75. I've had a lot of people that were skeptical about it at first that all admitted that they're having a good time with the format.

Most of those do look fun. I think I will be trying out the Sturgis 2 one or the Rahera one.

I've been playing Brawlmachine on War Table almost exclusively lately (last few months) and I think it is a really neat concept and good format. I don't think I'll be going back to 75pts SR games after the break, smaller games are so much more fun and satysfiying for me.
It is a good format for Cryx also, quite a few Cryx choices work really well in such a smaller, faster format. With scenario being extremely important in Brawlmachine, access to cheap and/or Incorporeal solos is invaluable.
